Discogs states that the ONLY yellow release was a Swedish release but with songs, labels and lyric sheet in English. I've got a yellow vinyl with everyrthing in Swedish, which isn't listed at all on Discogs. And there are LOADS of different coloured vinyl versions of this. Anyone any the wiser? (I have contacted the seller, waiting for reply) There's a yellow, numbered version on Discogs you dimwit, Ltd Ed of 300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely the Swedish version would have the lyrics etc in Swedish. Can’t recall the versions they released it with but I got the cd version with both in. Yes, the yellow one was released in English, but mine isn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 30, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 30, 2020 @rjw63It's probably just a mislabeled copy then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that 300 is in English when you look at the Discog photos... Erm like @bickster says, probably mislabelled. Knowing some Opeth fans, there will be someone who has meticulously updated Discogs with every vinyl type (and probably got 1 of each as well). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted May 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2020 Dool - Summerland Dool are apparently a 'dark rock' band. A little bit metal but not really, a little bit classic rock but not really. Sort of like a less bombastic version of Ghost. Here is the opening track: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusr Posted June 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2020 So it was my birthday last week and has now become somewhat of a tradition, my OH raids my wish lists to buy me CDs/vinyls from. Works great as I get what I want and she just tends to go on cool covers. Anyway one of them was this:- Now I've got their "heavy" album Infest the Rats Nest which was pretty cool, but this is completely different and works a treat as well. Unfortunately they have a rather extensive back catalogue to to explore... my wallet will hate me... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly open minded so don’t want to write something off based on a name or a sleeve. I listened to the title track and Cyboogie. I now have it on order from Amazon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Never heard of them before last night but I have had this on repeat since then . I Loved every track on first listen which is rare. 10 x 3 minutes of sunshine IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a few of their albums, my recommendation would be to start with Float Along - Fill Your Lungs / Oddments. The reissued version is both these albums. Thats the full on psyche experience, the move onto Papier Mache Dream Balloon for something much lighter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following this I started off with their 2017 collection of 5 albums and "I'm in Your Mind Fuzz". Enjoyed the psych rock of Mind Fuzz and the concept of the others, incredible to release 5 albums in a year and all pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
