The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

I have nothing but dislike for Metal-Archives after they banned me for making "false reports". The issues I reported are still not fixed by the way, almost 6 years later.

Oh no, that's rotten.

MA could be a great site, but sadly it won't happen, bcs they are not serious enough. For example, release dates, there are some ppl there having a hobby of constantly changing them. within few months you may score three different ones and some mistakes seem to be perpetrated and glorified. If data of certain bands is compromised that way, the reliability of whole database can be questioned.

I corrected some data that the bands itself asked me to correct and then in certain cases when I logged in again I was warned by a moderator for adding wrong data!
Also sometimes I can't get rid off the impression, that the mods there are that young that they don't have a clue of what's Hard Rock and what's 80's Heavy Metal. Each Heavy Metal band gets the mark Hard Rock/Heavy Metal nowadays. Personally I think half of the mods are into Metalcore and the other half into Death/Black Metal.

I have read somewhere that the Vizio (ES) 12" is also an edition 200. I was not able confirm this and it is from 1992 though ...

Bloody Climax - Back to the Wall -> dunno how many copies, but I've never seen one for sale yet

500 according to a bandmember.

But that doesn't change the statement of OoS as I'm in the "business" since 20 years and haven't seen a single Bloody Climax copy yet either.

As for Happl, not sure if 2 copies are real as even testpressings are being manufactured in 5 copies at least.

Bought 6 copies of BLOODY CLIMAX from the band 10 years ago...but they had not much left....500 they said but I doubt...

HAPPL would be cool with 2 copies, I know both owners

I only know three copies of DESTROYER - Thunder LP so another top one

Two of my releases have two testpressings only..PROWLER for example.. cause this testpress selling madness nowadays is sick so I make two for me and a friend that's it.
IRON CROSS-Florida made one testpressing only according to Rex.

Malisha (California) - Give It All You Got - 7'' 1983
i think this one fills the requirement of the Thread.

I contacted BLOODY CLIMAX too around 8 - 10 (?) years ago. Guy got totally mad at me yelling "leave me alone, I get contacted all the time, nothing left!!!!"
Maybe I was shortly after you bought those copies, haha

HAPPL: Not too sure either. I know one owner.

DESTROYER: three copies incl. mine or 3 others?

Abattoir - The Game of Death / Stronger Than Evil 7'' (probably less than 100, but unconfirmed. It has never been offered for sale, and until a few years ago the collector world didn't know it existed)
Tyranny - Rock It / She Ain't Comin' Back 7'' (5 copies were made I think. The b-side label mistakenly names the band "Infinity", so one band member each got a copy and they trashed the rest)

Hmn, never heard of, testpressing only again I wonder?

Aren't they from the 90's?...

Maybe but these are 80ies sounding, so they all count

Another early 90's micro pressing is the Salient - Tricks of the trade red vinyl 7". Only exists as testpressing. No idea how many they made but would be surprised if it are more than 50 copies. Prohably 20 I think, according to the few guys who own a copy ...

good example! I got this, but one side has a scratch sadly.

Never saw 1 - surely a testpressing.
But you can always ask her : http://www.kimlachance.com/

Would be cool if NOBODY would mention that Destroyer - Thunder LP here on this forum again. I'm still searching for my cheap copy and don't need concurrents. Thank ya!

Never heard of that Destroyer record, anybody wanna share some info?? Is it one of the other known destroyers or a different band all together?
