The Velvet Box
Blackmore’s Night is releasing a box set titled The Beginning containing their first two albums and two live DVDs — Live In Germany 1997-1998 and Under A Violet Moon — Castle Tour 2000, packaged in a velvet box.

Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
a box of cheese ball and another rip off !

October 17th, 2012 at 22:05A piece of crap wrapped in paper! Stay clear!!
October 18th, 2012 at 05:40Does seem yet another poorly devised product from Blackmore’s Night following on from the disappointingly heavily edited A Knight in York DVD and CD. Why contain the first two albums when most fans probably have them? and why not just release separate DVDs? definitely another cash in and I bet it will cost a fortune too!! I like the ‘purple’ cover..I wonder if its a ‘deep purple’ haha sorry.
October 18th, 2012 at 07:11I think that´s a good one. A nice gift (velvet!) for someone Special. Although it would make sense to have a separate double DVD available, too. Never saw that “Live In Germany” thing, so I just have to buy this anyway. Cheers!
October 18th, 2012 at 10:17I m interested in the DVd’s.
I went to Germany to see 2 shows way back.
I wonder if what will be included partially comes from the dvd way back released by the German fanclub. I have it on DVD. Nice one but the sound was very weak.
I also bought the Japanese versions of the 2 first cd’s. That was around 45 E each.
I still dont have a problem with them.
So…….
I ll probably wait and download the stuff on YT.
Excuse me!!!
October 18th, 2012 at 12:15I meant to say that I have the VHS by the fanclub.
October 18th, 2012 at 12:16Dont have a dvd version, although it probably circulates in pirate format.
both albums are really good..But that’s enough!
October 18th, 2012 at 12:52@3 ahahaha!!!
October 18th, 2012 at 15:01Sounds like his mother-in-law’s usual crap to raise some money.
October 18th, 2012 at 18:26It’s worthy buying because of DVD’s.
October 19th, 2012 at 18:34I’m looking forward to this release, as the VHS videos were not readily available in Canada back then. I’m glad it’s getting released on DVD.
