---------------------------------------------------------------------
I've decided to make a special rip to celebrate my entrance in the 5000+ club in this wonderful forum
(thanks Strappado, Runningwild, Jasonkont and the other guys)!

This is the holy grail of the heavy metal collectors, the rarest of the rare records, fetching for years more than 2k$!!!
Many dumb ass record thieves (I had recently a cute dialogue with one of them in a relevant post in this forum) still sell it for such prices.

Hey guys, didn't you notice the economic crisis all around the world??

Anyway, for the majority of pure metal-heads who just want to listen to this record and not necessarily to have it in their collection, then here is your chance.

Enjoy!!! (airguitar)

Mike Conroy - Lead Guitar, Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals
James Shumake - Rhythm Guitar, Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals
Carlton Duncan - Bass, Backing Vocals
Kelvin Lunsford - Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals

I don't know where Ripper got this.

But as information to anyone interested, the sound of this rip is like shit.
Also, it misses almost 15 seconds on the beginning of "I Don't Care".

I like the record - but i agree with Ripper. Overpriced as fuck.

hi metalhuhn! i got this through CDr-trading a couple of years ago...are you sure it's missing 15 seconds?
the length of the track seems correct however... the sound is ok, may be not perfect but if you decrease the treble and increase the bass you 'll get a better sound.

Perfectly sure your 2nd track misses almost 15 seconds in the beginning.
Hasn't nothing to with trebble or bass. It just lacks a small part of the music.
Anyways your rip is on the hole of oblivion now. I don't need it.

It seems that Jim Shumake decided to unearth some of his sealed copies from a dusty attic or basement, so another US metal rarity is about to become accessible to more collectors. I still lauph with those pretending some years ago that only 10 copies ever existed and demanding 4 digit $!

[Strappado]

Haha yeah it have dropped in price a lot
last two Ebay auctions ended at 500$ which was the starting price with only 1 bid

I think Jim Shumake is the seller, he have a 3rd copy up for auction now

Awesome sound! I cleaned it up and made adjustments for the bass/treble levels myself; sounds pretty good to me! Well, I've been cleaning and remastering vinyl for over 15 years now; I oughtta be able to do something with it!

[headless.cross]

Can we somehow have a taste of your creation?

Could you share your version? Surely it sounds a bit better.

Awesome username by the way, Samain is an underappreciated band.

Don't that tape cassette is a bootleg. The tape contains the missing 16 seconds of "I don't care". Also they extended intro of "Sacrifice". I have the tape too. I also have the album on vinyl the only official release. I already ripped from the vinyl and I uploaded the full official version of the song "I don't care"


I'll try to figure out how to upload my vinyl rips here later. Enjoy.

Here's the cassette version:

It's clearly a bootleg, not sure of the exact date of manufacture, how many copies were pressed etc.
