Origin
Album released on November 4th, 2000 in Little Rock. Many different Origins exist, but there’s only one true tracklisting. Only 2500 real copies were made. Origin sold out in February 2003. Real and fake copies are bought on EBay for upwards of $300. Amy Lee does not consider this an album, but rather a collection of demos that they "dressed up" to send to different major labels.

Fake "Re-Release"
In 2003, a "re-release" of Origin came out supposedly under the label 'Epic'. It contained most of the tracks from the real Origin, however with some tracks, different versions were used. In the case of Whisper and My Immortal, the Fallen album version was used.
The audio portion of the CD was very poorly produced, and in most cases, the songs were either corrupted or of low quality (as if downloaded as an MP3 and then burned on the CD). This bootleg has very elaborate and professional looking artwork, with a silkscreened, factory pressed CD and a fold out booklet with a small biography (which mostly rambles on about the 'Christian band' controversy).
The CD contained 'Bonus Tracks' such as Missing (which was very corrupted and of extremely low quality), the Nirvanna cover 'Heart Shaped Box', and a [rather bad] techno remix of Bring Me to Life.
