If anyone wants to hear the original version of the first Pentagram LP, someone uploaded it on the NWNprod forum in the 'Pentagram - Relentless' topic.

Title fits the artist (Liebling). I listened to Show 'em How through few times last week first time in ages and I have to say vocals of mr. Liebling are terrible much too often. Bands is tight as my wallet but those vocals...

Hope Bobby can make it this (last?) time and Pentagram will not be remembered (totally) as a sad case of drug abuse.

Great band, one of my faves. I've been playing their Dec 8, 1973 rehearsal session in my truck all week.

Regarding a list of their 70s sessions/song titles, I've never come across a good database for that. One of the guys runs the Bedemon website and he's mentioned that he'd like to generate such a list to clear up all the confusion and to help prevent people from buying bootlegs that have the same material on them, but to date he hasn't had a chance to do so.

I have a small database of boots, sessions, and song titles on a spreadsheet. It needs some updating and cleaning up, but I could upload it if folks are interested. It's by no means 100% complete, but it's a good start for figuring out what songs were recorded in the 70s and what sessions are floating around in trading circles.
I *think* I have about 60-70 different songs by the vintage line-up (with multiple versions of most), but I don't remember if that includes some allegedly pre-Pentagram recordings that contain a lot of songs I've never seen/heard on other Pentagram sessions. These were supposedly recorded by the pre-Pentagram Stone Bunny in 70-71, but I'm not sure that information is accurate.

Deathmaster will know about all this shit, she is a fanatical fanatic to say the least. She is also featured in the upcoming Liebling documentary, which should be fucking awesome!

1st album is immortal. Every riff is more killer than the other. 10/10 stuff.
The next two are excellent, never heard what they did after that.

Could be interesting, though it'll be interested to see what they do and don't include. He wrote cool music, but he's also bummed a lot of people out with his dope addict ways; opportunities lost, shows screwed up/cancelled, people not properly thanked/compensated for their work on his behalf, etc. Amazing the guy is even alive. Gret musician, but by most accounts not such a great human being (never met him myself, so I can't say personally).

Why Hasselwander plays only in one track in the debut album?

And oh yeah! I am willing to buy/trade Be forewarned 2lp at any cost!
