Not too long ago, I was relaxing at home when I've heard a door ring.
It was the mailman, who gave me a strange looking package with a lot of stamps. Really a lot! Just look at this:
20 mail stamps!? I don't think I remember seeing 20 stamps in the same package... ever. At this point, I had no clue of what this was... nor why I had received it.
I only knew this came from Moscow, Russia... and the name and address were correct. (Both are covered in the above photo by my phone, for privacy reasons.)
Upon opening it... I was even more confused. What a big package, very well packed and with lots of duct tape:
After removing all of that duct tape, I've finally saw what it was: Arkona's Double DVD Edition of "10 лет во Славу" (10 Years of Glory)
I had ordered this at www.discogs.com and I wasn't expecting it to arrive so quickly. I thought I would have to wait 2 months, like when I buy stuff from China!
This was a pleasant surprise. It was my first buy at this site and I'll probably use it again. The prices for lesser known albums in www.discogs.com are usually a lot better than in any other site such as Amazon or Ebay.
Great album, great packaging, great artwork! I love it when bands go the extra mile to do something nice like this:
This is a full-length live-album, published on 2 DVDs, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the band and it was recorded live in 2012, at the Concert Hall in Moscow.
36 songs... 3 hours of concert! What a performance!!! 😈
Yes, you can watch the whole show in YouTube...
.... but I like to own this kind of special editions, so I bought it anyway! 🍺
