Jens Bogren remastered it with guidance from Mikael Åkerfeldt, and Miles Showell cut it at half speed at Abbey Road Studios. Candlelight's notes give the vinyl weight as 140 grams and say Dan Capp restored the artwork to the design the band originally intended. The records come in a gatefold jacket with an obi strip, and the front sticker names the color as Gold under catalog number CANDLE333124.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seven songs of the original album run across four sides. \"In Mist She Was Standing\", just over 14 minutes and the longest piece on the record, has side A to itself. \"Into the Frost of Winter\", the 1992 rehearsal recording added to the 2000 CD reissue, is not part of this edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpeth recorded \u003cem\u003eOrchid\u003c\/em\u003e in March 1994 at the old Unisound studio in Finspång, Sweden. Dan Swanö engineered the sessions and produced and mixed the album with the band. The lineup was Åkerfeldt on vocals and guitar, Peter Lindgren on guitar, Anders Nordin on drums and Johan De Farfalla, who came in as a session bassist and then joined full time. Nordin wrote and played the piano piece \"Silhouette\", recorded hours before the band left the studio, and the acoustic \"Requiem\" was redone in Stockholm with Pontus Norgren as co-producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band never made a demo. According to Katatonia's Anders Nyström, Candlelight founder Lee Barrett took notice after Emperor's Samoth put a few seconds of \"The Apostle in Triumph\" on a tape of unsigned bands, and Barrett offered Opeth an album. Candlelight released \u003cem\u003eOrchid\u003c\/em\u003e in Europe in 1995, and Century Black issued it in the US in 1997. The orchid on the cover was ordered from the Netherlands, and Torbjörn Ekebacke handled the photography and layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eIn Mist She Was Standing\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder the Weeping Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForest of October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Twilight Is My Robe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequiem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Apostle in Triumph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen Opeth titles at Evergreen Vinyl, this one included: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-morningrise-silver-vinyl\"\u003eMorningrise\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-my-arms-your-hearse-transparent-blue-vinyl\"\u003eMy Arms, Your Hearse\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-still-life-clear-vinyl\"\u003eStill Life\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-blackwater-park-white-black-smokey-vinyl\"\u003eBlackwater Park\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-deliverance-crystal-clear-vinyl\"\u003eDeliverance\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-damnation-black-vinyl-20th-anniversary\"\u003eDamnation\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-ghost-reveries-black-vinyl\"\u003eGhost Reveries\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-the-roundhouse-tapes-clear-vinyl\"\u003eThe Roundhouse Tapes\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opeth-pale-communion-metal-matters\"\u003ePale Communion\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602448333124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candlelight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.2.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Candlelight","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67505532895390,"sku":"EVP-86F6B356-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/12CANLP33312__35004.1778260238.jpg?v=1791331888","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/opeth-orchid-gold-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
