concerning Witchfinder General Death Penalty LP tracklist, all LP versions including the Pic Disc have the wrong track order! I also made the discovery not so long ago and asked people to check their versions and all are fucked up.
What I'm wondering is the thing with the printed inner. I always thought only the red vinyl has this printed sleeve, but now Ive seen a clear one for auction with printed inner. Mine hasnt and several other with clear vinyl as well

Hey my friend, I never told your copy isn't LF!!!
In fact all copies I have seen are like yours!!
I just said my copy isn't Enigma, please check it again!!!!

Edit: Hey Daniel, I just saw what I wrote down!!! Hehe! You are right my language wasn't clear!!! I meant sth else I explain it in that "Fri Oct 09, 2009 3:37 pm" post!
I 'm sorry again!

I also have the first pressing too!! HAHAHA!!!!!!
I have it all!!! Skeletons on label, logo on backcover and an insert, that happens to be smaller than usual inserts (usually inserts are almost 30x30 cm. Insert in my CU frost and fire is 26x26 cm)!! What about yours Dan?

I can't imagine I overstep any rules by crossposting some album trivia, so here's the importat post from Miskatonic:

So I'm sorting through all my vinyl and doing a 'thinning out' of different pressings etc, can't keep them all, so I came across two pressings of CIRITH UNGOL "Frost & Fire" in my stash- and am trying to figure out which is which. Maybe another serious collector nerd out there besides me can shed some light?

1) has no address below the copyright info on back center of cover, labels have the three 'kneeling skeletons' across the top, spine print reads 'heavy metal' at the top of it

2) has the Liquid Flames address below copyright info on back cover, labels have no skeletons and say "Liquid Flames" across top, and spine print has "LF001" at top

any input? I suspect the one with no label address was probably first, but just thought somebody out there may know. And if this seems trivial to you please ignore the post, no need to remind me of how it is probably a fact I shouldn't be fretting about! haha

later!

So for the CU pressings, if I thought it was an awesome record I might care, but it's just an average album with an amazing cover, to be honest I can never understand that some prefer it to their 2nd LP...

I'd heard that the original Frost & Fire came out in 1980, but on the label it says copyright 1981. When did it really come out?

Frost & Fire + King Of The Dead are the very best, no doubt

I just saw the Emerald - Downtown LP question.

When Emerald were here for UTH and went out for food the day after the concert (Kyr, you were there), i remember very clearly giving my black copy of the LP to the guys to sign it and i asked the same question, but i got the reply something like that:

"The original pressing was supposed to be in red (a version i see less often than the black one) and the black was/is a mispressing"

In fact, i like the black cover A LOT more than the red one (something that amazed the guys, since they seem to love the red one...)

Kyr, maybe i got it mixed up, or is it you??? hehe, either way, the LP slays!!!!!
