Limited and first press editions

PinkShinigami · #1 12th February 2009, 02:33 PM

Gaah. The most of my activity in this forum is questions, feeling stupid >.<

Whatever. I have only just started thinking about all that limited edition - first press things.. And i really need help! I'm looking for a complete guide for it. I only know angel-ayu.de, but it doesn't help much.

Looking for something/Someone that can list all first press editions and limited editions, and explain what's special about this releases.

It's because i try to do a complete discography (Something i haven't ever seen, so i want it to be real!)

Help, please?

Hi everyone. Were the first press items before Mirrorcle World just a poster?

If you want to, could you do it a bit more informative too?

I don't know if this is what you want but this site is really helpful. It lists her complete discography and gives all the editions that were released

I use Eneabba a lot

The problem is, it isn't really informative. It shows all the versions, but nothing about the difference, what versions are limited, and so.. An example, it does show appears as a noral single, nothing about it's limited.

Can somebody tell me, for her early albums, do the first press versions have longer obis than the regular versions? Is this the only difference?

Please could somebody tell me what albums have a first press?

First press + limited
; (miss)understood - comes with a photobook (CD only, off my day pb) / (CD+DVD, on my way pb)
; GUILTY - comes with photobook
; A COMPLETE ～ALL SINGLES～(3CD+DVD) - comes in a box and photobook
; A Best 2 -Black- / -White- - comes with slip case
; MY STORY [CD+DVD] - sleeve cover artwork randomly selected from 4 limited kinds
; A Ballads - does the 4 various booklet cover count as limited

? RAINBOW - Supposed to have some code to listen to a hidden online track (Not very sure as it could just be a Japan only thing)

I suppose so

, it's noted as 00 at the back of the album . You have a code & you can access her site at that time for a limited period

even if you have a 1st press copy of it now , the code wouldn't work anymore

I should add that A BEST's also counted as limited in the sense that 6 different covers were released with the A BEST slipcase

A complete list would be so nice. I'd look forward to it

I can help you with the album releases.

The first press of A BEST 2 -WHITE- / -BLACK- also came with a colored case. So if you got the first press of A BEST 2 -WHITE- you would get a white case, regular press is just a regular clear case.

Thanks for the information on albums everyone who answer

Does the first press version of Mirrorcle World CD + DVD come in an even longer vertical case than the vertical case you get with the reegular version of CD + DVD?

the 1st press of MW's CD + DVD is housed in a vertical long case

normal editions of it's a standard CD case

same thing goes for Days / GREEN too

I bought I am... sealed from eBay, and the seller said the first press has a longer obi. There is also a hidden track, though I am not sure if this is first press exclusive.

Does Guilty CD + DVD cone with a photobook, or is that CD only?

Blasterion · #20 17th February 2009, 07:28 PM

yes Guilty CD + DVD first press came with a photobook ^^
