i have a bunch of demotapes from the 80's that were 100 or less pressed. but as far as i know all my super limited LPs are from 90's to now.

the closest i come is Mein Kampf's Speeder!! EP green jacket, limited to 250 copies.


unless you wanna count test presses. i have a test press of Nuclear Assault's Brain Death EP.

RAPID FORCE - s/t LP and ANNATHEMA - "Empire of Noise" LP, both from Serbia, were only made in 120 copies each due to complications during the civil war. Haven't heard that ANNATHEMA lp, but RAPID FORCE was a disappointment.

Yeah, the EP was limited to 200 copies, but it is from the 90`s.
From 1991, I have also a Serbian Hard Rock 7" from the band Atlantida, which was used for promotion only and limited to 100 copies...

well, I first heard it in January (around 10th of) 1990 on then Radio Ljubljana. 1990 is just a prolongation of 80's to me anyway :) .

The most obscure record I'm aware of must be a 7'' that supposedly was released in the late 80's/early 90's by the Cuban band Metal Oscuro. Never seen a copy anywhere, nor talked to anyone who has seen one... Probably less than 100 made?

And the Chronology of Death split LP (Xenophobia (Slo) / Carbonized / Bluuurgh... / Sentenced), which was supposedly pressed in Slovenia by some fanzines in 1991, was limited to 500 copies.

There's also a rumor that Mijo Popovič (guitarist / mainman of Pomaranča) bought almost all of Pomaranča LPs back in the 80s, 'cause he was afraid that noone will buy them :)

ah i thought of something else. its actually kinda embarrasing but when i was like 12 i used to be a huge green day fan. :oops: excuse me for being a dumb kid. lol
anyway, i got a copy of their first 7" from 1989 with a pink paper sleeve. normally the sleeves were on green paper, but one day the copy store they xeroxed their shit at ran out of green, so they had to use pink paper instead. less than 100 exist.

Apocalipsis - same minilp (Mexico) pressed 150, many destroyed or recicled, which lowers the amount of copies circulating

Some more very rare releases:
Mephisto/Mergus - Split LP (300 copies)
Blast - Little Sister 7" (no PS) from South Africa (never seen/heard of another copy)
Sacred Sword - Give Em Hell LP (US)
Hard'N'Heart - Innocent and Sinful (GER) 200 copies
Cracked Mirror - Same (UK) 200 copies

Another 7" I recently got and like a lot, but I have no infos about it:
Deuce - Jealousy 7" 1986 Power Metal Records UK, no P/S
I am not that much into NwobHM so possible this isn't all that rare, all infos are welcome.
