Description

BAND: BATHORY

ITEM: "THE RETURN" LP

YEAR: 1985

LABEL: COMBAT RECORDS

THIS IS A RARE, ORIGINAL COPY OF BATHORY'S "THE RETURN" LP. OK...HERE IT IS...ONE OF THE HOLY GRAILS OF BLACK METAL! THIS LP WAS A FOLLOW UP TO THEIR DEBUT...NOT MUCH MORE CAN BE SAID ABOUT THIS LP! I RECENTLY SOLD MY AUTHENTIC 1ST ISSUE BATHORY SHIRT. I WILL PROBABLY MISS ALL OF THE STUFF I AM SELLING, BUT I NEED TO MAKE ROOM! MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN! THIS IS EVIL IN ITS PUREST FORM!

BORN FOR BURNING!

OVERALL, THIS LP IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION CONSIDERING ITS AGE. 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.

LISTEN TO THE FOLLOWING SONGS HERE:

"TOTAL DESTRUCTION" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sem_3Gm3n48

"BORN FOR BURNING" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e01CE8DFgqI

"THE WIND OF MAYHEM" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giJloANOU9I

CONDITIONS:

I'VE NOTICED THAT MY STANDARDS OF GRADING ARE FAR MORE STRICTER THAN THE AVERAGE EBAYER. WHEN ORDERING, I EXPECT MY ITEMS TO BE IN THE CONDITION THEY ARE DESCRIBED. I'VE WON RECORDS/CDS WHEREAS THE SELLER BELIEVES THE ITEM TO BE IN GREAT CONDITION AND I BELIEVE OTHERWISE. I BELIEVE MY CONDITION JUDGMENTS ARE MORE THAN FAIR AND ACCURATE. BID KNOWING THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE EXACTLY WHAT I DESCRIBE.

*GRADING SCALE <MINT / NEAR MINT / EXCELLENT / VERY GOOD / GOOD>

JACKET: EXCELLENT

RECORD SLEEVE: EXCELLENT (2 EDGE SEPARATIONS - SEE PHOTOS)

RECORD: EXCELLENT (NO SCRATCHES)

INSERTS: NONE

THIS RECORD WOULD MAKE A NICE ADDITION TO SOMEONE'S LP COLLECTION. UNFORTUNATELY I AM GETTING OLD AND RUNNING OUT OF SPACE. I MUST MAKE ROOM FOR FUTURE FAMILY ADDITIONS.

REALLY, NO INTRODUCTION IS NEEDED HERE - OWN IT TODAY!!!!

Quorthon explains the name:
"We wanted people to just read out "The return..." - as in a second album or a
follow-up - and then flip the album over to look for a tracking list. Not
finding one, what they got was this apocalyptic poem with the song titles woven
into it. Only after listening through the album to the end would you get the
full title of the album: THE RETURN OF THE DARKNESS AND EVIL.''

Vinyl/cassette versions: the tracks "Sadist" and
"Bestial Lust" are swapped on the tracklist and lyrics sheet (vinyl). Also,
"Revelation of Doom" is unlisted on the vinyl except in the "tracklist poem"
which appears on the back cover. The vinyl and cassettes were distributed in the
United States by Relativity/Combat Records.

The 2003 reissue has 'Revelation of Doom' and 'Total Distruction' as one track,
aswell as 'The Rite of Darkness' and 'Reap of Evil' are one track. 1. Revelation of Doom 2. Total Destruction 3. Born for Burning 4. The Wind of Mayhem 5. Bestial Lust 6. Possessed 7. The Rite of Darkness 8. Reap of Evil 9. Son of the Damned 10. Sadist (Tormentor) 11.
