All ROCKERS (Singapore) LPs and many other late 80's/early 90's Singapore/Malaysia hard rock & Heavy Metal albums I've been told.
Commercially they were only available on tape (and some later on CD) but the apparently made a run of about 50 vinyls each for radio stations, music biz people etc. Do we still have any Sin/Mal members here who could shed some light on this matter?

MISTREATER - Hells Fire
500 copies min.
Rellik was over 500, This was a custom Canada press. they would only do 1000 at a time not less.
Just because you dont see that many copies today doesn't mean they didn't press many back in the day.
I have been sell records for over 20 years now and I have had close to 100 copies of Rellik go throw my hands.
Mistreater was on every Hard Rock/Psych list in the 80's for $35-$50 it was very comman back then I saw boxes of these. When people started collecting metal in the 90's and heard this they started to dry up but even in 2001 I was able to get 10 sealed copies and the record still shows up on ebay every few months

well, almost 50 copies are what is left, after the destruction..they destroyed the copies, just because the stick of the vinyl was put slightly wrong..roihlem wrote:I heard that the Paradoxx LP was pressed in bigger quantity, but only 50 copies survived, because the band was not satisfied with the material...
Black signs on my monitor, great bitching and fake words, Avenger is here, the craziest "modest" of all modsss...FTOU!!

One can really wonder what the hell happened to the other copies, maybe another 15 are in collections and the others are maybe wasted, same goes for the others.glockose wrote:15 known copies are in collections an the rest is ???
5 known Crowhavens and the others are gone. Maybe those 5 are the only 5 left of the initial pressing and the rest is wasted or the other 495 are in collections no one knows of or...(uhh back to work, Sten)

The press was for 1000 copies
The day of the release party they went to pick up the vinyl.
The labels on the records are messed up.
The band only took 50 copies to bring to the party and never went back to get the other 950 copies since now that they listened to it they really dont like the sound.
The pressing plant after 1-2 years of holding the 950 copies recycled the vinyl and put the covers in the trash.
