Beyond belief

Hi, guys! It's really me - Raoul Sanchez, the one who's mentioned here. First of all, I'd like to say really BIG thanks to all those, who took up my intiative, continued my job and made come true things I really never dreamt of. I mean the creation of the most complete labels collection ever. The work done is amazing, it's simply beyond belief.

BTW, I've dug up some more labels data, which you (actually, all of us) don't have. Here's what I have and can share with you:
- Aggressive Rock
- Aurophon (the 90's CD-versions of GAMA-releases)
- Bacillus
- Earache (early releases of that label are undoubtedly noteworthy)
- Laserlight (another 90's CD-versions of GAMA-releases)
- Music For Nations (Huge catalogue)
- Nuclear Blast (see Earache)
- Powerage
- Raw Power
- Rough Justice
- Steamhammer (Huge catalogue)
- Under One Flag (Huge catalogue)
- We Bite
- West Virginia (the label of Holy Moses' Andy Classen)
- Zebra

Huh?! Looks good?

Hey Raoul! I mailed you shortly after the initial launch of the new label section but never heard back from you. Great to hear you're pleased w/ the result. We should definitely compare notes on some of those other labels. For instance I've got an almost-finished Steamhammer-page I really could use some help with. I'll pm you later today.

I did actually closed my older mail-box a while ago because of the huge amounts of spam coming in. Now I have new, functioning mail-box.

"Pleased" is hardly an adequate word to describe my admiration

It's fantastic what you've done.

No problem, let's do it.

I have to express my amazement about having you here, Mr. Sanchez. Looking forward for all the upcoming data. Cheers!

BTW, Dan, how it comes that you have an avatar, that's some poster in Russian?

Thanks, buddy! I'm also very glad to join the community of people strongly devoted to 80's Metal. It's a real rarity in our days. This source is totally invaluable.

If anyone is interested, here

http://www.real-audio.ru/measurements/collection/a.html

one can have a look at my vinyl collection. All you have to do to browse thru it, is just change the letter before the last dot from "a" to "z". There's more than 500 LPs in total - please, don't hesitate to ask about anything. I don't sell my vinyl, but it would be my pleasure to comment on a particular LP.

I do also have a lot of CD's, but don't have any catalogue right now

My biggest source of music is still my tapes archive, counting more than 1500 cassettes, recorded from LP's during late 80's and early 90's

Here's how it looks like

Yes, I'm sort of "old-fashioned" in many aspects of life - I'm listening to, preferably, 80's Metal, listening strongly in STEREO, I don't accept subwoofers, multichannel and other home-theater related stuff, I own JAPANESE hi-fi exclusively (no chinese/taiwanese hi-end fraud!), I still use cassettes and video-tapes, the CD's constitute the least part of my musical collection, I've bought DVD-player quite recently
