This limited edition of The Open Door comes with a jewel case wrapped in a glossy card sleeve cover. The card sleeve cover has the Evanescence name and track listings written in Taiwanese Mandarin along with English. On both the card sleeve cover and the CD line notes the upper right side of the vine logo in white (instead of being faded into the background) — this seems to represent Special or Promo Editions of the CD. The CD jewel case itself has the Sony/BMG logo embossed on the front and back. Also included is a black and white band poster with a band biography on the opposite side along with a small insert with what is believed to be codes to text messages to receive the songs as ringtones.

Along with the fact that the release is in a jewel case, the artwork is slightly different. The back of the liner notes has the Evanescence symbol revised vine logo with a moth above it. The tray insert is also different from other editions. It contains the sun logo along with the scarab beetle.

Taiwan Limited Edition Release

Status: Out of Print
Cat.no: 88697-001740-2
Label: Wind-Up/SonyBMG

This limited edition of The Open Door comes with a jewel case wrapped in a glossy card sleeve cover. The card sleeve cover has the Evanescence name and track listings written in Taiwanese Mandarin along with English. On both the card sleeve cover and the CD line notes the upper right side of the vine logo in white (instead of being faded into the background) — this seems to represent Special or Promo Editions of the CD. The CD jewel case itself has the Sony/BMG logo embossed on the front and back. Also included is a black and white band poster with a band biography on the opposite side along with a small insert with what is believed to be codes to text messages to receive the songs as ringtones.

Along with the fact that the release is in a jewel case, the artwork is slightly different. The back of the liner notes has the Evanescence symbol revised vine logo with a moth above it. The tray insert is also different from other editions. It contains the sun logo along with the scarab beetle.

This also came with a limited edition, region free DVD, that contains all the Evanescence music videos (Call Me When You’re Sober, Bring Me To Life, Going Under, My Immortal, and Everybody’s Fool). The DVD is black screened in a thin plastic case with a single page insert. The DVD is sealed separately from the album, however does not have a catalog number.

Promotional Releases

A promotional recording, or promo, is a recording issued on Vinyl, 8-track, Cassette, CD, MP3, VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray and distributed free in order to promote a commercial recording. Promos are usually sent out to music radio and television stations, music journalists and reviewers, in advance of the official release date so that their reviews will appear in the current publications, and DJs. They are often distributed in plain white packaging, without the text or artwork that appears on the commercial version. Promos are distributed to expose a new product or release to those who are in a position to market it and entice the general public to purchase it. Because promos are produced in smaller quantity than releases made available to the general public, they are considered valuable collector's items. Contrary to popular belief, it is not illegal to sell promotional recordings, despite the recording industry's insistence that promos may not be sold, given away or even discarded[1].
