That is weird.
It took you pointing that out to make me look closer & realise that the colours of the 3 guitars on the 'Italian Rock Invasion' sleeve make up the Italian flag which is a nice little design touch.

Apparently the label took all bands on a "school-trip" to the UK to record their songs in a number of UK studios - see this back sleeve:

One can't help wondering how much this bold career-move paid off in the long run, but here's to Ambition! :lol:

Wow, those were big name producers they had involved too. :shock: Would love to know the full back story behind this.

Nifelheim collection is essentially complete.

Just missing "MCMXC - MMIII" (rehearsals/live recordings) as "Unholy Death" LP contains the demo tape and 7" b-side. So I think this has all proper recordings by the band at least.

I've never been a completist, to the point of having everything and anything from a band.
