It's that one right?

On Ebay a used one costs about 15-20~ (dollars).
How many that has been pressed? I have no idea!!!

'bout the cover art:

The very first Night of the Stormrider cover art looked like this:


Ugly huh? Yeah that whats the guys on Century Media thought to! This image (if you can call it image) was sent to Century Media headquarters in Germany just one day before the deadline of the cover. But as I said before, they thought it was extremely ugly and they refused to print it.
So there only option was to call in Axel Hermann he had done a couple of other covers for CM, they gave him 1 night to get the cover ready! His first attempt was even worse than the "original" one. It became "The Flying Frog".
Bit since they knew that Axel had talent they gave him another shot... This time he made it better.
That's a little info about the Cover art of NotS


scan the entire cover and put it on here Smile

It doesn't look half bad. of course the finalized version is the best but i think that owning 1 of those would be cool too.

If you have The Flying Frog as cover, you probably have the Japan import...

It's written that the CDs was pressed in Germany... I'VE A CURSED RECORD.

Well i could be wrong Smile
I just thought that i heard that the Flying Frog was used as Japan Import...
If you're CD is made in germany then it's probably the original
