oh yes of course German Oak is a bootleg. It was recorded in 1972 but was never released until a cd came out in the mid 90's. Someone made a bootleg of it right around 2001. I bought it new from a mailorder dealer for $25 in 2001. There is another German Oak album which isn't as good that is cd onl...

Me and a friend have plans of putting together a compilation LP of unknown Belgian heavy rock/psych singles from the late 60s and early 70s, which means we are going to have to track down a lot of bands.

Malfeitor = gods!

Just stopped listening to Impaled Nazarene - Ugra Karma. What an album!!!

the barbarian totally rules. need that shitty EP. this might have disqualified my opinion on Northwinds now though Barbarian = euuurggh. :D Anyone have any info on STAINLESS STEEL (Bel)? I think there's two Stainless Steels from Belgium, one from Brussels and one from Ostend. Is this true? Humus? L...

I've been trying to download this compilation for two days. I HATE RAPIDSHARE!!!!!!
Can anyone reupload it with megaupload/mediafire/...? Thanks!
