Тhis may not be the same band that released the single "Flying Over The Rainbow / Tell Me".
Perhaps this single is extremely rare. I haven't met him anywhere before, he's not even in Discogs.
ChrXst.. another überkült one I'll never find :(
Funny how one of the precious few on-topic Google results pointed back to a 13 yo post on this very forum: viewtopic.php?p=53534#p53534

The band is in the guide tho, but no mention of the 12": https://thecorroseum.org/features/germa ... Search#res

Gonna hijack this one as a 'General German Metal discussions'-thread and just add this new review here:

If anyone is desperate for an mp3-rip, let me know, otherwise most YT clips I've heard sound decent..

In the very early beginning Lemming Project was called "Secret Lemming Project".

Later they shortened their name to Lemming Project.

(1 Intro + 5 Treacks)

Danke !

That's not the "Heimbach Tapes" Demo, it's the "Black and white" Demo. The track with Intro is called "Helicon", then there's still the title track and the other 2 trax I don't know.

Mine comes with a black tape where it is handwritten "Black & White" with silver letters on both sides....Hmmm, I might be wrong about this, but those TDK tapes remind me more of the mid 90s, but definitely not sure....
My booklet is also complete. There is a photo of the band where the page is blank. On the backside there is all the info.


The tracklist (2 tracks per side) is:
Black & White
Helicon
Dressed To Kill
Dead Man

As far as i know The Black & White demo has the cover in black/white and only 2 tracks - Black & White / Woman

so, something is not matching.
not even the inside business card with the supposed tape setlist there's only a reference to 3 tracks :

Image

as i said my tape (after listening) also don't match this setlist added on the business card.
so, is everyone wrong ?

This is what my copy looks like.

I guess the "Black & White" demo is identical to the single...

Nightcrawler's Tape is the original "Black & white" Demo.
What Ze has with 2 trax is most probably just a Promotape with the 2 single trax.
Here in this Underground Empire interview it's 666 % confirmed, the cover of the Demo is below the text.

The band either mentioned to use the "Black & white" Demo cover for their debut LP once again. Et voila ... quod erat demonstrandum :lol:

Mine has the Helicon Intro and 5 trax. The setlist on the tape has 3 trax - doesn't match
Also, there's the lyrics of the album on M.A.
I listened and re-listened. and compared with the album. Also no "Woman" neither "Dressed To Kill" neither any other track later on the album or other tape version...
3 of the trax are unknown....
besides the ones i identified - "Helicon" (The Intro) - "Black & White" and "Dead Man"

Dunnö, any Promo probably. That TDK indeed doesn't look like 80's. I used to tapetrade with those tapes in the 90's.
