Monstrosity - Imperial Doom
Hypocrisy - Fourth Dimension (limited digipack 1994)
Invocator - Weave the Apocalypse
Slammer - The Work of Idle Hands
Meliah Rage - Solitary Solitude
Xentrix - Ghostbusters
Edge of Sanity - Unorthodox
Airdash - Both Ends of the Path
Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes (limited digipack 1994)
Cryptic Slaughter - Speak Your Peace
Tyrranicide - God Save the Scene
Monstrosity Alone is worth 80$ these days, so a very good price

Yeah, and last time I saw Tyrranicide on ebay it sold for 149$

I love when I get these kind of deals. It happens on rare occasions.
And the Monstrosity is definitely one of the best US death metal releases from the classic era.

I forgot to mention: I'm guessing this was the copy in the top left corner from the image above?

I have a copy as well, but mine has completely red labels and the word "CRASH" has a sticker posted on top of it that says "DANNY PRAZ AND THE ROCK PATROL" instead. I'm guessing this is the name of the band and that CRASH was the name of the label. Anyway - "Games" is a really cool, speedy song, but "Crazy" is rather bland. Is this a well known 12'' single in collector circles? Does anyone have any more info on this?
Actually my copy is this (and this is an extra copy):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330569240502?ss ... 1497.l2649

And the band was named Crash. As far as i know this release was mainly used as promo and the band was Praz brothers. Maybe when Danny Praz changed the name of the band, they put stickers ontop of Crash.

No it is not a well known rarity and it is a difficult to find record. I don't know if Glockose has more knowledge about it.
This kind of releases, 12"s without picture sleeves, are bound to be difficult to find because they will be always mixed up with disco or pop DJ 12"s.

Yeah, I remember my copy was found in the pop section, Discogs has it all wrong as well. I still wonder which pressing was the first - if they were initially named Crash or Danny Praz and the Rock Patrol. A Heavy metal mystery!

That's not easy to find... limited pressing (200 or 300 only), and is a status symbol over here... everyone in the music business and wants to show his importance owns a copy on his wall... producers, sound enginiers, musicians... a very few copies are in collectors' hands.

No, it's called "Be the light" and it's from 1989. Similar to their great "3" LP, no Hard Rock like on earlier albums. It's powerful Heavy Metal, but sung in english, except of "Be the light" which is featured both in hungarian and english but the hungarian version is preferable.

Wolfbane-s/t Cd SKR (very underrated band,specially from all those Pagan Altar fanboys)
The Devil´s Blood-The Thousandfold Epicentre Cd

Geez, I haven’t posted in here since May! This should cover most of my finds since then. Got my top 2 compilation "holy grails" this summer: Santa Barbara 1988 and Arctic Records Presents. Been searching for those for years!

I don't have prices to compare because I haven't seen this item listed anywhere but I just got Cry Of Terror - Unnatural Prospects... for 7$. Bargain?

I expected that, because Nocturn - Estranged Dimensions on Old World is fucking difficult to come by.

Hah, how much does that go for than? Picked it out of the bargain bin a few years ago. Don't really like that one...

Cry of Terror is more easy to get than Nocturn, but seven poor dollars are really very few, aside from the odd label
