Description
LP release 1986
1986 and 1987 have been hard years for the serious collectors. A lot of new titles were issued every other month, several of them in Germany, where the scene has been almost dried out now after big raids of the Phonographic Industry which put several 'out of business'. All of these issues were more or less limited editions from one to a few hundred copies. They did not, therefore, reach the level of general availability of Staatsgrenze West or Fassbinder Memorial Concert. Their limited availability also subjected them to much speculation and vast price differences
The Emerald Beyond, labelled as an Australian production but apparently from Germany, features an excellent recording of TD's encores at Detroit's Ford Auditorium on March 31st, 1977. The frantic crowd in the 'Capital of Heavy Metal' had driven TD to an almost unique performance of 'Heavy Metal Electronics'. Only 75 copies exist, 25 of them on red vinyl, the rest on the ordinary black, all with a black and white printed cover. Just four of them were sold in 1986 at extremely high prices, as during a campaign of the German Phonographic industry against the bootleggers all the rest had been confiscated in a police bust. In 1987, they were returned to the producer and appeared on the market.
