Thank you once again Moony for supplying more information! Now I know what it is called! I have two Japanese CD's: Edguy's Vain Glory Opera and Children Of Bodom's Tokyo Warhearts. Both of them had the OBI strip and both have paragraph's in Japanese. I did not get two booklets, but the booklets are very thick and do contain a lot more than just lyrics and pictures, with biography's and whatnot like you said. At least I assume the paragraphs are biographies. Thanks once again!
Simply because, if an albums would have the same amount of tracks all over the world no japanese label would ever license it because the people over there would buy the cheaper imported one. The downside on that is that only a few people would ever get their hands on the album. Licensing = good distribution
I'll try to get the jap-version when it's out...shouldn't be too hard - I mean...THREE bonus-tracks...it's definitely worth the extra wait & money. BTW: Will the video be on the CDs as well?
No, we have done a video to the track "Inflict" but we'll make it available through our site hopefully soon
nice...then we'll have at least one song from PIB that we fans can listen to ...well together with the demo-versions of Coming Home and Seven Long Years it makes a total of 3 whole songs
Seven Long Years isn't on the final tracklist...did it not make the cut, or does it appear in a different form on the completed album?
Understandable. But is the Japanese market really so big that they get to delay the album for the rest of us? I mean, how many units do you expect to sell by delaying the album until December, compared to releasing the US/European version in the autumn as originally planned?
We'll at least double the amount of sold records by getting it licensed in Japan. The more albums sold, the bigger the chance to get the opportunity to do tours, to get on the road and play live is what counts imho, that's the fun part in playing music...at least for me.
I agree with Ronnie! Then there's the recordlable part... I mean they're there to sell albums and if they can sell additional copies the smaller their loss or the bigger their profit will be...
Tja Mannen!!! We haven't got a releasedate yet but hoping to get one very soon... We'll let you know!
Wow... I'm so totally psyched about this album. AWD depraved was one of my favorite albums of the year, and what I've heard of the samples for "Pristine In Bondage"... words can not express my anticipation for what will be a truely phenominal release!
Thanks Ronnie! And liked is hardly the term I'd use... I sat there listening to "Inflict" at least 25-30 times in a row!
