I received on ebay, yesterday, a real rarity, a Korean cd issue of Triumvirat's Old Loves Die Hard. Put out by South Korea's now defunkt "Si Wan Records", the album is remastered differently from the famous 2002 remaster that is more promulgated and known to people. Also, in the only case on cd, ever, the cover booklet features the North American lp cover with the mouse underneath a magnifying glass.
                    I have listened to the whole thing, and the remastering and remixing is quite faithful to the original analogue recording, the cd issue is probably AAD, instead of ADD. 
                               In this series for Triumvirat, the only other album done for cd was A La Carte, which I do have, but both are as rare as sin, let me tell you!
         Below is the Old Loves Die Hard cd...

Great looking CD. I recently picked up an LP of "Spartacus," at a record shop in Quebec Canada. Absolutely great album. Triumvirat is criminally underrated outside this website dude.

Congrats on your recent purchase! I got an lp copy of Spartacus about a month ago from an ebay seller from Ontario to augment my various cd pressings of the record. Spartacus is so endearing! And, yes, criminally underrated is the exact term applicable to Triumvirat. I try to do what I can to focus folks on this band.

My only one missing is A la Carte, but I still have my OG mint condition LP.

These are all my original CD releases.

These are the only Triumvirat albums I don't have on CD.

 I have never heard either of them. Are they as bad as all the reviews I have read say? Smile

You know, though not progressive rock, A La Carte is actually a nice pop rock effort that I sometimes get in the mood for; I would say it has something going for it in that vein; but Russian Roulette, I honestly have tried to get to grips with it, I used to be somewhat sympathetic to it, but in the final analysis, it is a stinker. It has no lasting redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I will give A La Carte a listen. Thumbs Up

I think the artwork on 'Russian Roulette' tells me all I need to know! Confused

Quote a real rarity,
Shame it's so rare. I wish I could just casually open up YT and listen to that different mix.

Cool find! I think a lot of the Si-Wan releases are hard to find these days. Oddly enough I visited a store in the late 1990s in Toronto, Canada, called Black Planet. Apparently Si-Wan used that store as their North American distribution center for several years. I didn't know it at the time. Wish I had because I could've looked deeper into what they had from Si-Wan.

I got these in TO sometime in the early-mid 90's. My only Si-Wan releases. Maybe it was the same store?

That's an amazing collection!!! Does Old Loves Die Hard have a different cover here? I have glasses on my I can't spot it. Which cover is it?

I certainly don't recognize the one in the upper RH corner, row 1, with the 'rabbit?" on the cover or the the LH one on row 2. Then the middle ones on row 3 and 5 look like the back cover of one that, again, I don't really recognize.

  JD, I really love Triade. I have seen the cover for the one on the left; but never heard it; is it jazz rock from the seventies?
