Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A limited editon of "Įgetis byrjun", released in Germany only (?), contains a bonus-CD with two live-Tracks (Nyja lagid and Syndir Guds). See picture.
There“s also another limited edition CD, coming with a booklet that contains full lyrics (see picture).

1999 Smekkleysa edition:
This was a limited edition of a couple or few thousand
that had cardboard sleeves hand-assembled by the band.
On a number of them, the glue from the sleeve leaked
onto the cd and rendered them unplayable and they had
to be returned. The cardboard case itself is larger
than the european and american cardboard (not digipak)
cases and the booklet has more extensive liner notes
and more pages. (Thanks to Richard Tonge for this information!)

At the end of 2003, a wrong pressing of Įgaetis byrjun was sold in Germany (and maybe in other countries, too?).
Digipack and booklet are the same as on the normal version, but the CD, which has the number 946.0001.020, not 946.0001.20 like the normal version, contains the album "Boire" by Christophe Miossec, a french composer - and not Įgaetis byrjun!
