How to tell AADAP versions apart?

[kernbeisser]

Hi,

I recently came across the three Angels and Daemons at Play CD-EPs second hand, and I am a bit curious as to whether these are the original limited-to-500-copies EPs, or the 3-CD box with the box missing. Can anyone help me out (I have never actually seen the 3-CD box, so I wouldn't know about obvious differences)? At least, they are labelled Sony/Colombia, I guess that rules the 3-CD box on Stickman out.

Oh, and Happy New Year everyone.

As far I know there is no difference between the 3 EPs sold as separate releases and the 3-CD box, except release dates and the missing box of course.

This issue was a bit boring with the release of the box, 3 weeks of hard work hunting for the 3 EPs was in some way meaningless.

I seems to recall that it was possible to order the *empty* box for a while.

the listing on dicogs.com should help to distinguish different versions of aadap.

Thanks, mikke, that satisfies my curiosity. I can imagine the frustration when the box was released..

Here's a picture of the AADAP box

My box says Stickman (like on knoot's picture), but the EPs are labeled Colombia/Sony Music.

Fun fact: Picked it up on eBay for $30 a couple a months back. I would have expected it to hit a higher price.

It certainly would have hit a higher price – if I had been on to it :wink:

Did the standalone EPs also come in cardboard covers instead of the usual plastic box?

Yes.
