Rainbow DVDA
CAROLS DVDA
CAROLS SACD

And since it's a collectors guide, u might wana include pre avex release?
Like NOTHING FROM NOTHING album and single, swimsuit special VHS.
And maybe edit on the complete live boxset as they wasn't meant to be released in 3DVD set. All 3 DVD set comes with a mail in form for the buyers to get the 4th DVD.

Nice listing!

You missed the A COMPLETE (3CD+DVD) Limited Edition with Box+Photobook, the regular version comes with just jewel case

Delirium-Zer0 · #7 1st September 2013, 04:18 PM

The pre-avex VHS is called "Scholar Nu! AYUMI HAMASAKI SPECIAL" and it comes in two versions, one 30-minute version and one 40-minute version. The cover art is different for the two versions, also.

You forgot H (Digipack version) and you messed up the BLUE BIRD editions : there is 1 CD-only version and 2 CD+DVD versions ("BLUE BIRD" and "Beautiful Fighters").

EDIT : I didn't see that you included H (Digipack version) in Re-issues category.

Hmm since you've organised it this way, u might need to reorganise the A single too.
The 1st gold plated A single was reissued when the single hit 1 million sales. And the 2.4k gold disc version was reissued when the single hit 1.5 millions sales. ^^

And LOVEppears only comes in 2 CD version. There's no CD only version.

Those are just issues of the A single rather than reissues, because the stock number is the same for all versions. The stock number for H actually changed.

Thanks for the thread as I have a crazy collector in me!

ExodusUK · #16 2nd September 2013, 05:22 PM

Might be worth adding A VISUAL MIX.

yes, H got a real re-release...
both gold versions of A were released before appears was released...
and the H (Limited Pack) was released after Voyage, just to reach the 1-million-mark ^^
