Shit, the total price of those LPs is probably higher than the one i have paid for all the 650 vinyls of my collection. Great pictures anyway.

A bottom-10 US metal turd in my book.
I haven't really heard enough stinkers (or should it be "smelled enough"?), but it's a pretty bad album, that's for sure. I can't really hear any inspiration at all in that one.

Knowing the wicked ways of Azra/Iron Works I would say the white (pic disc test pressing?) COMMANDER?

...and hot kiss = Drifter 7" for me, thank you.
no that is not, at least 5 copies around of this....no Hot Kiss won :-) there are two records I would say that top 90% of teh die-hard collector's want lists I mean. Both in a different way.
More mysteries:
U.T.M.? TREASON? Never seen or heard about before...
U.T.M. standing for "Un Trago Mas" is one of the best Spanish 80's metal pressings, really cool stuff, enjoyable like Exodo or Vizio.

TREASON is average metal with thrash influences in the vein of KILLER WATT and it is not 80' anymore. It is from 1991 or 1992
I haven't really heard enough stinkers (or should it be "smelled enough"?), but it's a pretty bad album, that's for sure. I can't really hear any inspiration at all in that one.
Musically seen: yes, of those 18 records on the pic Mark Lowrey is the one that deserves the question if it is listenable or not. Strange stuff.
Treason is average, Killer Watt is ok ut also not top.
All others are special and absolutely great additions musically seen. Ok ok, Amethyst is only for posers like me as it is no ultra heavy record and Militia is not everyone's taste I just see just now when all people bought the CD re-release and don't like the very progressive style in Militia's music.

I love Militia actually. It's a great record and I'm looking forward to seeing them at KIT.

I've heard Treason and Killer Watt, none of which caught any interest with me. Never heard Amethyst - is it an AOR record, American melodic hard rock or what? I like some records like that.

AMETHYST has one totally KILLER track, the closing Goddess in the light, pure US fuckin' metal. The other three are in a sleazy style, that doesnt necessarily mean that they are bad tracks.

IRON CROSS?
not much DIE-HARD colllector's here?

It is quite easy I thought. There is actually only one record that is REALLY impossible to find. (and another one only in this special version)

I also thought that stuff like UTM, TREASON are standards for maniacs like Dan the Administructor...
Very interesting to see the different vierws, interests etc...

I don't know why, but I'll say the Saint EP?
It's probably not, but I'm taking a guess?

Sure Iron cross, Wyzard, Militia, Legend etc is rare as /¤&¤ but I have seen them all for sale or on lists or people that owns them. Never seen that Warzwolf on any lists or on the bay. So I would say Warzwolf maybe.

I remember seeing this Messiah LP on ebay some years ago. Went for a crazy amount, maybe 700-1000 dollars. Christian band, never heard it though. How is that record?

hehe i also remember peter buying the messiah on ebay
messiah always sounded like the beatles to me
well amethyst and morgana are supposed to be 100 copies each i think
amethyst is definitely 100,they sure seemed to be hard pressed for cash down in texas
maybe morgana is 300? i dont remember too well
the other radio star release (dark ages) is much easier to find
also there is a morgana test press from crotalo records -25 copies i think,i held one in my hands
shadow is supposed to be same case like sabre,US soldiers recording in their NATO military bases and probably 500 copies each?
and a few of the commander shapes are supposed to be usual david richards numbers (5-25 copies or a cozillion copies depending who you ask)
well i admire Peter's dedication to collect anything and everything!
Speaking of David Richards,that Jag Panzer pink colour with bits of white is also supposed to be VERY few copies and went for hundreds of euro i think also
hands down the best LP out of those to me is the Iron Cross- top of my wantlist for ages
I am so true my mp3 player's screen has slight ringwear

Yep, that is also what I think. Wait until John is getting outta bed to teach us the truth/opposite but WARZWOLF definitely is the rarest metal LP I suppose.

The red Jag Panzer same category but not as interesting as there are many other versions that can be bought, listened and collected.

John help me. I know only 2 copies on Warzolf on earth maybe here in forum there is another guy haing it. Really makes me shiver to know f there are more. I know more people owning the yellow AVATAR 7" so I suppose Warzwolf.

Kyr, absolutely. IRON CROSS is musically seen the best of the 18 miles ahead. The pure US metal LP ever. If you want an originalcopy contact me, maybe I can help you.
