Description
Please read: I have listed this object as used but basically it is brand new, it has been in my LP collection for over 30 yrs untouched.
This auction is for the record album LP as seen in the pictures. Bonus EP is included. The original plastic is still on the dust cover and was played once on one side. The EP has never been played and both are in Mint condition. Having the EP included and both being in mint condition is what makes this so rare and more valuable. Most other auctions don't include it.
This is for the die hard Heavy Metal vinyl collector!!!!!! "With only 2,000 LP's printed, it is a very sought after and hard to find release."
I do not ship internationally, only within the 48 continental US..

Black Death are an American band who have been noted as the "first all-African-American heavy metal band."[1] The group were also mentioned in Ian Christe's book Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal.,[2] and mentioned Rock 'n' roll and the Cleveland connection by Deanna R. Adams as "one of the only, if not the only, all-black metal bands in the country" in 1987.[3][4]
Black Death was a nameless band in 1977 consisting of Greg Hicks, Phil Bullard, and Clayborn Pinkins.[5] Then in 1978 they recruited Reginal Gamble("Siki Spacek"). The Name Black Death was brought to the table by Hicks and Pinkins in 1979. That year Pinkins was shot and killed. Soon after Ed Goodan took over on bass. One year later Darrel Harris replace Goodan on Bass. The first recording was of one song called "Outcast" in 1980. Appropriately titled, that song was only aired on Brian Sergents ("serge") local college radio show. The response from that song generated interest from Sergent to put the band in the studio. The second recording was in 1981 at Angel studios and to date has never been released. The third was a Demo recorded at Suma studios in 1982. Two songs were featured on "Cleveland Metal Compilation". The fourth recording to was the now classic debut LP that was released by Auburn Records[6] in Cleveland Ohio.[7] With only 2,000 LP's printed, it is a very sought after and hard to find release. In 2007 Bullard and Mike Green recruited Siki and formed a new group called "Mandrake".[8] Soon after they parted ways with Siki due to his personal/substance abuse problems and recruited Greg Hicks on Bass.
