Paradoxx
Avatar (yellow vinyl)
D.R.P.

Morgana testpress LP
Anthracite LP

what is D.R.P.?
how about Wyzard "Future Knights"? not sure the story on that one.
Amethyst 12"

Isn't the Courage MLP "Gold and Ivory" pressed < 100 ? Don't know for sure.

The gold version of the Ripper LP

testpresses - sure why not, I didn't think of that I was just looking for some input

what is D.R.P.? Great cover bad record from NY. "I AM SATAN" 3 songs, To my ears 2 are punk and 1 is metal but it always got put in the metal catagory (I think for the great cover)

how about Wyzard "Future Knights"? 500 "Knights of Metal" 2000
Amethyst 12" - 500 as well

Hundreds of Azra-Shapes !

Interesting DRP, never heard of it or seen it either.

Are you sure about Amethyst? If this is true, where are the records, in landfill? I ask this because RELLIK guys told me they made 2000 of the "Remember the Future" EP but It could not be more than 500 copies. I wonder where all those "Future Knights" are too?

I can believe RELLIK 1000-2000 sure why not. I had a few remember and a lot more have shown up over the years.

You have to think most 90 % of the US pressing co. didn't offer anything less then 500. and most who offered "Vinyl & Cover" packages had a 1000 min. order.

So there had to be a strange deal to get lease then 500.
Avatar - 1000 black, 10 yellow same press
Paradoxx - would have had 1000 if the labels where not messed up.
testpresses - are 1-10 copies and if that band didn't get the press run then that is it.

TYRANT-Live And Crazy less than 5-10 copies.Also it is a rumour that exist other

If anyone knows more about the numbers pressed, I'd appreciate any reliable info.

about Odyssey, a SA guy told me that it was surely pressed in a few hundred copies. In SA, really many people remember them...
