Demo's, CD- and LP pressings - CATALOGUE

[haayema]

So I was wondering, is there a known catalogue which lists all (un)released stuff from Amon Amarth?

When I'm into a band, I'd like to collect as much as possible. All stuff like demo's, promo's, different pressings, misspresses etc.

Anyone willing to share some info about this?
I searched with the search option, but couldn't find anything related...

 

[haayema]

Does anybody here seriously collect Amon Amarth stuff?

Dude, listen to me, don't make the same mistakes I did when I was young (gosh I feel old saying this...)
I used to collect everything that is somehow serialized (if that is the correct translation). Like I remember me investing all my pocket money in video tapes to record whole series from TV and I got so nervous when I missed one, it was like real pain.
Perfectionism can be good, but don't let it escalate.
Be happy if you find something you can add to your collection, but don't try to get a complete collection (which is actually not really possible). Get as much as possible, as you said, but don't get in an viscious circle.

But - to answer your question, have you had a look at Victorious Merch yet? Searched through Metal Blade? Or Google? You'd be surprised what you find

Thanks for your advice
Unfortunately, I allready am a collector I collect Metallica items too, allthough I'm much more into deatm metal etc.

Anyway, I found some diverse items on ebay, like 3 different versions of Sorrow, and a digipack from Fate of Norns I haven't seen before.

I just think it would be cool to catalogue all official releases, I don't really like bootlegs etc. But maybe I'll start small and post my findings here


Maybe anyone could tell me what rarest items are? I guess the Scum demos myself, but again, i haven't really put time into this, YET.

This is all I have at the moment. Of course there are several promo's available for the regular presses, like an TOTTG CD promo. I read somewhere on the boards about a Once... cassette, haven't seen any cassettes ever, maybe a boot?? Please post info here

Aslo, there seem to be different presses for different countries. I have some Russian editions from FOHO or something.

OF course there also are the "side projects" from some bandmembers, for example This Ending with Fred.

Well, now it's time to put your info and pics up here, I'd prefer demo's, early stuff and vinyl, but see for yourself!!

Congrats to the lucky fucker who won the Amon Amarth demo on Ebay

It went for $174.15. I already had $100.00 on it, but I was in school and just got back home. Couldn't leave early because I would've missed an "important lesson" according to my prof. I definitely could have missed it. Who ever got the demo was a very lucky individual. I had $350.00 set for the demo. Oh well, next time.

 

[haayema]

Damn, I missed the demo as wel, entered 181$, but was too late
Also FORGOT about once sent from the golden hall picture disc, went for only € 40,- wanted to bid € 51

Anyone wants to sell his/hers?

 

[haayema]

I mailed with someone from Metalblade about vinyls.
Turns out that toghether with the re-releases of the first four albums on CD, the LPs will be re-released as well.

A chance for everybody to get his vinyl collection complete! (allthough I'd still prefer 1st presses!).

 

[rouw316]

FUCKING AWESOME

Time to save once again
