DEMO 1983: Midnight Madman, Mental Shadow, Black Hole

What's the sound quality on those songs? I have the complete demo, but not w/ "perfect" sound.

Not perfect, but you heard everything quite clear and so on. The vocals are extremely load compared to the music though, but its not impossible to listen to. Have you heard the Live track ??

Yeah, I should have the complete live concert.
The only bad thing to say about BLACK HOLE is that demo 83 and the live tape exposes their lackluster musical skills a bit more than is comfortable. Still I kinda dig that stale, "ungroovy" early version of "Mental Shadows" a lot.

Oh shit. Is it possible to put the whole Live preformance on a cd-r and send it to me ?? I am really intrested !! I can see you point there Dan, but I still think the demo songs are good songs actually, if you ingnore the weak musical skills then (but the lack of musical skills can often be something with a lot of charm, which is the case, i would say)

I think they still have some copies left...that's what Black Widow wrote to me:

"Yes we still have the Lp...15 years ago we bought directly from the band the remaining 200 copies!!!!
now only 3 survive!! this is the reason why is still available..."

Over 200 copies me thinks Smile

Shocked Shocked That would be awesome! One of my all time favourite vinyls to have in my favourite color, eh eh. It would fit perfectly to the cover art. Sten, why didn't you bought this!?!?

I used to loathe this album. The silly accent. The not-so-convincing organ. The nonexistent riffing. You name it.

Now I think it's great. I guess "Land Of Mystery" is an acquired taste. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

I got mine for 40 USD on ebay some half year ago, and it was near mint too. They robbed you.
