The Opeth Collector's Thread

[isolation_years]

they don't seem to go for as much it seems though, i'm basing this on both value and its limitations

 

[Silhouette_01]

this is true those still day test press' always go for high value when you see them i dont actually think ive ever seen one on ebay i have seen the grey press but not the test press

 

[Dammnare]

WS Collectors'

Lamentations

What are the "holy grail" of Opeth collectors items? I mean the rarest of the rare... The Orchid promo I'd assume and their first demos which I doubt anyone here has ever even seen.

That is a good question, Ozzloaf! I believe that the "Orchid" promo and their first demos don't exist, at least that is what other collectors have mentioned here earlier. But you should never say never... I also agree that the "holy grail" must be the "Still Day Beneath the Sun" test pressing with 24 copies in the world.

I just received the "Orchid" and "My Arms Your Hearse" test pressings on white vinyl from PD today and they are absolutely breath taking and beautiful! It is fantastic to have a complete set of test pressings on white vinyl of the three first albums and there only exist 5 copies of these in the world. They will absolutely be some of the greatest gems of my collection. I also have the test pressings for the three first albums on black vinyl, and these are signed by the band and there exist 5 copies in the world.

I am waiting for the Opeth Wooden Box set with test pressings, which I also believe will be great. As you probably know there are 50 sets in the world.

To me personally, my signed copy of the "Ghost of Perdition" promo CD and "The Drapery Falls" promo CD are "Holy Grails" in my collection.

^ I am currently awaiting my new holy grail, the white morningrise test press much like yours.
Some of my more prized peices include signed booklet from Ghost Reveries, signed watershed booklet, promo cds (still Life, BWP, Damnation, Mellotron Heart), especially the Roundhouse Tapes promo CD with that special cardboard case, I haven't seen that in a long time.

 

[Gogsi]

For me the holy grails are:
- vinyl test pressings
- Watershed full album promo
- Ghost of Perdition promo
- The Grand Conjuration promo
Simply because I don't own them.

The holy grails I own (best pieces in my collection):
- Still Day... grey vinyl
- MAYH promo CD
- Morningrise promo tape
- Morningrise 1st japanese issue (Avalon - 1997)

Hi guys,
asking for your opinion on what to think of the two Deliverance and Damnation "advance CDs" I received the other day, won on an eBay auction.
Both discs came in a plain white paper sleeve, like most software discs. The discs themselves have a white sticker label on them. On one you can see through the sticker label that it's a CD-R 32x, and on the other you can see a duplicate sticker label glued underneath the first one. They are supposed to be Canadian advance promo CDs released by Koch Entertainment.

Is this common practice on advance discs, or has anyone seen the likes of these before? I'm thinking it's a fraud.

There are also several typos on the track listings (Window Pane, In My Time Of need, Death Wispered Lullaby, Weath, Master 's Apprentices).

Here're links to the auctions:

Any advice on what to do?

Thanks,

^im thinking fraud

a lot of promos ive got seem pretty plain, but never like that

 

[terrorbakis]

Hard to choose my holy grail but i would say my signed BWP LP, (signed by original lineup) Otherwise it would be my Still day "7 testpressing or Still Life testpressing

 

[AnTz0r]
