SUPER RARE NEW RENAISSANCE RECORDS RELEASE!!!

ITEM: "UNDER THE SIGN OF THE BLACK MARK" LP

YEAR: 1987

LABEL: NEW RENAISSANCE RECORDS (RARE!)

THIS IS A RARE, ORIGINAL VINYL COPY OF BATHORY'S "UNDER THE SIGN OF THE BLACK MARK" LP.  REALLY, NO INTRODUCTION IS NEEDED HERE!  NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE VINYL RELEASE OF THIS LP WAS ON NEW RENAISSANCE RECORDS!!!  HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT IT'S TRUE!  METAL ARCHIVES LISTS THIS LP AS BEING ON BLACK MARK.  I SAVED THE ORIGINA STICKER THAT CAME WITH THE LP WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT!  IT SAYS THAT IT IS ONE OF THE BEST DEATH METAL LPS EVER RELEASED (SEE PHOTO).  BUY THIS GEM/TREASURE TODAY BEFORE IT IS GONE!  ONE WORD HERE TOO..."EQUIMANTHORN"!  ONE OF THE BEST, SIMPLEST, MOST EFFECTIVE RIFFS IN HISTORY!

GRANT ME THE POWERS OF THUNDER, AND GIVE ME A SWORD RAGING IN HELL'S FIRES!!!

OVERALL, THIS LP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION CONSIDERING ITS AGE.  THERE IS ONE SLIGHT BEND NEAR THE UPC SYMBOL (SEE PHOTO), BUT IT DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTIFULNESS OF THIS RARITY!  MOST OF MY LPS HAVE BEEN KEPT IN SLEEVES AND I HAVE TRIED WITH THE UTMOST CARE OF THE YEARS TO KEEP THEM IN THE MOST PRISTINE CONDITION POSSIBLE.

IF ANY BLEMISHES, NICKS, TEARS, FOLDS, OR BENDS ARE WORTH NOTING I WILL DESCRIBE HER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.  ANY SPOTS IN THE PHOTOS ARE FROM MY CAMERA FLASH.
