Il 19 giugno 2020, i Mercyful Fate pubblicheranno le versioni in CD e LP degli album “The Beginning” e “Return of the Vampire” per Metal Blade Records.
Le edizioni in vinile sono caratterizzate da una copertina a bussola con un inserto e una scheda di download; i CD contengono un mini LP in formato CD con un piccolo poster pieghevole.
Il cantante dei Mercyful Fate King Diamond commenta:
Questi non sono remaster. Questi sono gli album come erano stati fatti in origine dai maestri della produzione originale. Essi conservano tutte le dinamiche originali che sono state catturate all’epoca. E’ molto emozionante presentarli ai fan così come sono stati originariamente pubblicati.
