Yeah, I've been a lucky bastard when it comes to finding the LPs of one of my favourite bands in the world. I'm still really fucking happy I bought "Be Forwarned" on DLP instead of CD when it came out, since it's the most difficult to find on vinyl these days, AND it's the 2nd best album they ever did, s/t being #1 and "Day Of Reckoning" a close 3rd.mordred wrote:And everybody who bought it at a record fair in Västerås 15 years ago for next to nothing are extremely gay!DaN wrote:Napalm Rec. is the original pressing.

Reposting my Q from another thread:
..and I would very much like to know if there's an index out there of all the demos and sessions recorded by the band, esp from the 70's. Seems like some old PENTAGRAM fan sites are down at the moment.I finally got hold of the missing piece in my PENTAGRAM LP collection: the "1972-1979 (Vol. 2)" bootleg. I know I've seen some different versions of this one - some w/ the photos on the front cover in color, some in black/white. Does anyone know which version was the first pressing?
I don't really need the all the different versions, but I prefere 1st pressings if possible. The one I got has a b/w cover, just a single sheet wrapped around a blank white sleeve.
My favourite is Day Of Reckoning. Funny, I've never developed appreciation of the first one. I think I can confirm this is due to the fact that I got DoR first and I gave it a lot of proper listens, when I didn't have much Doom in collection. When I got Relentless, I already heard a lot more of it and wasn't that interested anymore ... Oh, and Be Forwarned is great too - came 2nd to me.
I am ... the One you warned me of
The question is: Did Bobby Liebling actually write anything new after ca 1990, or did he just re-record old 70's chestnuts to fill the Pentagram studio albums to come?
I have one of those albums, Review Your Choices. It's made out of entirely rerecorded songs from the 70's Pentagram era + some new ones, all written by Joe Hasselvander.

When I talked to Geoff O'keefe a year or so ago, he said back in Bobby's prolific song writing phase (early 70'), he wrote a little less than 100 songs. I think it would not be hard to figure out what they were.
