Should be much easier to find than the Magnit one!
On the backover it says that there where 11000 copies made! But i am not shure if this can be possible.
According to Discogs there is a second pressing with white labels and another 1100 copies.
Yeah I noticed. Wantlisted + waiting for the war to end in time for the next copy to appear.
GOOD LUCK! :cry: :evil:
I did get mine the same day the war started! From Ukraine.

What was the thinking behind the Overkill sleeve with the band shot? Best replace that rude gesture to avoid offending, but we'll keep the title? Cocaine's a helluva drug. :lol:

I'd never seen that top right illustration version of this cover before, what a huge improvement over the photographic sleeve. Shows the basic design idea was sound just the photographic execution a bit 'off', even if the illustrator got the proportions of the fiddle a bit wrong.

...because who doesn't need 3 different pressings of the Swiss Stormbringer, really :lol:

Cool selection as always. What's that alternate Noisehunter version?

Never seen that alternate version of 'Highway To Hell' before. Quite cool in it's own way with the minimalist approach, but the original Australian version is probably my favourite:

Blind Vengeance is a frustrating one; clearly talented players with a good singer, but the record's fairly schizophrenic stylistically and the songwriting just isn't quite there yet, though it's close. A shame they didn't make it to a second album.
The re-mix and rearranged tracklist for the 2nd version worked against them i think, as that original version holds together a bit better to my ears.

Huh!... Never struck me that that amazing-looking private debut and the later Malachia was the same album. After re-listening to the later version on YT it sounds like one of those almost-ok ones I think.. So is it just a different mix or is it an entirely different recording?
