Opeth - Orchid (1995) (Double Picture Disc - 2006 release)
I thought we'd start with the first album from my all-time favourite band, Opeth.
This is a 2006 double picture disc release of Opeth's first album "Orchid", on Candlelight Records. It is limited to 2000 copies worldwide and is currently a rather sought-after piece of wax. "Orchid" is a great foray into progressive death metal with an epic twist.
Opeth have gained in stature since signing to Roadrunner Records for their 2006 release "Ghost Reveries", thus their earlier material has become fairly scarce of late! Lucky I got in early! Many thanks are due to my lovely partner in crime, Dom, for her gift of this record!
Back on Black re-issued this on a limited edition 180g vinyl run in 2008. I am still hunting one down.
