Helloween: packaging question for this release...

Does anyone on here have this 2 in 1:



Please let me know whether each album comes with its own jewel case and complete artwork.

They almost never do. For a collector of those band's (the ones found on 2 in 1 CDs) albums it's not something you'd want. However, for a casual fan they are a good way to get multiple albums without paying the price for 2 albums.

Actually, I find a lot of 2-in-1s are increasingly just the two albums in separate jewel cases, with all the liner notes etc., just banded together by a communal slipcase. For instance, I think all the Century Media ones are done like that. Those are absolutely perfect, really. As for the Helloween one, I have no clue I'm afraid.

My Axel Rudi Pell 2 in 1 (Eternal Prisoner/Between The Walls) was like that but the Mercyful Fate, Annihilator, and W.A.S.P. ones where not.

Isn't this a box set? Or am I thinking of something else. Either way I believe its 2 seperate cds especially if its the box set. I don't own it, surprisingly

I think it is one cd with both albums on it. It is normally how the 2 for 1 are packaged.

Unlikely, both albums are around the hour mark. I don't think they'd fit on one CD. Pretty sure it's the box-set / slipcase scenario.

I think he means 2 CDs, one case. As I said, most of the ones I have are that way.

It's two discs in one case with shrunk artwork, just like the W.A.S.P. doubles

Ahhh, right. I get you. That's quite likely, yeah.

I have the manowar 2 in 1.

Just two cds in one very cheap case.

I usually avoid such combinations, unless it's for a band i'm not really into.
