Quinlan Road presents a limited edition box set for fans looking to complete their Loreena McKennitt collections and as a primer for those listeners who are Loreena curious and seeking an attractively priced item with which to start their own journeys into her catalogue.
Presented at a budget price, The Journey Begins brings together Loreena’s first three major studio recordings Elemental, Parallel Dreams and The Visit in a beautifully designed collector’s box with the added bonus of a six song disc of live recordings and rarities.
These three CDs map the first leg of Loreena’s creative journey from folk balladeer and interpreter of traditional material into the creator of multi-platinum pan-cultural masterpieces that have followed the Celtic Diaspora through the ages, across Europe into North Africa, Asia and beyond. Many of the songs have since become fan favourites and staples of her legendary concert performances.
Bonus CD includes: "Caravanserai" Live, "The Bonny Swans" Live, "The Highwayman Live", "The Mummers' Dance" Single Remix, and "Dante's Prayer" Spanish-language version
Bombadil, I leave you a link of the amazon.com page about the package.The bonus disc is comprised with 6 tracks, I suppose they are the same on TJB released in June, that one with the brown box. Anyway, it is even in the section shopping of this website. Just seen.
Here is an image of the red cover. The package is different from the previous ones on sale on her website, both the B&N exclusive sold last year and the package sold this year on tour and in stores. Who knows where has this one been released?
Have you seen, folks, a new 'The Journey Begins' package, sold on the internet? I report the paragraph about it:
4 CD set featuring 3 CDs plus 6 track bonus rarities disc packaged in a collector's style deluxe linen cloth box.Verve Records and Loreena Mckennitt's company Quinlan Road present a limited edition box set for serious fans which also serves as a primer for listeners seeking an attractively priced item with which to start their own journey into Loreena's catalogue. I have the doubt it is just on American shelves!!

Excellent packaging The Journey Begins 2008 Special Edition. The song The Dante´s Player Spanish-language version is very nice. Congratulation LM!, I hope that you do more versions in Spanish of your songs!

I bought the set in the last concert in Madrid...and it is fantastic. I love the bonus disc. Specially the Dante´s prayers Spanish version. Thanks to Loreena for this beautiful version in Spanish. It is wonderful.
Hello freesoul. The bonus cd is not available as a standalone cd at this time. If by chance it becomes available, you will certainly read about it here.
Quite warm in Hannover the other day, but not too bad here in Erfurt tonight. Was raining earlier in the day, but there was a nice little sunset at intermission tonight.
I'd like to know if there is a manner to get the bonus disc only. I've never heard the Spanish version of Dante's Prayer and I'm curious. Just to know...
Anyway...satisfied with European climate, Mark? Is it warm enough in Germany? Here, Italy is an oven !!
