As there's no proper info about Falkenbach releases centered in one place I guess it'd be useful to post it here.
As for vinyl releases, here're the photos from my personal collection (a complete discography) with complete pressing info.
Here we go:
_________________
All in all there're 19 versions and a total number of copies is around 8500 only.
Let's take a close up look:
"...En Their Medh Riki Fara..."
First press (1996) by No Colours on black wax in gorgerous sturdy gatefold with inserts. Limited to 500 copies, all are sold out for years now. They're rarely seen on eBay in great shape and cost around 80-100 bucks, sometimes even more. So far it's the most sought-after Falkenbach release and surely a piece of black/viking/whatever history.
Picture Disc first press, limited to 500 handnumbered copies, sold out. So far it's the only Falkenbach PicLP. Again, hardly on eBay in mint condition and usually priced for 70 bucks or so.
These are second press (2012) issues by No Colours, come unsealed. Swirl amber and clear are limited to 100 copies each. There's no info about black wax's limitations though I guess there're no more than usual 1000 copies available. Swirl is sold out, clear and black are still available (I guess). All of these have the same sleeve and insert, the only difference is in their colours.
"...Magni Blandinn Ok Megintiri..."
First and only pressing (2002) by Scaldic Art on black wax. Limited to 1000 handnumbered copies and long sold out. Hardly on eBay and price is around 50-70 bucks. This one surely deserves to be rereleased in gatefold with a full sized artwork inside.
"...Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty..."
First press (2003) by Napalm. Limited to 1000 copies on 180 gr. heavy vinyl. Long sold out as well. eBay common price is approximately 40 bucks.
Second press (2011) by Hammerheart: clear is limited to 100 copies, gold wax - to 400. Both are on 180 gr. heavy vinyl and come in gatefold. Not sure whether they're still available or not though easily can be found on eBay for a moderate price. Again, the only difference between'em is the colour .
"Heralding - The Fireblade"
First press (2006) by No Colours. Clear is limited to 300 copies. Black wax is limited to 700 copies. Both come in gatefold sleeves and sold out. Anyway, they can be seen on eBay quite often. Common eBay price is 30-40 bucks. Clear one is sometimes priced a little bit higher. Same sleeve, different colours.
Second press (2011) by Hammerheart. Clear one is limited to 100 copies. Gold wax is limited to 400 copies. Both are on 180 gr. heavy vinyl and come in unsealed gatefold sleeves. Not sure about availability, but they're always on eBay.
"Tiurida"
First press (2011) by Napalm on 180 gr. heavy vinyl in sturdy gatefold. Gold wax is limited to 100 and sold out a couple of weeks before official release. Black one is limited to 400 copies. White wax is Nuclear Blast's special mailorder version, released AFAIR some weeks later (so you may consider it as a second press) and limited to 250 copies. All are sold out, however appear on eBay for +- 60 bucks. The white one has a small sticker on lower right back with an info about a colour. Mine gold and white are still sealed so sorry for no inside pictures. Also, first orders of gold and black came with a promo poster which I'm too lazy to find now for shooting
. Anyway they don't have to be considered as a part of a package, I guess.
"Eweroun"
One-off press (2013) on Prophecy. Single-sided etched 7" (seems to be on heavy vinyl, around 70 gr. or so), comes unsealed from label.
"Asa"
First press (2013) on Prophecy. There're black and gold versions on 180 gr. heavy vinyl in gatefold sleeve with poster, 500 copies of each. The black one was initial pressing, gold one appeared in Prophecy shop little bit later. I'll post their pictures as soon as I'll get LPs from Prophecy. Maybe also write matrix info for each version.
I've got to say that Falkenbach on vinyl is seen as quite collectable, though, of course, not as much as first issues of Burzum, Satyricon or Mayhem.
______________
Though not part of official discography but anyway with a sort of interest for collectors: I have no info about test pressings except for "Heralding" and "Ok Nefna" Hammerheart rereleases (each set of them is about 10 copies only, I have both of them and maybe shoot'em later) and dunno if they still exist. Never saw them for sale as well. Maybe Vratyas could shed some light on'em or even post some photos as he should own some of them. I have completely no info about vinyl promos as well though they may exist as I've seen "Heralding - The Fireblade" CD promo. If someone owns'em, please post the info and photos here. And yes, if you're gonna sale'em, let me know via pm.
As I've no CD player for years now, I've no proper info about CD releases. I know some, but it's not structured and I personally own nothing except for sealed "Tiurida" deluxe box. It'd be fun if someone here'll post a detailed info with photos.
P.S: a question to Vratyas: is it you who actually holds the masters of official releases or they're in labels' hands?
