I have been praising this label for years, but today they blew me away again. I've always tried to pick up their limited editions, usually limited to 4,000 worldwide. The booklets (on any version) most always have lyrics, liner notes about every song, and a piece called
The Story So Far..., where it gives short rundown of the band's history. Sometimes there's a foreword, a sticker, a poster, and other nice little extras. There's always bonus tracks, sometimes on a second CD, and they included DVDs quite often.
With that said, the limited version of Stardawn by Domain is just ridiculous. I bought it tonight and it comes as such:
Housed in a deluxe 5-panel digipack
2 CDs: Stardawn and The Essence of Glory (a 16-track Best Of disc)
1 DVD: Seven Days In Korea - Live 2005 (7 live tracks, 2 TV performances, an interview, and slideshow)
26-page Stardawn booklet (incl. lyrics, foreword, liner notes, and
The Story So Far...)
12-page Seven Days In Korea/The Essence of Glory booklet
Simply brilliant. And at just $18.99, the price is killer! This was Domain's 20th Anniversary release, so the packaging celebrates this, but it's not much more than standard LMP releases. Galloglass's Heavenseeker album, for instance, has 2 bonus tracks, a bonus live DVD with extra footage and features, a sticker, a poster, a 22-page booklet with all the extras I mentioned above, and it's housed in a nice 4-panel digipack. And that's a regular release for LMPs limited editions.
Anyway, just thought I'd praise this outstanding label and encourage everyone to support them!
