Yeah I know about the versions you posted, seen photos before. Since they are kind of ugly compared to the killer original I never got too interested in trying to get one. Now a black vinyl version, that would really interest me.

I have that "Satan's Arrow Strikes" with the dragon cover but not the other paste on cover. I also have an original Paralex t-shirt and 2 paralex gig posters as well as an extra "dragon" sticker.
Killer stuff thanks Mario!

Artwork on both stickers says "Satan's arrow strikes" which was one of the tracks from the same "white lightning" 5-trx session...
I guess the band saved some money printing more vinyls than picture sleeves, so packaged some in such home-made bags :D

Anyone heard of a swedish hard rock/heavy metal band called AMPLIFIER? My cousin dated the bass player in the 80's, and I got the only(?) original demo of theirs directly from him on christmas eve 1989.

I can't find any info on them on Metal archives. I would like to know what that demo is worth.

I stopped aggressively collecting Russian stuff but I'm still interested in a few albums I'm missing, especially Холостой Выстрел.

Thanks dudes... First Aid also have a 7" EP on Melodiya! Which I think is cool because there really aren't a lot of metal 7"s from the USSR.

I have an album by Joker! I didn't include it because I think it's more radio rock than metal. I could make a rock pic with all my Alisa, DDT, KINO etc vinyl...

Radio rock? I guess you have their first then, I have their second and that is more speed metal oriented.
Do you also perhaps have an LP by the band Radio-Rok? Just for a pun when posting a radio rock collage :P

haha no...

the Joker I have is the 1988/89 "Gruppa Seni Son") (alot of these Russian records have double dates "recorded"/"released"). Not very metal. A slower Bon Jovi with some synthesizer/keyboard action maybe?

I got in touch with an old danish dude who was a friend of Witch Cross back in the day. When they released the single back in 83, the guitar player handed over the shirt and this single, signed and dedicated to the guy as a gift. I asked him if I could buy the stuff off him, but he didn't wanna sell. After 3 months of chatting (nagging.. ha ha) he accepted to sell. ME VERY HAPPY!
