Blackmore’s Night - The Beginning box set

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. Both videos were previously out on VHS and now will be available on the DVD for the first time.

    Does 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.

    I 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!

    I 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!!!

    I meant to say that I have the VHS by the fanclub.
    Dont have a dvd version, although it probably circulates in pirate format.

    It’s worthy buying because of DVD’s.

    I’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.
