Coverart/Name/Origin are interesting, the music is not.

cosigned, and i generally love the early 70s protometal/hard psych shit

the s/t lp from '72 is pretty awesome, very heavy for the time. last few times it popped up on ebay it went for more than i wanted to pay. don't remember exactly how much but i'm thinking it was in the $75-100 ballpark?

awesome, any chance you have a rip of the ZADKIEL flexi?

i think he just meant world record for THIS record, obviously there are plenty that sell for much more.

are the flexi tracks not included on the jurassic jade discog cd that just came out? i don't buy cds so i wouldn't know...

i guess rarity is a pretty relative term, but i don't know too many people who have heard RAMSES - apocalipsis lp. totally great mexican album from '85, like a mix of priest with a dash of early motorhead. cheap when you can find it (think i paid $16 for mine) but they don't seem to come up for sale...

to be honest, "a cradle song" is the only one i've heard/own, but i like it a lot.

no mention of JURASSIC JADE?
