- "Todo El Rock" (Costa Rica, 1987):

I see on various FB group that this Costarican compilation isn't particularly impossible to find.
have it ...^^
There are also 1 or 2 more AOR songs featured, but besides Distorsion and Armagedon it's not really worth to buy for big money, especially since all songs of Distorsion and Armagedon was taken from their singles.
It's not easy to be the Antichrist ...

And a serie of 3 compilation tapes (never released on vinyl but re-released on CD a few years ago) from Malaysia with exclusive bands/recordings and not the countless other compilation with recycled over and over and over and over again songs from previous albums or compilation:

7) "War Rock I - Sengsara Timur Tengah" (Mutiara Records, 1987 with Pratayuda, Medicine, The Kids, Midnight) - nothing special but Medicine deliver two songs much rawer and hars than on the shitty debut album in the following year:

8 ) "War Rock II - Malaya" (Mutiara Records, 1987, with Stroyer, Dewanga, Kejora, BC Rockers) - already much better. Only Kejora released something else beside these debut tracks:

9) "War Rock III" (Mutiara Records, 1987, with Chakrawala, Mentari, Eyes Killers, Spring). Spring here are much more metal than in their successive debut album, while Eyes Killers later became the very successful and known Dinamik:

My poor wantlist... :cry:

Interesting about those War Rock volumes - my source claimed they WERE available as infamous "DJ Copy" vinyl promos as well, but it was a 2nd gen source and I've never seen pictures of them...
The other Malaysian ones I was aware of and they are indeed VERY high on my wantlist - as are practically all Malay comps.

In 15 years of Malaysia and 5+ years of joining dozens of selling/trading groups from there, I've never seen the vinyl version of the three "War Rock".... even because Warna (to be not confused with Warnada) / Mutiara / Kuching / YY / Sinaran Musikal (all belonging to the same group) have never released anything on vinyl and it couldn't be otherwise else considering they were ultra low budget cassettes sold at half price the usual selling price of other labels: only ultracheap CDs and Karaoke VCDs in recent years have been done... they were (and still are) among the poorest, shittiest, cheapest label ever.... when the CD version came out 3-4 years ago people thought they could be bootleg as the label was supposed to have ceased activities years before. Actually they are still active and their target customers were (and still are) mainly indonesian immigrants and/or not wealthy customers. The only rock releases made by this group of labels (which are basically all connected) are just these three volumes of War Rock and a re-release of May's "Strategi" sold at half price (which was, by the way, originally released on tape and CD by Antares Records and never re-released so far on CD or vinyl). Basically it was a group of label totally dedicated to pop yeh yeh (malaysian beat and psycho rock n roll from the 60's) and indonesian dangdut with countless compilation, best of and split.... but I highly doubt they ever released the three "War Rock" on vinyl, I'm 99,99 % sure

I don't know if this was mentioned but in one of my discogs explorations I found this one:

It's probably just album cuts but I don't remember coming across it before

I actually acquired this just recently. There's at least one song that's unique - The El Dragon track. It's a re-recording of an old Chykle tune, but much better than the original - quite frankly it's brilliant and the best they ever recorded imho.

Tssss... Everything they did is very good or even great!
"La mascara de hierro" is by far my prefered record from Argentina.

I probably asked before but I can't find it, what is the "cut-off" for compilations on CD?

I have a decent bunch from the 90s (mostly 93-95) when it seemed Sweden had no limit for "local compilation stuff on CD", but also from a bit of everywhere else.

A lot of those contain no metal though, but mostly various types of rock. Do we have a "beware" section? They don't feel like they quite belong in the "warning not metal" thread (but can add them there if that is where they should go)

There's a lot of hairsplitting as to what I add and don't from the early 90's.. I guess it depends on how "dated" (i.e. "80's") they feel. I still have lots of records, tapes & CDs in my own collection that hasn't been added yet, so mixed CDs from 93-95 is probably rather low on the prio-list atm...

I totally agree - but "Jaque Mate" rules them all 8)
...and the first and third CHYKLE albums are quite underrated.

That makes sense, then I have likely only 3, 2 with 1 song each. Two from 1993 and one from 1994. They'll take a while to find though, so no risk of me sending the whole bunch at once.

And since we have the first Rockslaget LP in the compilopedia, I will add that the 1993 and 1994 CD comps of Rockslaget contained no metal whatsoever. (In case you want to note that down somewhere)
