Limited Edition / 1st Press Guide

[~angel*ayumi~]

I decided to start this guide, because of PinkShinigami´s request of a complete guide.
I think together we can get a pretty good and complete guide^^

My Story

this is pretty kewl, thx!!

[Blasterion]

It's really neat all that stuff here.
I hope you can find everything ^^

[ren0210989]

wow, thank you for making this. it's VERY interesting

can't wait to see the rest of it =D

[Melrose]

Thanks!

But I dont understand this sentence, maybe you can do a legenda:

(that´s why OV is black, OVs often have JV 1st press bonus as regual edition)

What's an OV and JV and regual?

Also, where's Secret?

And last question, I don't get the multiple covers. For A BEST, for example. A BEST has 6 CDs? Or is the cover selected randomly from one of the 6? Same goes for A BALLADS, etc.

[astameth]

ov: overseas (avex asia/taiwan) version, jv: Japan version.

[Raleigh]

Wow this is a great thread for a collector. Thank you for your hard work!

[kirei_ayumi]

lol so that explains the long obi I have for I am... and I didn't know it was first press!
thanks for the info

[RikkuChii]

Thanks! This is a good idea.

[KarenPang]

this's a neat thread & it should deserved a sticky

[NintendoHTF1242]

You should update it with Free & Easy and No way to say's first presses (Ayu on the CD for Free & Easy, Snowflake on the back of the CD Case for No way to say)

and then BLUE BIRD and Secret's first press were just posters.

[dreamland2.0]

Thanks this is really helpful!!

[neuteka]

Thank you! It is nice to know what the first press looks like

[TeeMo]

Umm, you got the first press for A BEST 2 -WHITE- wrong. The picture that you posted was actually the Second Pressing.
