The CD is harder to find than the MLP. If I find it I will let you know.
Is it that hard to find even as a major release on Polydor??
I would also like to get a hold of a copy of the "Thoughts" EP.

This band has a vocalist with one insanely over the top falsetto.

Yes, I don´t know how many copies was made but I think not much. The CD have 3 new songs after the release of the MLP, crap songs, BTW after the MLP I don´t like the new sound direction.

Yes, it´s true but the next records was crap, to much pantera, machine head an nu-metal influences.

I don't really have the crazy rarities that many here have shown. A lot of very nice stuff that you guys have, but I tried to grab a nice handful of records that I consider my top items. Many of these are sentimental favorites and some are rare, some not so rare.

My Mercyful Fate stuff:

Some rare Metallica shit, I also have a Whiplash testpressing, but forgot to include it in photo:

Random favorites:

Some crossover metal and Danzig stuff:

That is it for now, I will try to post more stuff when I get a chance of some more rare ones. Thuis is mainly just my personal favorites

Nice Prowler! I think I've seen that signed copy before...?
At the rate you're going, you should have a complete NWOBHM collection done by Christmas :lol:

I do plan on creating a gallery of cool metal records, however, these things take time.

So, I decided to simply post my top item, strictly monetary-wise, since I stil have the photo available.

Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss

I bought the damn thing 9 years ago, simply out of curiosity, and because the marbled vinyl looked great! It cost me about 4.500 drachmas or about 13 Euros, in today's currency. I almost never listen to it, and whenever my hands breeze through my LPs, and reach it, I always flirt with the idea of selling it.

More so, when I see auctions such as the following one, the urge to sell it gets even stronger!

http://www.popsike.com/Burzum-Hvis-Lyse ... 31510.html

What can I say? I can't part with any of my records!

Oh, and the previous owner decided that he or she could do without the sticker on the back of the sleeve, the one that has the number. This is limited in 2000 copies, you see. Damn fool.

Haha, thanks Alan! I think the guy who had it has had it since it was released. But there was one signed copy sold some years ago, with red, green and blue pencils if my memory serves me right. 8)

Patrik- Ah, I must be thinking of that copy then.

NWOO- cool item! Definitely his best release IMO. I've never seen that version, though I don't collect black metal vinyl so I don't know the pressings/variations

So far, it is the only of his releases that I have listened to!

Actually this is first press, 1993, and all that jazz. Or not jazz. Just black metal.

That was a real bargain, since the record store I bought it from was obviously unaware of its rarity - same as I. To them, it was just another used record up for sale.
