according to musik-sammler, Flotsam and Jetsam "Cuatro" was on vinyl, can anyone confirm this? I'm still searching for it all these years even though it is an average album.

Not for Metal specifically, but these 3 would be the biggest collection/discography-resources out there:

http://www.discogs.com/
http://www.musik-sammler.de/

Except for the most obscure private pressings I often find what I'm looking for on one of those.[/quote

Awesome Dan, thanks for the links!

I find a copy on musicstack.com some weeks ago for $ 35,-!

Back when this cd was getting ready to be released I went down to L.A. to see DESTINY'S END play with Flotsam and I think I saw Fates Warning around the same time. Anyway Perry & I went to the Metal Blade offices and while I was there I asked Slagel if they were doing a lp version, you could tell he could care less, and I think he said something along the lines of only if the German office wants to do it and if they feel like there is enough demand. All this told me it wouldn't happen since I guess there was only enough 'demand' at the time for Cannibal Corpse lps...

I rarely have time for forums these days, but after several months logged in and noticed Rob's answer to Sgt. Kuntz's post. Rob's memory is dead-on. DE played our unofficial album release gig for Breathe Deep the Dark on September 18, 1998 with Flotsam & Jetsam and Prototype at legendary metal venue the Reseda Country Club just before it closed down for good. Despite plenty of demand from Europe and die-hards like me and Rob in the U.S., Metal Blade never bothered with vinyl. It's a shame, because I'd love to hear/see both DE albums as LPs.

Below are two ads from L.A. Weekly and Rock City News, along with the DE/Prototype serial-killer style paste-up flyer for the '98 gig, which I slapped together with pal Mike Bear on the fly.

ANTHRAX - Volume 8 (the thread is real)

I think that volume 8 its the only Anthrax release that isn´t available on vinyl

Have you ever seen Wargasm -Ugly on Massacre Rec. as official Vinyl?

I wonder if HELLOWEENs "Better Than Raw" came out as an official LP? I did see some copies on ebay, but all of them from brazil. Any infos would be appreciated.

Never heard of an LP for this album. And I used to be a massive Helloween fan. It's most likely a bootleg.
