This is a fucking cool box set.
I managed to get one of the ones on silver black blend editions (only 300
copies) and the box includes a slipmat for your turntable with the Candlemass
skull, large concert poster from a gig in Uppsala
Sweden ,
12 page LP sized booklet plus the 7 records I list below!
LP 1: Live Jonkoping
5/9 1987 (First gig ever and decent sound quality and Messiah is only
developing his voice as well).
LP 2: Live Buckley Tivoli 17/11 1988 (I collected old Candlemass bootlegs in the old
days but never had this concert of the Buckley Tivoli show from 1988. One year
later the band are really tighter, and more powerful and some rarely played
songs on this double vinyl set. It is a soundboard recording and the vocals are
too loud but other than that the sound is good)
LP 3: Live Buckley Tivoli
17/11 1988
LP 4: White Album Demos 2003-2004
LP 5: White Album Demos 2003-2004/Live 1990
LP 6: King Of The Grey Island Demos 2006 (vocals Mats Leven)
Studio outtakes except nr 7... M.L. home demo
LP 7: Misc Demos 1992 - 2008
The demos are
not all the interesting unless you focus on the vocals and singing as your
favourite thing about Candlemass as musically the demo songs are very close to
the final versions, even down to the guitar solos. A very high class set from
High Rollers, a label that really knows how to make records. Rumor has it that
Candlemass will only make one more record and call it a day. We will see. One
of the greatest Swedish bands ever.
