Title: Absinthe
Reason for update: Second copy with different book page!
Amazing as it seems, the last time we had a look at the split B-Machina/Kreuzer CD release "Absinthe" was almost exactly 9 years and 1 week ago.
Where on earth has that time gone?!
Anyway, as you may recall from the days when Nazgul posted little updates like this, occasionally duplicate copies of things find their way into the Castle and occasionally these have subtle differences from the original release covered on the blog.
Such is the case today, with this limited-to-50 copies release. Each copy came wrapped in a page from "Das Dichterische Werk" by Georg Trakl, Nazgul's first version bearing the actual book cover as its wraparound.
This second copy, recently acquired, sports page 49/50, which presumably puts it about half way through the limited run of CD's (with two pages per sheet per CD, it would make this copy circa #26 if you allow for the cover not being a numbered page, so CD #2 had pages 1/2 etc.)
You can see some discolouration on the page from where sunlight has bleached the paper as it sits on the spine.
Strangely apposite that in a limited edition of 50 copies, this should bear page 50.
Only another 40-something copies to buy now, to put the book back together again....
