Holy shit that's awesome. Wonder if it's archived on the internet somewhere

Nope, too much work even to just scan it in.

yeah, you can say so, an 'Alpha' version of it. Nowadays not fully accurate anymore, since the internet brought out so many new unknown bands and releases, but looking at what these 2 guys did without the help of the internet is more than impressive. But yeah, people did stuff back then, not sitting in front of a screen and playing dumbass shooting games.

Awesome dedicated effort! Where you got this if I may ask?

Connections, patience, money. It pops up from time to time in lists and then you have to be there. I held it 2x in my hands over a period of 25 years, the first time it was already assigned, the 2nd I got it handed over. Those have been non-listed items. Listed I saw it once, but it was already gone by then. Adding such things into the collection, I always see as a reward for a lifetime dedication to Metal.
