It is actually very average album to say the least. Think of poor-man's Motley Crue with ridiculously high-pitched vocals.

Their 2006 EP in contrast is awesome and miles ahead. I've been trying to license it for proper release (it has been self-released as pro-printed CDR only) but the band wouldn't let me do it without re-releasing the 1985 LP and I'm really on a fence...
Do it. At least you know that you'd have one buyer, haha...

I really don't find anything wrong with the vocals on "Face The Danger". They are quite common for a US band, although, quite feminine in some parts.

By the way, the comment you made on the bands video posted on youtube, it looks as if you would be happy to re-issue "Face The Danger" but here you are obviously saying otherwise. I'm confused about that.

Flames Of Hell - Fire And Steel LP 100€
Hello my friend! Wow! Finally you got your top wanted LP? And for only 100 EUR?! WOW !!

That's a steal as well! I might get mine soon as well, but I had to pay more than only 15 EUR :?

Probably because it ended with "Buy It Now" before ebay even had a chance to mail you about it. I suppose each users auto search -> email script only runs like once a day.

I thought it must have been a BIN but didn't eBay used to say something along the lines of "This item ended with Buy It Now"?

Yes, I remember that too. But I haven't seen it at all lately. Also, it could have been a "Best offer" auction. But why he would settle for $15 is beyond me. :roll:

Edit: Did some research, and this is what a BIN auction looks like nowadays.

Bishop Steel 7" was Buy It Now at 14.99. Seller listed it with shipping only to US, but I asked him/her, and he/she had no problems at all shipping it to Norway. One of my best deals for a while :wink:

I'm starting to wonder if every eBay using 80's metal collector in the world is registered at the Corroseum...

Congratulations! :)

I bought this a while back

I think it could be concitered as a Bargain since it normally goes more than 100$

That CD used to sell for <10€ around here before that notorious kreator72 auction, and from what I've heard it's musically not even worth that ... ;)
