I am willing to part with my Manilla Road – Crystal Logic Black Dragon BLACK LP, for this might be a chance to get a long-time-wanted record from my wantlist. This record is an official release from the 90s, supposedly limited to 500 copies and only a few copies known in collector’s hands. I would grade the condition of cover and vinyl as ex+/ex.
Have a look at the photos and at my wantlist below. For offers and questions, please write an email to
steppo275@yahoo.de.
Wantlist:
Germany:
Asmodina - Headbanger
Black Fate - Commander of Fate
Bloody Mary - s/t
Inherent Sin - Children of the Night
Pharao - Bad Boys from East
Poison - Into the Abyss
Sirens - The Twilight Zone
Europe:
Anthracite - Plus Precieux que l'Or
Asparez - Anathema
Aspid (Rus) - Extravasation
Morgana Lefay - Symphony of the Damned
NJB - Heroes
Venin - s/t

I have a couple of their lps on the Black Dragon label, never knew they were limited to 500 so thanks for the info. Your want list is pretty small so I wish you luck finding your trade

They're not. The thing here is that the normal Black Dragon release of Crystal Logic is on blue vinyl. The black vinyl version is very limited, as described above.

My Black Dragon Manilla Road releases are black vinyl. I have The Deluge and Open the Gates. Were they released on colored vinyl also? I am not up on the Black Dragon discography

No, the other two MR albums have been released only on black vinyl, but Crystal Logic had been released on blue vinyl, which is the regular version.
I know that my wantlist is short, but as I stated, if someone has something interesting for trade, he can contact me as well.

I have a Excalibur lp, probably not the one your looking for as I see the spelling is different

More or less medium I'd say, mostly a 40-60$ range, occasionally clears a 100+$ on ebay if it is in pristine condition, though.
Lacks a great track the BD reissue has but of course it gains appeal from being a self released firstpress. There is the saying the sleeves were assembled by the band members themselves, so, yeah.

Haha, no that is false urban legend. it was mfg just at a factory and all copies shrinkwrapped. I've seen a identical stack of 100+ copies of this record in the 90's at a mailorder dealers house.

I'm pretty sure the track lists are identical on the Roadster and Black Dragon issues?

I only have the Roadster press. Maybe another urban legend.
