01-6806-SPV | Weinachts Botschaft | Here Comes Santa Claus / Schweinebells | 7" | 1989 | Not Metal. Novelty? Wikipedia mentiones a self-titled GOD B.C. album as this release, but while it's possible the band and label were in contact already back then, the GOD B.C. debut came out on Wild Rags and nowhere else. The SPV distribution code however places this 7"smack in the middle of HELL 03 and HELL 05. |
