Awesome.
I actually really "met" a guy some weeks ago from Sweden who in all honesty told me "Aaah, it's not that hard to get a yellow goat, i live 3 houses away from the place Quorthon lived"´, haha
That dude has an insance collection. He is a lot younger than me and has basically every, and i mean every rare record i could think of when it comes t traditional Metal. It's incredible.
According to him 95% of those are trades, he bought swedish singles en masse when they were cheap and later traded them to international contacts.
Just as examples (all first presses of course): White Goat, Yellow Goat,Flames of Hell, Street Child, Messiah, Emerald, Graven Image, Legend, Gotham City, .... it is fucking m.e.n.t.a.l.
Haha, well in the end I guess the record collector world isn't that big, atleast for underground metal. He's mostly into US metal though which is of no interest to me.
Yeah, You are probably right with that, i never was part of that "inner circle" of collectors so to speak, just traded here and there, but mostly bought from private sellers.
He is, which is of immense interest to me, hahaha
Yeah he paid a lot for some of those records. No judgement though, I spend a ton of money on records myself. I just spread my budget over many less rare records, he prefers a smaller collection with some ultra-rarities.
Don't know if there's such a thing as an 'inner circle'. I tend to keep a low profile but after all those years you get to meet, or atleast hear others talk about, a lot of the people with serious collections.
Yeah, that's why i wrote it in quotation marks. I just meant, i never traded that much and thus never got past that "occasional status", therefore never delved deeper into the trading scene.
Yes, it's not as pricey as the Black Mark pressings though. The later reissues got the fucked up remaster as well as a slightly different goat on the cover, so I'm glad to own this! The firstpress vinyls are way too pricey for me!

Must be Patrick? He's shelled out big time for some of those records though.
Into Glory Ride on

Sorry, I don't really understand... what do you mean with 'shelled out'? He paid a lot?
Into Glory Ride on
My guess would be he sorted out / sold a lot of them , cleaned his collection.
Der Todesking on
Ahh, ok! Thanks a lot my friend!

I had this edition but I gave to a friend because I have an original first press swedish (white goat) LP. But as I see nowadays this also rare item...

congrats - you were able to put your hands on one of these gems :) btw - do you know if there was an inner sleeve with this 87 UOF pressing ? cheers
Der Todesking on
Thanks! To my knowledge only the Black Mark press had the lyric sheet in there, but I could be wrong.
