Reviews
Limited to 1000 copies??? Have 1779 and 16 for sale. Something wrong...
Very nice presentation on the gatefold and the vinyl themselves, however i wish the demo track was labeled as such on the jacket because, my first spin through the album when that track arrives the quality is nowhere near as good production wise & it destroyed the ambience/flow of the album for me. So to anyone who gets this pressing just be aware that the final track is a demo even though it is not listed as such.
Really nice embossed cover and matching pink marble wax, the presentation is just fantastic!!! Bought this for about 25€ in my local store. No warps. No surface noise whatsoever, making the silent parts exceptional playing at really high volume. Oh man that Under the Weeping Moon passage.... Fantastic clear sound and mastering. Seems you can't go wrong with most Opeth modern represses.
Not my favorite album, but man are the record and packaging beautiful. Sounds great too! Mine copy wasn't warped and had no surface noise.

DR7 -4.00 dB -12.75 dB 6:17 08-Into The Frost Of Winter- 2 sets of copies through Amazon, both with pretty bad warping. Not ordering a 3rd. Sigh.
- Side B and side D has so much noise, could sounds better.
I listened only to the side A, sound is just great! I could not suppose that, but it is. Super Happy about purchase.- Limited to 500 copies???? have 456 + 81 for sale = 537..Something is wrong!!
- Same stampers as https://www.discogs.com/Opeth-Orchid/release/9549082
Will compare this to my displeased copy. The packaging is perfect and how it should have been done originally. 
My copy sounds fantastic, no surface noise whatsoever. Apart from the standard black inner sleeves, the packaging is done with lots of love, the embossed flower is a nice detail and the dull black cover looks great. The marbled pink vinyl looks beautiful. Glad I waited until now to get this album on vinyl.
