But will try out your method as well - to me it just sound "dangerous" to use chemicals/alcohol on printed matter?
At least dont use nail polish extinguisher
On certain covers, this can lead to burn away or severely bleach the colors / print especially those without thick lamination layer

How many vinyl pressings exists of DEATH SS' "Black Mass"? The 1st one should come with a fold-out cover, right? My copy is a "normal" one w/ lyric innersleeve.
Now I have the opportunity to get a fold-out version, but can I be sure it's the 1st press? Or are there several pressings w/ fold-out?
First press has gatefold. Second (I think bootleg) press has none. QUite easy gatefold is always original...
Thanx for the info. I've picked up the original now. Funny, that non-FOC version looks really obscure once you put them next to eachother. It has some minor differences in the cover art and it's printed on this matte paper. It still carries one of these typical little stickers you find on almost all italian records - which I always thought was some sort of "not-a-bootleg-guarantee".

I've noticed MA has other items listed as older than they should be. Whenever I've submitted a correction, it never gets done- another reason I don't bother contributing to that site anymore. I wonder if people sometimes submit incorrect, earlier dates to make certain items seem rarer/older and thus more valuable.[/i]

Yeah I stopped contributing to MA a while ago for the same reasons. However, the guy who runs nolifetilmetal was actually friends with at least one of the band members, and therefore seems fairly trustworthy. The following quote from his page would also indicate that it couldn't have been released later than 1985:
Heathens Rage released the 3 song EP pictured above in 1984 on Rock Dreams Records . Rock Dreams was a local record store that specialized in heavy metal. (Tony's best friend worked at Rock Dreams at the time.) I think this EP was either their first or second attempt at starting their own record company.
The lineup changed after the release of the record and Tony and Bob left. Tony joined a band called Drunken Angel who released one demo. After Tony and Bob left, Heathens Rage recorded a four song demo tape with a new singer before Rob Warner split the band up to form Warner. Tony Lee later formed a band in NYC called Railroad Jerks that have released several albums over the years..
Tony Lee was a close friend of mine throughout high school until I moved away to go to college in late 1985. He and I went to many concerts together back then and I never missed a Heathen's Rage show. (Caught quite a few practices down in the basement as well.)

Except I don't have a problem with it!
(it cost me about 4 € some ten or twelve years ago...)
Come to think about it. 1972 must be the perfect year to be born for a Heavy Metal collector. Too young to build a record collection in the years 1980-85... but old enough to develop a desperate hunger for the stuff. Then in 89-92 the music you love is becoming increasingly loathed world-wide (except in Greece?) and you could spend the next ten or so years picking up the stuff you had missed at first cheap in second hand stores.
