I recently got an email about this amazing-looking vinyl (which I really need to reply to - thanx for the reminder..) and it seems it's one hell of an obscurity. The band was from Argentina, the title is "En Vivo" ("Live") and supposedly only made in 10 (!) copies. I'm not sure what to think about that last bit of info, but I really would like to hear it.

Belcebú is obscure heavy/speed. Some parts remind me Retrosatan, but the Belcebú vocalist is better in my opinion.
I got the LP from the band. The record was also in the showcase of a record store in the center of the city, but they were asking 3000us$ for it!
Some months ago a guy from Germany that often comes to Argentina pay the 3000us$ and now it is in his hands. I don't know where the other copies are, and yes, only 10 were made.
For Baphometal #3 issue I have interviewed Belcebú so there you can find some more information.

How do you make 10 copies pressing? Unless you get the test pressing and cancel the order, but most pressing plants wont let you do that... it must be some sort of acetate, or perhaps it was a regular pressing of 500 but it was so abysmal the band only managed to sell 10 copies and burned the rest in utter frustration thus piquing the collector's insanityErnest Thesiger wrote:That's bizarre.

There are some bands that has pressed promo or personal copies of their recordings back then. Belcebú is one of then.
As I told there are other bands that has maked single or limited pressings. some I remember I have are Red Alert 3 unreleased 7'eps, Retrosatan 1 side radio 7'ep (a track from their demo), Stratus 7'ep from Bolivia and some Malaysian records that are pressed in 10, 50 or 100 copies only.
From Argentina there is another 10 copies record of a band from Rosario city called Kashat that was heavy/power from 1985, it sound like Bloke. That is the only Argentian metal record I don't have (yet!).
