I don't disagree, but it's the marketplace we have along with eBay, and unfortunately real stores use the two sites (plus Popsike) to price their vintage records
It wasn't Discogs. It was 2020 and ignorant&stupid trendy people to be rough. The problem is the ignorant people who pay too much because they go with emotion, not brains, logic and real love for music. They just want to be trendy & different, cost whatever it cost. The vinyl bubble will burst eventually. This is still good time for CD's.
@@uunoturhapure 2020 didn't help - ironically I got heaps of well priced cds that year - but the prices of vinyl started going north 2017. The days of finding five dollar vinyl like in 2000 are gone, and not sure if the genie will ever go back in the bottle.
@@ExplosiveAction Agreed. I was there too. I think even best CD hunting years are already gone, like 2022 was the last good year to find really great deals. But the CD market is still very healthy, like vinyl was back in 2015 or so. Can't complain. It is just sad what happened with the vinyl. Let's hope the same thing will not came to CD's. Even if it means my collection would not be "expensive". I dont need it. Records used to be fun and affordable, of course there were rare & expensive records back then too, but it was different game. "Cult" items, remember? I mean, if the CD's became trendy people start to pay ridiculous amounts for example Suede or remastered J.Priest CD's just because it's on CD. Same happened with the vinyl. I understand people pay big money for stuff like 1st/early press underground metal (CD's), it is justified. Anyway, sorry for my bad english. Let's enjoy the music!
By around 2010 first press vinyls were already pricey. You pay for what you get. An original osmose prod copy will always be worth more than 100 bucks. Now things have got better with quality reissues as those made by HRR, osmose itself, peaceville, metal blade or noise rec. In the case of Sodom, it is impossible to get a good reissue. Recently I paid between 80 and 160 for their first four records each. All in great condition. Not a bargain, yet a fair price... thats the most I've paid. Keep metal
I have absolutely no clue on this genre of music, but I really enjoyed this video and your knowledge, so I checked out some of the bands and can understand the love for it, I have now subscribed so I can possibly find some new bands to listen to, awesome vinyl collections too :)
Thanks for the upload. Part of why I enjoy investing in vinyl is I was annoyed with paying insane import prices on CDs only to get a minimal return ($5 in most cases). Enjoy the music - priority. But it's also ok to not lose a ton of money.
Hi Simon!!! cool to see your most expensive records...... glad to see you have an OG Sortilege's debut album, a killer french heavy metal band and yes their english version is not as good the one sang in their native tongue. cheers and be well
Someone should made replica bootleg of early Sodom albums. No BS, just 1:1 artwork and use the 80's sound like those Razor re-issues. The prices are getting stupid.
Nice one! People who pay so much money for some paper and a piece of plastic are stupid... I always classed myself as an idiot, hahaha... The signature on the Sodom record is indeed Tom´s. I got a couple of things signed when we played with them. Is your innersleeve on the " Obsessed..." missing? My copy of the Demolition Hammer debut has a little cut out but it`s in NM condition. I payed around $5 in the 90s. I still have the OG tourshirt as well... AND: It still fits, hahaha...
Death Symbolic, Sodom Tapping the vein, the vinyl press from Nevermore Dreaming neon black are all expensive records. The original B....m pressings are pretty expensive. Lake of tears Moons and mushrooms also.
I've named part of a thick, unmanaged and messy forest after this album. Went walking in a storm, well off grid. Bluetooth speaker blasting this album and was totally lost in the dark for two hours. Incredable time.
Hails from Germany,Simon. Thanx for this great Video. I had 80% of the Vinyls that you showed, even the Demigod LP. Do you have the classic first LPs by Carbonized, Rottrevore, Moonblood, Katharsis. Judas Iscariot and the likes? Had them all, but I got completely broke and had to sell them in the Past. Now I try to go to have an new Collection since 8 years. Until now I have 4159 Original on all Formats(Vinyl,Tapes and CDs). I`m possessed by Black/Death/Funeral Doom Metal. By the Way....Do you know the Band Orrery from Austalian Soil? Excellent Instrumental Black Metal(I think Tasmania) Love your Metal Vids. Check out Fellwinter/Gauntlets Ring...Pure Moonblood/Judas Iscariot Worship.
Thanks mate! Not familiar with Orrery, but I've got quite a few Blood and Crescent releases of Fellwinter/Gauntlet Ring/Arbor etc. Great stuff. Carbonized I just have the reissue CD from a decade ago, same with Rottrevore, but I have all the Judas Iscariot on CD from Moribund.
Thanx for your Answer. Where I shall begin , where shall I stop. Born in 1972 and gone insane for Metal in the early 80ties, ``cause of my older Brother. My first LP was Powerslave for Christmas and things goes rolling. In my Area nearly every Boy was into Metal. my Friends were more into the extreme Side of Metal,so in the late 80ties it become Napalm Death(Lee Dorian forever), SOB, Heresy,Satanic Malfunctions,Extreme Noise Terror,Anal Massaker and the likes....then came the Death Metal Wave... Carnage,Carbonized,Nihilist,Therion....then came the Moment when I first herad the Debut of Burzum and I got completely mad....Had a bigger Impact on me than Darkthrone. THIS WAS DEPRESSION AND HATRED. Sold my whole Collection to Hellion Records for far to less Money (All first Press).....a reason was the Death of one of my best Friends....Dennis from CELTIC MOON/NIGHTWOLF(Check out)....I was so much in Contact with alot of Bands within Europe. I regret my Descision until my End. So.I can`t change it but total Depression....but now I must say : Far too much Bands, to less Quality(don`t get me wrong....For me Ildjarn is Quality). No Ideas....I refuse to listen new Bands on RUclips because I think it is completely gay. So, I buy alot and am disappointed,hahaha. Latest Buy... Slimelord(UK) and Tristitia-One with the Darkness on LP(Classic)(Pagan Rites Vocalist). Would be great if you answer. What`s your Opinion about Bands such as Drowning the Light,Eternum.Runespell and the Sort`s?
Not big on DtL but Eternum and Runespell are good. He's got a new band coming called Ancient Guard, out on Iron Bonehead in June. Big atmospheric pagan vibes.
It’s probably because I got into record collecting around 2014 but I always found records pre-21st century LPs to be fascinating. The simplicity with the jackets and labels are more eye pleasing I’d say. So jealous of the Nifelhiem record.
Cheers, Wyatt, and agree re: 80s and 90s records - great artworks but simple releases on black, usually not gatefolds, just the music. Yeah that Nifelheim was quite the grail to get! I've got the debut on original CD but a vinyl would be a great upgrade on that. I should have pointed out too that everything in this video was obtained in Australia, which can often add to the challenge, but I think I've done pretty well locally.
One advice that everybody knows by many years now. Don't do drugs guys,because if you have the luck of being Alive and clean,but realize that during those Hellish years of Addiction you did sold every single one of your's 847 Lp's,with some of them being very rare editions. Well,at least i have my life back,and that is more important than everything else. Ps: but i do miss my Records,every single day.
Cool... I have the Sodom ep by Devil's Records and also Obsessed By Cruelty same press as yours, plus Like An Ever Flowing Stream. Still the most expensive I have seems to be Ozzy's Ozzmosis that is listed from 400 to 800 euros, which is crazy
The top priced item, at least according to the current listings, is !T.O.O.H.! - Rad a Trest, which is very funny because I got it or $25 just a couple of years ago. I don't believe the guy who currently has it listed at $275 will actually be able to sell it for that, though. The next two are both The Chasm (Procession and Spell of Retribution). Then there's the clear pressing of The Crypt's Catacomb compilation, which most recently has gone for just under $100. After that, I would have to check, but I'm pretty certain that the original press of Obliveon's debut, original press of Coroner - RIP, 2LP clear pressing of Psychotic Waltz's debut, and the Nihilward Productions release of Abigor's Opus IV on 2x10" vinyl. Also the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab version of 'Stained Class'. There are some newer releases that sold out in a hurry and spiked in price, such as the Fvneral Fvkk album and the second Inanna, but I don't trust those prices because the moment either gets repressed, they become untenable.
I'd expect your Obliveon to be near the top. You are right on temporary modern pressing limitation prices, once the second identical press comes out, who cares. That's why MGLA stuff is never expensive - it's all one, repeated, pressing
I refuse to buy expensive vinyls, but I did buy Immolation - Providence, that was not cheap. Obliveon - From this day forward wasn’t cheap either. I did sell a bunch of vinyls, though. Something positive about buying all these new and fresh black metal LPs back in the early 90s 😅 Edit: Turns out I have the original 1995 pressing of Storm of the Lights Bane.
@@ExplosiveActionYeah, when I searched for it, I found only one for sale. On eBay. Not cheap. I’d recently sold a lot of BM albums, so I just bought it. I’m Norwegian and in the 90s there was all these fanzines and distro-labels, and we all played in bands. Fun time.
Just came across your RUclips channel and dig your content. Nice to see a metalhead my same age that doesn’t think the only good metal came out prior to 1992….lol A buddy and I started a podcast in January showcasing the best in metal every couple of weeks. Mainly focusing on more extreme genres but I’m a fan of just about every genre so I mention a lot of other stuff as well. If interested, check out the Harsh Vocals podcast. Seems our taste in metal maybe very similar. Cheers!
Cheers mate! Yeah If anything I am only finding older stuff pre 1985 NOW. I have a lot of killer 80s vinyl coming up soon enough, but my sweet spot is actually 1992-1995 in death and black metal, then the early 00's are a little bit average overall, but the last ten years have seen some stellar output.
@@ExplosiveAction this year has been crazy. We picked the perfect time to start the podcast. We thought the last 5 years or so has been crazy high in quality (especially with black, thrash and death metal) but this year has been insane. Eternal Storm, Dodsrit, Vorga etc etc. we have been discussing that if this keeps up it will be a tentpole year how people talk about 1986. The amount of one man projects and the amount of great black metal coming out of France lately has been incredible.
I have the only two Carnivore records in mint shape with lyrics sheets and drawings from the 1st,including the original plastic cover with price tags!! I know they're worth something good,right? Anyone know?? Please lmk
Since you're from Australia have you ever heard of Mortification and Horde? Mortification I'd recommend their first 3 albums the best. Horde is unblack metal. Just wondering. Awesome stuff
Here's my top my top 8 records - ordered with the med price - but I'll include the lo-med-hi prices. I haven't added the whole collection yet. 1 Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse £100.00 £249.02 £434.50 2 Hypocrisy - Penetralia £42.47 £195.56 £325.00 3 Repulsion - Horrified £80.00 £141.10 £188.91 4 Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park £76.45 £127.42 £186.88 5 Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade £115.92 6 Unanimated - In The Forest Of The Dreaming Dead £34.35 £115.92 £211.24 7 Brocas Helm - Black Death £68.70 £107.34 £568.80 8 Sodom - Persecution Mania £55.82 £102.99 £154.57
@@ExplosiveAction it's the blue version from 1992. Coloured vinyl in that year was as rare as hens teeth. I also got the Abigor box set on day of release, the covers where split and had to order new ones when it arrived. So, I have two sets of covers, ace wall art eh? The Unanimated - In The Forest Of The Dreaming Dead is always on sale for about £700, but no way as near as nice as that Dissection one pal.
I love that Abigor album. Just subscribed after you pulled that one out. Great call. Same can be said from me also regarding the Nifelheim, I've got that old LP! Cool you got it from someone in Blood Duster... that band was fuckin' awesome and no one ever talks about them! "Yeest" and "Str8 Out of Northcote" are fuckin' classic. I've heard Shane from Abyssic Hate played drums on "Yeest"! Not sure if that's true, but if it is....fuckin' hell, I like it even more. Cheers! Great taste, mate.
Nice collection mate! I'm envious. I do have that UOF of Under The Sign... by Bathory. Old black metal pressings don't come cheap. I got it for a reasonable price. I agree with you about the early works of the teutonic thrash bands being their best work. I actually like the first EP of Destruction over anything they did subsequently. Is that a German or US pressing of Obsessed By Cruelty? They had to re-record it if memory serves me right. The German sounding better to my ear. I've actually given up trying to find a good LP of it and would actually settle for a well-done bootleg CD. Just to get that German version.
Thanks mate! This is the German Steamhammer release of Obsessed by Cruetly, which is the re-record/fixed one. It's the original Metal Blade that was the accident (used the wrong mix).
@@ExplosiveAction Wow! I didn't know that it was a misprint. I thought it was supposed to be green because it was an import. I bought it 40 years ago in a record store when I was a teenager, lol. And yes it's an original Bernett Records version and it's in great condition.
@@FuriousMetal1968 The first French edition was a misprint indeed, that's why all those who bought it at the very beginning have all that version. I found it in a little second hand market 20 years ago for 18 €, lucky day.
I was lucky to pick up a copy of AFI's Sing the Sorrow for - what I considered outrageous at the time - a paltry $100 back in the day. Median on discogs right now is an insane $800. Ridiculous. I've grown to hate the used vinyl market.
Great collection, I am jealous of the Abigor box. I do have the first press Dissection. Black vinyl Nuclear Blast, prices it goes for now are insane. I bought it when it came out in 1995, paid around €12,50 which is around 20 aud. Some records have skyrocketed into outer space, just crazy.
I got my Emperor "Anthems..." LP literally for free. How selling for at least 70 quid in a halfway decent shape. Yeah, your Dissection sold for 25 DM back then but surprisingly the vinyls went fast. All I got was the digipak...
It really is stupid that there isn't a constant repress of Dissection LPs in the market, with the Necrolord artwork. It can't be that dificult and the quantity of Asian bootleg variants out there proves there's a need.
Black Horizon Music did a repress in 2006. I only picked up The Somberlain, stupid me, because I only had The Somberlain on picture. That was the only official vinyl release of that album from Nuclear Blast in 1996. But even those 2006 represses have gone way up in price. On the bright side there will always be enough vinyl to hunt for.
I really expected Weakling's Dead As Dreams album to be number one. I cannot find a copy for less than $1k these days, if I even find it at all on the internet. Hopefully someday I will be able to buy it. The Dissection album is amazing though, very nice that you own that.
@@ExplosiveAction Would you say Dead As Dreams is the ultimate holy grail vinyl for all of metal? Or black metal? Or are there other vinyl in the metal genre that is more sought after and more expensive?
@@warchild9381 probably not. That's a tough question to answer. I would say the most desirable aligns with its popularity, and that is the original "yellow goat" pressing of Bathory self-titled, routinely goes for $2000-4000 depending on condition. Weakling is definitely up there, along with first DSP pressings of the second wave Norwegian bands.
I think your category is more to Death and Doom Metal. I have O.G. pressings of heavy metal albums that are not death or doom that pull in prices way higher than most of those. LOL.
I have heaps of OG 80s heavy metal and thrash but they didn't crack the top 15. I did just get 20-25 presses from that era that I haven't shown yet, wonder if that will change things at all!
Metal is the ONE genre i have never really fallen into in all these years, but I have ALWAYS really admired the passion and addition to the whole scene.
When I was working in the record store in the early 90s, we never marked up albums that looked signed because we didn't have any way of authenticating that shit, so we just didn't go there. I'd probably do the same thing if I were opening a shop today, but it's still pretty fuckin' cool to come across that sort of thing!
I could smell that Demigod coming from the other side of the globe, hahaha. Fantastic video, I was looking forward to this one and enjoyed it all the way through. You know, Discogs really has that flaw where the prices of your collection differ from the prices on the actual record's page. Kinda really sucks. I might do one of these myself again some time.
I ordered all of the Dissection reissues from The End in 2014. All of them showed up with shipping slices at the top of the covers. The End refused to replace the records. They ended up refunding me 5$ a record. assholes. Im keeping "Storm" it has very minor cut. I still have my OG tour shit from 96 when they toured with Morbid Angel. Still looks new
Some absolute jaw droppers in there Simon! I always enjoy these types of video… as like you say… you get to see some absolute killer albums on show! It’s a while since I did one myself… so it might be time for a new one eh!🤘🏻
Great stuff here. I got my black vinyl og press of that dissection album upon release from my local store at the time. We can all talk about prices according to discogs but at the end of the day it's only what someone is willing to shell out. Definitely glad I got those og sodoms when they were relatively cheap. The early Bathory stuff I settled for the 2009 re releases. As always, keep up the awesome content!
Totally! And I think I made that point, this is really just an excuse to whip together a list video which people seem to like, however that's also why I go by Median Sold price - somebody if not multiple people have actually paid that price!
Nah Sadus and Sodom not hard to find, found both of mine in OZ😝 I paid close to full for Sadus but got my Sodom and Dismember for a song. Killer show off!! 😂Let’s be honest now.😝 have an awesome weekend mate
Have you ever seen a yellow Bathory debut in all your vinyl travels ? Awesome vid, my most expensive vinyl atm would be Incubus/Spectral Birth vinyl or my Fester Fanatics vinyl both I paid around 100 bucks Ive been wanting Obsessed by Cruelty for ages and is my favourite Sodom album Just subbed vinyl rules
10:50 got this in July last year as an 18th birthday present. It was at a small local record store (our only one) and my parents got it for I think £110. I love it
Wow great collection of metal records! I just discovered your channel and subbed you up, it always cool to find out what our records are going for, I mainly talk rock vinyl on my channel and share a few concert clips, thanks again for sharing the killer info, Peace!
Great albums ! The prices for OGs gone insane, but also some of those I ve never seen them in record stores even from late 90s ! I don’t know what is the issue with sodom or the rights and they do not re issue them, the demand is high!
@@ExplosiveAction I also have two pristine copies of Moonblood'd Blut&Krieg on LP plus the cassette version, lol. Iwas on quite good terms with Marcel. He would send me a copy of each release and I would simply wire some money over every couple of months or so. It's really funny to see that some stuff that he was struggling to get rid off now fetches a pretty dollar.
Some awesome stuff there! I'm not bothered about having OGs but I don't like to buy altered artwork if I can help it, so I had to jump on that Svart Demigod reissue. Great pressing and cheap too, like the Dissection these classics really shouldn't be hard to find. Never heard of Abigor back when that boxset came out, I had to have it :D paid a little short of that median almost 2 years back. It used to be Nachthymnen for me but Verwustung is edging it out now.
you showed one i'm jealous about some time ago.Impaled-mondo medicale.cant remember if you had the red or green.there are none for sale on discogs at the moment.if one apear for sale it will for sure have an asking price between 300-500 us $.i saw one on ebay and the seller asked 600 us $.did'nt even know it was on vinyl before you showed it in one of your videos
Yep I have the red one. If it makes you feel better, it's a terrible press. Quiet, lengthy gaps between tracks including the intro and outro which ruins them. The CD is superior
Damn very jealous of most of that stuff especially numbers 1 and 2 - I refuse to buy the Dissection reissues with the shitty plain logo covers - it looks like all OG Incantation LPs were red as Relapse had a tendancy to do just one colour pressings those days
Finally someone else feels the same way about that Abigor record as I do. In fact, it's my 3rd favorite by them!! It deserves a way better reputation!!
Great treasures! I've got that Bathory album and Sodoms too. Demigod album is a killer from my home country, I've got the Svart reissue and that's cool too. Love that album. But I really need that Dismember! I've got a reissue lp and og cd (that cd is quite pricy, Discogs median about 150 Australian dollars). Excluding boxes, the most expensive record in my collection at the moment is Death's og Symbolic, 300 euros (almost 500 Australian dollars). Those og Dissections are insanely expensive. Great band though.
Nice score on that Symbolic, even the limited reissues are pricey as it's not one that Relapse can put out every year. I have that Dismember cd, highly regarded as the mix was different on the very first press
Well jealous about that Abigor box set !! I hope they reissue them seperately at some point - Got the originals on cd, and the others on reissue vinyls
Great collection, love dissection i must buy Storm of the Light's Bane on vinyl also. I have Demigod on green vinyl, reissue and it's also one of the best Finnish DM, and also recommended Corpsessed or Krypts from Finland.
Just today a copy of Dissection -Storm of a light bane,firt press on black vinyl was sold on a Swedish auction site. It sold of the equivalent of 1930 aud.
I'm not surprised that this list contains quite a bit of black metal, I've sold a lot of BM vinyl for good prices, like Dissection. Mine was the 2006 repress, not the original like you, and I sold it for 233 € ! Luckily I'm not into very expensive stuff. I'm more into doom metal, post metal like Neurosis, weird shit like Unholy... My most expensive vinyls are in electronic music, for some reason people pay crazy prices for Shpongle albums. As an Aussie, you must know Disembowelment, and their triple LP boxset goes for good prices too. Mine was pretty scuffed, so I only sold it for 80 €. But the buyer was chuffed.
Yep I had the D set but sold it on for $250 I think - their single album on my original 90s CD feels right to me over a repress LP box. I have a couple of Unholy LPs and cds, the LPs are worth a little bit
With other words every old debut first press is going to be expensive. I thought no way I have any of those, turns out I have a third of them, and a nother 3-4 on CD, but I have no clue which press they are. Definitely early but not sure if first press. I lost my original collection and had to rebuy everything in the years after from second hand stores, so no clue what I have. But the original collection was all first presses as most stuff I bought right as it came out. It would all be pretty much mint today as they got plastic sleeved and well taken care of. Oh well.
I think many of us have storis about losing part of or even all their first collection, and then rebuying. Discogs is helpful in identifying the specific version you have, if you want to put the time in, but the main thing is enjoying what you have.
I had a copy of Satyricons Volcano on clear vinyl that I bought from red eye records when it was released and is it true that is limited? Unfortunately I don’t have it any longer as I lost my entire vinyl collection in bush fires
It was competitively priced with Discogs and E-Bay. At the end of the day I worried about airport shenanigans and the reality of paying $200 for a record. Cool to have but...
Haha it's not exciting. Never sold my cds. I 2001 I got into vinyl but had no body to guide me. Bought a lot. Had a vintage player but didn't know you had to calibrate these things - arm balancing, stylus care, even cleaning records. RUclips wasn't there yet to teach me haha. Got frustrated at the sound quality, surface noise etc and sold all my vinyl in 2007. Got back into the hobby in 2017 with and understanding of how to do things properly now and never looked back. I think I got back most the records I sold that actually mattered
Discogs has made from music pure speculation and business......Ridiculous....Enjoy always metal ,doesnt matter genre and press
I don't disagree, but it's the marketplace we have along with eBay, and unfortunately real stores use the two sites (plus Popsike) to price their vintage records
It wasn't Discogs. It was 2020 and ignorant&stupid trendy people to be rough.

You're giving me anxiety seeing these records out of plastic sleeves! Lol
Trust me they were sleeved as soon as I stopped filming lol. The sleeves glare on camera
Yes I was dying...looking at those sleeves.
@@gearcampradio my entire collection is sleeved in crystal blake sleeves
Thanks for the upload. Part of why I enjoy investing in vinyl is I was annoyed with paying insane import prices on CDs only to get a minimal return ($5 in most cases).
Enjoy the music - priority. But it's also ok to not lose a ton of money.
Absolutely. Music is first!
Hi Simon!!! cool to see your most expensive records...... glad to see you have an OG Sortilege's debut album, a killer french heavy metal band and yes their english version is not as good the one sang in their native tongue. cheers and be well
I have quite a handful of French heavy metal now! My favourites are Strattson and Demon Eyes
Love that Absu album.
I’ve still got the original 93 release on cd.
It's a great album and quite different from the ones that followed
Someone should made replica bootleg of early Sodom albums. No BS, just 1:1 artwork and use the 80's sound like those Razor re-issues. The prices are getting stupid.
The razor reissues look great!
@@ExplosiveAction Yes both official and those "Storm from the Past".. semi-official.
Just get the CD. It's the same music and I seriously doubt they still have the original Master tapes...
Nice one! People who pay so much money for some paper and a piece of plastic are stupid... I always classed myself as an idiot, hahaha...
The signature on the Sodom record is indeed Tom´s. I got a couple of things signed when we played with them. Is your innersleeve on the " Obsessed..." missing?
My copy of the Demolition Hammer debut has a little cut out but it`s in NM condition. I payed around $5 in the 90s. I still have the OG tourshirt as well... AND: It still fits, hahaha...
Records are not just paper and plastic. They're magical artifacts of metal.
Thanks for confirming the signature! Hmm I'll double check the inner
Death Symbolic, Sodom Tapping the vein, the vinyl press from Nevermore Dreaming neon black are all expensive records. The original B....m pressings are pretty expensive. Lake of tears Moons and mushrooms also.
Yep the originals from Varg are hugely pricey. If you check my CD version of the discogs video they were right at the top.
Tapping the Vein by Sodom is crazy expensive on Discogs
I did notice that! One I'll stick to the CD
I've named part of a thick, unmanaged and messy forest after this album. Went walking in a storm, well off grid. Bluetooth speaker blasting this album and was totally lost in the dark for two hours. Incredable time.
Hails from Germany,Simon. Thanx for this great Video. I had 80% of the Vinyls that you showed, even the Demigod LP. Do you have the classic first LPs by Carbonized, Rottrevore, Moonblood, Katharsis. Judas Iscariot and the likes? Had them all, but I got completely broke and had to sell them in the Past. Now I try to go to have an new Collection since 8 years. Until now I have 4159 Original on all Formats(Vinyl,Tapes and CDs). I`m possessed by Black/Death/Funeral Doom Metal. By the Way....Do you know the Band Orrery from Austalian Soil? Excellent Instrumental Black Metal(I think Tasmania) Love your Metal Vids. Check out Fellwinter/Gauntlets Ring...Pure Moonblood/Judas Iscariot Worship.
Thanks mate! Not familiar with Orrery, but I've got quite a few Blood and Crescent releases of Fellwinter/Gauntlet Ring/Arbor etc. Great stuff. Carbonized I just have the reissue CD from a decade ago, same with Rottrevore, but I have all the Judas Iscariot on CD from Moribund.
Thanx for your Answer. Where I shall begin , where shall I stop. Born in 1972 and gone insane for Metal in the early 80ties, ``cause of my older Brother. My first LP was Powerslave for Christmas and things goes rolling. In my Area nearly every Boy was into Metal. my Friends were more into the extreme Side of Metal,so in the late 80ties it become Napalm Death(Lee Dorian forever), SOB, Heresy,Satanic Malfunctions,Extreme Noise Terror,Anal Massaker and the likes....then came the Death Metal Wave... Carnage,Carbonized,Nihilist,Therion....then came the Moment when I first herad the Debut of Burzum and I got completely mad....Had a bigger Impact on me than Darkthrone. THIS WAS DEPRESSION AND HATRED. Sold my whole Collection to Hellion Records for far to less Money (All first Press).....a reason was the Death of one of my best Friends....Dennis from CELTIC MOON/NIGHTWOLF(Check out)....I was so much in Contact with alot of Bands within Europe. I regret my Descision until my End. So.I can`t change it but total Depression....but now I must say : Far too much Bands, to less Quality(don`t get me wrong....For me Ildjarn is Quality). No Ideas....I refuse to listen new Bands on RUclips because I think it is completely gay. So, I buy alot and am disappointed,hahaha. Latest Buy... Slimelord(UK) and Tristitia-One with the Darkness on LP(Classic)(Pagan Rites Vocalist). Would be great if you answer. What`s your Opinion about Bands such as Drowning the Light,Eternum.Runespell and the Sort`s?
Not big on DtL but Eternum and Runespell are good. He's got a new band coming called Ancient Guard, out on Iron Bonehead in June. Big atmospheric pagan vibes.
Thank you Simon! Nice video!!!
Thanks for watching!
It’s probably because I got into record collecting around 2014 but I always found records pre-21st century LPs to be fascinating. The simplicity with the jackets and labels are more eye pleasing I’d say.
So jealous of the Nifelhiem record.
Cheers, Wyatt, and agree re: 80s and 90s records - great artworks but simple releases on black, usually not gatefolds, just the music. Yeah that Nifelheim was quite the grail to get! I've got the debut on original CD but a vinyl would be a great upgrade on that. I should have pointed out too that everything in this video was obtained in Australia, which can often add to the challenge, but I think I've done pretty well locally.
"Nad seperators"
😂😂😂
One advice that everybody knows by many years now.
Don't do drugs guys,because if you have the luck of being Alive and clean,but realize that during those Hellish years of Addiction you did sold every single one of your's 847 Lp's,with some of them being very rare editions.
Well,at least i have my life back,and that is more important than everything else.
Ps: but i do miss my Records,every single day.
Good advice man. I've personally never bothered with drugs.. my addiction is physical media! Glad you turned your life around
@@ExplosiveAction 👍🤘
Cool... I have the Sodom ep by Devil's Records and also Obsessed By Cruelty same press as yours, plus Like An Ever Flowing Stream. Still the most expensive I have seems to be Ozzy's Ozzmosis that is listed from 400 to 800 euros, which is crazy
Wow that is ridiculous!
I love punk band poison ideas record “ record collectors are still pretentious arse holes” best title ever.
Hahaha that's great
The top priced item, at least according to the current listings, is !T.O.O.H.! - Rad a Trest, which is very funny because I got it or $25 just a couple of years ago. I don't believe the guy who currently has it listed at $275 will actually be able to sell it for that, though.
The next two are both The Chasm (Procession and Spell of Retribution).
Then there's the clear pressing of The Crypt's Catacomb compilation, which most recently has gone for just under $100.
After that, I would have to check, but I'm pretty certain that the original press of Obliveon's debut, original press of Coroner - RIP, 2LP clear pressing of Psychotic Waltz's debut, and the Nihilward Productions release of Abigor's Opus IV on 2x10" vinyl. Also the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab version of 'Stained Class'.
There are some newer releases that sold out in a hurry and spiked in price, such as the Fvneral Fvkk album and the second Inanna, but I don't trust those prices because the moment either gets repressed, they become untenable.
I'd expect your Obliveon to be near the top. You are right on temporary modern pressing limitation prices, once the second identical press comes out, who cares. That's why MGLA stuff is never expensive - it's all one, repeated, pressing
I refuse to buy expensive vinyls, but I did buy Immolation - Providence, that was not cheap. Obliveon - From this day forward wasn’t cheap either. I did sell a bunch of vinyls, though. Something positive about buying all these new and fresh black metal LPs back in the early 90s 😅 Edit: Turns out I have the original 1995 pressing of Storm of the Lights Bane.
I just got the reissues of the first two Oblievon! The originals were proving incredibly difficult to find.
@@ExplosiveActionYeah, when I searched for it, I found only one for sale. On eBay. Not cheap. I’d recently sold a lot of BM albums, so I just bought it. I’m Norwegian and in the 90s there was all these fanzines and distro-labels, and we all played in bands. Fun time.
Larmes de Héros = Tears From Heroes, in French. In Spanish that would be Lágrimas de heroes
Just came across your RUclips channel and dig your content. Nice to see a metalhead my same age that doesn’t think the only good metal came out prior to 1992….lol
A buddy and I started a podcast in January showcasing the best in metal every couple of weeks. Mainly focusing on more extreme genres but I’m a fan of just about every genre so I mention a lot of other stuff as well. If interested, check out the Harsh Vocals podcast. Seems our taste in metal maybe very similar. Cheers!
Cheers mate! Yeah If anything I am only finding older stuff pre 1985 NOW. I have a lot of killer 80s vinyl coming up soon enough, but my sweet spot is actually 1992-1995 in death and black metal, then the early 00's are a little bit average overall, but the last ten years have seen some stellar output.
@@ExplosiveAction this year has been crazy. We picked the perfect time to start the podcast. We thought the last 5 years or so has been crazy high in quality (especially with black, thrash and death metal) but this year has been insane. Eternal Storm, Dodsrit, Vorga etc etc. we have been discussing that if this keeps up it will be a tentpole year how people talk about 1986. The amount of one man projects and the amount of great black metal coming out of France lately has been incredible.
I had all of those and I gave those the good will.
Why?
@@ExplosiveAction So I could buy more cds
@@Borntolose1976 did good will pay you? Our charity stores don't pay
Ah, nice to know .. I have the 1st press vinyl of Dismember - Like an Ever Flowing Stream with all the autographs of all the band :)
Killer!
All those obscure albums I’ve never seen let alone heard of, for all those Australian dollars. Discogs have big old windows… 😂
Awesome🔥🔥 im jealous of those Sodom and Bathory records !
All killer!
I have the only two Carnivore records in mint shape with lyrics sheets and drawings from the 1st,including the original plastic cover with price tags!! I know they're worth something good,right? Anyone know?? Please lmk
As with all records, check on Discogs
Since you're from Australia have you ever heard of Mortification and Horde? Mortification I'd recommend their first 3 albums the best. Horde is unblack metal. Just wondering. Awesome stuff
Yep sure have. I agree the first three Mortification are their best. Horde is tough to find but I wouldn't mind it.
Here's my top my top 8 records - ordered with the med price - but I'll include the lo-med-hi prices. I haven't added the whole collection yet.
1 Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse £100.00 £249.02 £434.50
2 Hypocrisy - Penetralia £42.47 £195.56 £325.00
3 Repulsion - Horrified £80.00 £141.10 £188.91
4 Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park £76.45 £127.42 £186.88
5 Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade £115.92
6 Unanimated - In The Forest Of The Dreaming Dead £34.35 £115.92 £211.24
7 Brocas Helm - Black Death £68.70 £107.34 £568.80
8 Sodom - Persecution Mania £55.82 £102.99 £154.57
Some great ones there! Wow that Hypocrisy is really up there
@@ExplosiveAction it's the blue version from 1992. Coloured vinyl in that year was as rare as hens teeth. I also got the Abigor box set on day of release, the covers where split and had to order new ones when it arrived. So, I have two sets of covers, ace wall art eh? The Unanimated - In The Forest Of The Dreaming Dead is always on sale for about £700, but no way as near as nice as that Dissection one pal.
Got Dissection as a bootleg, frankly I don’t mind. It sounds amazing and it’s one of my favorite black metal records ever made (top 10 easily)
Amazing album!
Awesome collection ! 🤩💿🤘🔥
Thanks!
I love that Abigor album. Just subscribed after you pulled that one out. Great call. Same can be said from me also regarding the Nifelheim, I've got that old LP! Cool you got it from someone in Blood Duster... that band was fuckin' awesome and no one ever talks about them! "Yeest" and "Str8 Out of Northcote" are fuckin' classic. I've heard Shane from Abyssic Hate played drums on "Yeest"! Not sure if that's true, but if it is....fuckin' hell, I like it even more. Cheers! Great taste, mate.
Thanks for subscribing mate! Love the Duster!
@@ExplosiveAction hell yeah, cheers from San Diego!
Unreal like and share the video everyone
Nice collection mate! I'm envious. I do have that UOF of Under The Sign... by Bathory. Old black metal pressings don't come cheap. I got it for a reasonable price. I agree with you about the early works of the teutonic thrash bands being their best work. I actually like the first EP of Destruction over anything they did subsequently. Is that a German or US pressing of Obsessed By Cruelty? They had to re-record it if memory serves me right. The German sounding better to my ear. I've actually given up trying to find a good LP of it and would actually settle for a well-done bootleg CD. Just to get that German version.
Thanks mate! This is the German Steamhammer release of Obsessed by Cruetly, which is the re-record/fixed one. It's the original Metal Blade that was the accident (used the wrong mix).
So, I have an original pressing of Metallica Ride the Lightning French import and it's green instead of blue. Any idea what that might be worth?
That's the famous "misprint" version. If you have the original Bernett, Discogs says AU$250-$480 sale prices.
@@ExplosiveAction Wow! I didn't know that it was a misprint. I thought it was supposed to be green because it was an import. I bought it 40 years ago in a record store when I was a teenager, lol. And yes it's an original Bernett Records version and it's in great condition.
@@FuriousMetal1968 The first French edition was a misprint indeed, that's why all those who bought it at the very beginning have all that version. I found it in a little second hand market 20 years ago for 18 €, lucky day.
Fantastic video Simon!! I absolutely love those Abigor albums! Keep up the good work!!
Man those Abigors are all top tier
can you make a video on how you clean your records?
Already done! ruclips.net/video/EuAfH5f8Bu4/видео.html
Thwnk you for this video. Its shown me loads of great bands !
Great stuff!
I was lucky to pick up a copy of AFI's Sing the Sorrow for - what I considered outrageous at the time - a paltry $100 back in the day. Median on discogs right now is an insane $800. Ridiculous. I've grown to hate the used vinyl market.
Yeah it can be quite annoying. Discogs is great but also a curse. There are still good deals to be had if you look around.
Didn't Bathory release UTSOTBM on New Renaissance Records in 1987?
I heard that pressing is very sought after and pretty pricey.
Yeah there are multiple presses of all the Bathory; US, UK and Euro I think and all came out in 87.
The cool thing is that obsessed by cruelty and in the sign of evil have a double CD release
Classic stuff no matter what format
Great collection, I am jealous of the Abigor box. I do have the first press Dissection. Black vinyl Nuclear Blast, prices it goes for now are insane. I bought it when it came out in 1995, paid around €12,50 which is around 20 aud. Some records have skyrocketed into outer space, just crazy.
I got my Emperor "Anthems..." LP literally for free. How selling for at least 70 quid in a halfway decent shape. Yeah, your Dissection sold for 25 DM back then but surprisingly the vinyls went fast. All I got was the digipak...
It really is stupid that there isn't a constant repress of Dissection LPs in the market, with the Necrolord artwork. It can't be that dificult and the quantity of Asian bootleg variants out there proves there's a need.
Black Horizon Music did a repress in 2006. I only picked up The Somberlain, stupid me, because I only had The Somberlain on picture. That was the only official vinyl release of that album from Nuclear Blast in 1996. But even those 2006 represses have gone way up in price. On the bright side there will always be enough vinyl to hunt for.
Garfield in the right corner 😃
Love my Garfield phone!
I really expected Weakling's Dead As Dreams album to be number one. I cannot find a copy for less than $1k these days, if I even find it at all on the internet. Hopefully someday I will be able to buy it. The Dissection album is amazing though, very nice that you own that.
If I had it, it would be!
@@ExplosiveAction Would you say Dead As Dreams is the ultimate holy grail vinyl for all of metal? Or black metal? Or are there other vinyl in the metal genre that is more sought after and more expensive?
@@warchild9381 probably not. That's a tough question to answer. I would say the most desirable aligns with its popularity, and that is the original "yellow goat" pressing of Bathory self-titled, routinely goes for $2000-4000 depending on condition. Weakling is definitely up there, along with first DSP pressings of the second wave Norwegian bands.
I have both Carnivore lps in mint cond and they worth big bucks here in the states.
I have the first Carnivore LP, it was close to making the list actually!
I think your category is more to Death and Doom Metal. I have O.G. pressings of heavy metal albums that are not death or doom that pull in prices way higher than most of those. LOL.
I have heaps of OG 80s heavy metal and thrash but they didn't crack the top 15. I did just get 20-25 presses from that era that I haven't shown yet, wonder if that will change things at all!
@@ExplosiveAction Have you graded them and put them into your catalog at Discogs?
@@AudioGuyBrian everything is in my discogs yep, I am pretty bad at grading things I get outside discogs so most I've not got gradings for.
Abigor and Lamp of Murmuur...awesome!
Yeah surprising to see newer titles up there
Storm of the lights bane is an absolute classic. I’m not surprised it goes for that much.
For sure a classic, but for that reason it should be as easy to get as Darkthrone albums. I mean those things are almost in cornflakes boxes.
Metal is the ONE genre i have never really fallen into in all these years, but I have ALWAYS really admired the passion and addition to the whole scene.
Good stuff mate, nice to see a positive take from a non fan.
00:10:49 Ah yes, the mighty BATLORD
I also show a great WODOS album
sorry, that's ratlord
What's the music playing in the video?
Just a free RUclips library track looped!
When I was working in the record store in the early 90s, we never marked up albums that looked signed because we didn't have any way of authenticating that shit, so we just didn't go there. I'd probably do the same thing if I were opening a shop today, but it's still pretty fuckin' cool to come across that sort of thing!
Yeah it was neat to realise it was signed when I was flicking through the racks!
I could smell that Demigod coming from the other side of the globe, hahaha. Fantastic video, I was looking forward to this one and enjoyed it all the way through. You know, Discogs really has that flaw where the prices of your collection differ from the prices on the actual record's page. Kinda really sucks. I might do one of these myself again some time.
Haha mate if you enjoyed this one, you'll lose your mind over some I have coming up ;)
Channeling is my 3rd favorite Abigor record. I agree it’s underrated and doesn’t seem to be included in the “classic” era.Jelious of that box set.
Such a great album, and yeah the Hornix box set is essential!
I ordered all of the Dissection reissues from The End in 2014. All of them showed up with shipping slices at the top of the covers. The End refused to replace the records. They ended up refunding me 5$ a record. assholes. Im keeping "Storm" it has very minor cut. I still have my OG tour shit from 96 when they toured with Morbid Angel. Still looks new
Oh man, I wish there were an Angry emoji on RUclips! That is appalling from The End.
Excellent stuff, bravo Sir.
Thanking you!
Was lucky enough to find the Sortilege (english version) recently for a decent price, record rules! Cheers man
Awesome album!
Sortilège ❤❤❤❤❤❤ tu as aussi l'album de ADX exécution ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 👍👍👍
Some absolute jaw droppers in there Simon! I always enjoy these types of video… as like you say… you get to see some absolute killer albums on show! It’s a while since I did one myself… so it might be time for a new one eh!🤘🏻
Do it man, love to see one! Thanks for watching!
In french it means tear drops of the heroes!
Great to know, thanks!
Great stuff here. I got my black vinyl og press of that dissection album upon release from my local store at the time. We can all talk about prices according to discogs but at the end of the day it's only what someone is willing to shell out. Definitely glad I got those og sodoms when they were relatively cheap. The early Bathory stuff I settled for the 2009 re releases. As always, keep up the awesome content!
Totally! And I think I made that point, this is really just an excuse to whip together a list video which people seem to like, however that's also why I go by Median Sold price - somebody if not multiple people have actually paid that price!
Nah Sadus and Sodom not hard to find, found both of mine in OZ😝 I paid close to full for Sadus but got my Sodom and Dismember for a song. Killer show off!! 😂Let’s be honest now.😝 have an awesome weekend mate
Found all of these in Aus, except the Abigors and Lamp LPs! All the OGs local.
Have you ever seen a yellow Bathory debut in all your vinyl travels ?
Awesome vid, my most expensive vinyl atm would be Incubus/Spectral Birth vinyl or my Fester Fanatics vinyl both I paid around 100 bucks
Ive been wanting Obsessed by Cruelty for ages and is my favourite Sodom album
Just subbed vinyl rules
Thanks for the sub! Yeah my mate also in Sydney area has the original yellow goat. He paid quite a bit for it, but it's worth it.
ill save your time Ricky Martin #2 Spice Girls #1
The spice must flow!
🫣😆
10:50 got this in July last year as an 18th birthday present. It was at a small local record store (our only one) and my parents got it for I think £110. I love it
What a great birthday present! They paid about the going rate too
Wow great collection of metal records! I just discovered your channel and subbed you up, it always cool to find out what our records are going for, I mainly talk rock vinyl on my channel and share a few concert clips, thanks again for sharing the killer info, Peace!
Hey thanks for stopping by, and for the sub!
I have a poster signed by Tom Angelripper from 15 years back and that signature on Obsessed by Cruelty is damn close to mine.
Great to validate that!
Great albums ! The prices for OGs gone insane, but also some of those I ve never seen them in record stores even from late 90s ! I don’t know what is the issue with sodom or the rights and they do not re issue them, the demand is high!
Cheers! There are still well priced original presses of albums out there
Katharsis - 666 Sombre Recs original press :)
Don't have that one!
@@ExplosiveAction I also have two pristine copies of Moonblood'd Blut&Krieg on LP plus the cassette version, lol. Iwas on quite good terms with Marcel. He would send me a copy of each release and I would simply wire some money over every couple of months or so. It's really funny to see that some stuff that he was struggling to get rid off now fetches a pretty dollar.
Wish I would have never sold my copy.
Some awesome stuff there! I'm not bothered about having OGs but I don't like to buy altered artwork if I can help it, so I had to jump on that Svart Demigod reissue. Great pressing and cheap too, like the Dissection these classics really shouldn't be hard to find. Never heard of Abigor back when that boxset came out, I had to have it :D paid a little short of that median almost 2 years back. It used to be Nachthymnen for me but Verwustung is edging it out now.
The Abigor set is well worth that price!
Blood duster rules dude ... Noone knows about them!!!
They were a big deal here in the 90s early 2000s!
everyone that knows whats good music knows blood duster
I know of Blood Duster, seen them countless times and have met them. But I am from Australia.
you showed one i'm jealous about some time ago.Impaled-mondo medicale.cant remember if you had the red or green.there are none for sale on discogs at the moment.if one apear for sale it will for sure have an asking price between 300-500 us $.i saw one on ebay and the seller asked 600 us $.did'nt even know it was on vinyl before you showed it in one of your videos
Yep I have the red one. If it makes you feel better, it's a terrible press. Quiet, lengthy gaps between tracks including the intro and outro which ruins them. The CD is superior
nippelheim got me laughing
Hahaha!
Awesome metal video just got done listening to Metallica kill Em All Megaforce cd press
What a classic.
Damn very jealous of most of that stuff especially numbers 1 and 2 - I refuse to buy the Dissection reissues with the shitty plain logo covers - it looks like all OG Incantation LPs were red as Relapse had a tendancy to do just one colour pressings those days
PS that Demo Hammer cover art is arse but the jorts band photo saves it
BLASPHEMY.
Kinda jealous when I saw that Lamp of Murmuur record. I do enjoy collecting black metal vinyl myself, don't have any Lamp stuff yet.
That one was very limited! Lots of refreshing Death Kvlt's site until it was listed and then checking out in seconds
Finally someone else feels the same way about that Abigor record as I do. In fact, it's my 3rd favorite by them!! It deserves a way better reputation!!
You know, I could argue it for third place too. Verwustung is my favourite. Then probably Opus IV. Could for sure see Quintessence as third.
I'm speculating, but I think W.T.C. may do a color pressing of the Abigor LP......
That wouldn't surprise me, really. I'm happy with this edition though!
Great treasures! I've got that Bathory album and Sodoms too. Demigod album is a killer from my home country, I've got the Svart reissue and that's cool too. Love that album. But I really need that Dismember! I've got a reissue lp and og cd (that cd is quite pricy, Discogs median about 150 Australian dollars). Excluding boxes, the most expensive record in my collection at the moment is Death's og Symbolic, 300 euros (almost 500 Australian dollars). Those og Dissections are insanely expensive. Great band though.
Nice score on that Symbolic, even the limited reissues are pricey as it's not one that Relapse can put out every year. I have that Dismember cd, highly regarded as the mix was different on the very first press
Well jealous about that Abigor box set !! I hope they reissue them seperately at some point - Got the originals on cd, and the others on reissue vinyls
They are releasing most of those Abigor individually I think, or at least they have in recent years.
Where's the Yellow Goat?
Don't own it! My buddy does though and I fondled it very closely.
Great collection, love dissection i must buy Storm of the Light's Bane on vinyl also. I have Demigod on green vinyl, reissue and it's also one of the best Finnish DM, and also recommended Corpsessed or Krypts from Finland.
Love Krypts especially, one of the best modern Finnish bands.
Just today a copy of Dissection -Storm of a light bane,firt press on black vinyl was sold on a Swedish auction site.
It sold of the equivalent of 1930 aud.
That's ridiculous... Wow
I will get the reissues even they go 4 big bucks 2 nice rundown Simon
Yes sometimes it doesn't take long for a reissue to be worth more!
I'm not surprised that this list contains quite a bit of black metal, I've sold a lot of BM vinyl for good prices, like Dissection. Mine was the 2006 repress, not the original like you, and I sold it for 233 € ! Luckily I'm not into very expensive stuff. I'm more into doom metal, post metal like Neurosis, weird shit like Unholy... My most expensive vinyls are in electronic music, for some reason people pay crazy prices for Shpongle albums.
As an Aussie, you must know Disembowelment, and their triple LP boxset goes for good prices too. Mine was pretty scuffed, so I only sold it for 80 €. But the buyer was chuffed.
Yep I had the D set but sold it on for $250 I think - their single album on my original 90s CD feels right to me over a repress LP box. I have a couple of Unholy LPs and cds, the LPs are worth a little bit
With other words every old debut first press is going to be expensive. I thought no way I have any of those, turns out I have a third of them, and a nother 3-4 on CD, but I have no clue which press they are. Definitely early but not sure if first press. I lost my original collection and had to rebuy everything in the years after from second hand stores, so no clue what I have. But the original collection was all first presses as most stuff I bought right as it came out. It would all be pretty much mint today as they got plastic sleeved and well taken care of. Oh well.
I think many of us have storis about losing part of or even all their first collection, and then rebuying. Discogs is helpful in identifying the specific version you have, if you want to put the time in, but the main thing is enjoying what you have.
I'm lucky then because I have all the staff! :)
hmmm...i have a few of those...from back when i still had hair :) Nice video.
Haha! Thanks for watching! Glad you still have some of these.
I had a copy of Satyricons Volcano on clear vinyl that I bought from red eye records when it was released and is it true that is limited? Unfortunately I don’t have it any longer as I lost my entire vinyl collection in bush fires
Sorry to hear that! I mean, all vinyl is limited in some way, but yeah that's a $500 edition every day. I had it too and also bought it from Red Eye!
Just FYI, 'Heir' is pronounced like 'air'. The H is silent.
Bloody silent letters, get me every time!
Debated pulling the trigger on Under the Sign of the Black Mark back in November. I was on a trip to Stockholm and a shop had it for about $200 USD.
That feels a bit too high really. I think I paid AU$150 and it's near mint, about $90 USD
It was competitively priced with Discogs and E-Bay. At the end of the day I worried about airport shenanigans and the reality of paying $200 for a record. Cool to have but...
had some of those on tape back in the day I cry now cause I sold almost all as I was going to college😭
Hey you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes man!
When you have a Canadian pressing you’re looking at the price of the Canadian pressing right?
Correct, whatever is the exact press I own as logged in Discogs.
@@ExplosiveAction ok whew had me worried their mate haha
People pay that much for absolute abysmal production values of Ratlord??? What a wacky world we live in!
Yellow goat can reach three grand on a good day!
@@ExplosiveAction This is clearly the devil's work!!
Explosive action sounds like my morning @ meditation “
Mine too
Grave, one of my favorite bands.
Amazing collection sir!
Thank you!
Awesome logo reminds me of Werewolf Satanic Warmaster 😮
Hah! Not a thought I had
I am interested in hearing that story about you selling your entire collection lol
Haha it's not exciting. Never sold my cds. I 2001 I got into vinyl but had no body to guide me. Bought a lot. Had a vintage player but didn't know you had to calibrate these things - arm balancing, stylus care, even cleaning records. RUclips wasn't there yet to teach me haha. Got frustrated at the sound quality, surface noise etc and sold all my vinyl in 2007. Got back into the hobby in 2017 with and understanding of how to do things properly now and never looked back. I think I got back most the records I sold that actually mattered
Damn that lamb of murmur stuff is so expensive 😢
Yeah that release was limited, but it did have a more widely accessible version
The cover of Storm of the Lights Bane is also such a beautiful cover.
An absolute classic Necrolord piece
