This is actually a UK edition made in France by a UK label for the UK market.
- NOTE 2: This one sounds much softer and even somewhat muffled compared to the release right below.

In fact this is one of the best quality (if not even THE best quality) Finnish made vinyl I have ever played.

had already been released (if I recall the lyrics were added to the bands website in around 2008-2009).

- OTHER: Originally released sealed without any stickers on shrinkwrap.
- NOTE 1: The pressing quality is very good with only slightly warped and slightly off-centered records. The 2007 copy I have has worse pressing errors than this one.
However, I don't like the cut at all as sounds dull and lifeless. The 2022 cut is not much better either.
- NOTE 2: Neither the band nor the label released any official public info of this 2015 vinyl reissue series prior to the release date, these simply popped up for sale.

- RELEASED: Reissue made and released in 2022.
Released on 28th of October 2022 (source: Backstage Rock Shop, Spinefarm Records webshop and various other webshops).
- OTHER: Originally released in a resealable clear plastic sleeve without any stickers on it.
- NOTE 1: The cover is pretty much just a reprint of the 2015 edition with only updated copyright year and (C) (P) marks on the back.
The innersleeves also still carry the cat# of the 2015 edition.
- NOTE 2: The pressing quality might be better as both records were already slightly warped and slightly off-centered when I opened this from shrinkwrap.
These records sound dull and lifeless, not much of a difference to the 2015 JP cut.
- NOTE 3: The original release date was 18th of October but it was pushed 10 days ahead.
- NOTE 4: This was cut by the same plant as many recent reissues of Finnish albums and singles like the reissues of Eppu Normaali Valkoinen kupla and Kahdeksas ihme
albums and Hurriganes Blue Suede Shoes and Children of Bodom Downfall singles. All these releases come in a resealable clear plastic sleeve with a glue flap
meaning they were most likely also pressed by the same plant.

SPINE735237
- RELEASED: Reissue made and released in 2022.
Released on 28th of October 2022 (source: Backstage Rock Shop, Spinefarm Records webshop and various other webshops).
- OTHER: Originally released in a resealable clear plastic sleeve without any stickers on it.
- NOTE 1: The cover is pretty much just a reprint of the 2015 edition with only updated copyright year and (C) (P) marks on the back as well as the cat# on the spine and
center labels. The innersleeves still carry only the cat# of the 2015 edition.
- NOTE 2: The pressing quality might be better as both records were already slightly warped and slightly off-centered when I opened this from shrinkwrap.
These records sound dull and lifeless, not much of a difference to the 2015 JP cut.
The black vinyl clearly has more accurate sound quality than these blue vinyl though these blue transparent vinyl are VERY neat looking.
- NOTE 3: The original release date was 18th of October but it was pushed 10 days ahead.
- NOTE 4: This was cut by the same plant as many recent reissues of Finnish albums and singles like the reissues of Eppu Normaali Valkoinen kupla and Kahdeksas ihme
albums and Hurriganes Blue Suede Shoes and Children of Bodom Downfall singles. All these releases come in a resealable clear plastic sleeve with a glue flap
meaning they were most likely also pressed by the same plant.
