Unknown 80's US Metal test pressing 7" HELP!!!

chatzial · Post by **chatzial** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 9:05 pm

I have bought around 10 years ago a 7" vinyl test pressing with no info.
The seller told me that he did not know anything more than it was (as he could remember) an 80s metal band propably from California.

I am trying to find out the name of the band since then. The first song must be "Playing with the fire" and the flipside must be "Going to the top"

Today i visited a friend's place and he has a CD recorder so i wrote the 1st song. Give a listen to it and let me know if anyone knows this song.

This will not be easy.
During the 10 years that i have it, i asked a few collectors and they did not know it. It is propably a test pressing only release.
Too bad, because it is musically good.

I just hope some other member knows this single.
In the past i also asked Jim about it but he also didn't know it.

Is it a white label?
Big hole?, small hole?
Is there any Matrix #'s?
or symbles in the dead wax?

I have a really vague recollection of hearing a track like this before, I must go through my entire mp3 collection to see if it's this track or something that just reminds of this track.

Don't get too hopeful though, it's most likely the latter of the 2 probabilities.

Well
I would have guessed this was Late 80's

BUT from the info you gave me.
It was pressed in CA around 83-84
More then likely Erika, which means it could have been a Dave Richards deal (Azra, Iron Works.........)

I just sent a message to Dave. If i get more info i will let you know.

Did he answer? Sometimes he answers quickly with every info you need to know and then sometimes he does not even reply at all.
Damn...I want more Warwitch and Mighty Wrath demo trax...

He answered asking for more details but then he never came back.
Anyway, i don't think it has anything to do with Azra.

It might not,
I was going by the L18xxx
Which means it was pressed at Erika
Dave did his stuff there but so did others.
