THE STORY OF THIS LEGENDARY LP IS WELL KNOWN IN EXTREME METAL CIRCLES NOW, QUITE SIMPLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT FEATURES BATHORY, WHO ALONG WITH HELLHAMMER PAVED THE WAY FOR THE BIRTH OF BLACK METAL, FOLLOWING ON FROM THE BASICS LAID DOWN BY VENOM. THE TWO TRACKS HERE FROM BATHORY WERE RECORDED IN JANUARY 1984 ESPECIALLY FOR THIS RELEASE, AND WERE THE FIRST EVER STUDIO RECORDED PRODUCT FROM BATHORY. THE INITIAL BATCH OF 3000 LPS SOLD OUT VERY QUICKLY, AND REPRESSES FOLLOWED, HOWEVER, IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST PRESSING WHICH APPEARED WITH THE TYPHON LABELS, AS DISTRIBUTION BY RCA HAD BEEN ARRANGED BY THE SECOND PRESSING, AND THE SECOND PRESSING ONWARDS HAD BLACK RCA LABELS, AS WELL AS RCA LOGOS AND DETAILS ON THE REAR COVER. THE THIRD AND FOURTH PRESSINGS ALSO HAD A BARCODE.

THIS COPY YOU CAN BID ON HERE HOWEVER, HAS THE ORIGINAL LABELS AND TYPHON DETAILS ON THE REAR, SHOWING IT IS A MEGA RARE FIRST PRESSING FROM MARCH 1984. TO SEE THE COVER MORE CLEARLY, VISIT http://www.cultmetal.com/view.pl?album_id=397 ALTHOUGH THE ITEM PICTURED IS A THIRD OR FOURTH PRESSING. THE CHANCES OF COMING ACROSS ANOTHER COPY OF THIS ITEM ARE VERY SLENDER, BUT YOU CAN EITHER SPEND TIME LOOKING, OR JUST BID ON THIS ONE, WHICH IS IN UNPLAYED CONDITION, WITH NOT A MARK ON THE VINYL. REMEMBER ALSO THAT THE TRACKS FEATURED HERE ARE DIFFERENT RECORDINGS TO THOSE ON THE DEBUT LP AND ARE ESPECIALLY RAW AND PRIMITIVE.
