that's a good lesson! If I kept all the demos and discs I was given over the years, I could make some decent money on ebay right now. Of course, i would have been dragging boxes and boxes around and stuffing them in tiny apartments for the last decade. Ever tried making a coffee table or couch out of cassette cases? No comfy! :lol:

I love Morbid Saint, but think the hype surrounding them these days is a bit much.

I wish I could have found "Into Darkness" in the mid 90's, I knew 3-4 guys in the bay area that really wanted one and it was impossible to find on the west coast.

I occationally come across this one over here for 20-30€. Bring me a copy of LUZBEL'z "Pasaporte al Infierno" LP to KIT and I'll bring you this one 8)

Same here. I also go my copy from Rainer back then and so did a few friends of mine. None of the actual vinyls were warped.
I've read/heard a lot of hype of this record in recent years from The New Thrash Generation, so I'm not that surprised it's fetching these prices nowdays. Grrrrreat thrasher!

You don't even know where Chicoutimi is, hell, I don't even know where this town is and I live in Canada. Obviously you are unaware that Banzai is a Canadian label...

Okay, perhaps I misunderstood what he was implying because quite frankly no one can understand what the hell he is trying to say most of the time but I was under the impression that he was stating that no one from such a small town in the middle of nowhere should know of Running Wild, hence. the high price and why the seller thinks that the record is rare.

The bottom line is that these Banzi pressings are most widely spread in the country where the label originated.

Of course I know better than you about Quebec and Chicoutimi. My collection of Quebec metal cds is bigger than your whole collection :lol: :lol: Thank God Quebec has nothing to do with the rest of "Canada"...
What I meant? I would expect from him to sell local quebec metal cds.-

You are a fool to think that you know anything about Quebec, (or Canada for that matter) based soley on your CD collection... Tool.
