Yep sure have. I agree the first three Mortification are their best. Horde is tough to find but I wouldn't mind it.

The top priced item, at least according to the current listings, is !T.O.O.H.! - Rad a Trest, which is very funny because I got it or $25 just a couple of years ago. I don't believe the guy who currently has it listed at $275 will actually be able to sell it for that, though. The next two are both The Chasm (Procession and Spell of Retribution). Then there's the clear pressing of The Crypt's Catacomb compilation, which most recently has gone for just under $100. After that, I would have to check, but I'm pretty certain that the original press of Obliveon's debut, original press of Coroner - RIP, 2LP clear pressing of Psychotic Waltz's debut, and the Nihilward Productions release of Abigor's Opus IV on 2x10" vinyl. Also the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab version of 'Stained Class'. There are some newer releases that sold out in a hurry and spiked in price, such as the Fvneral Fvkk album and the second Inanna, but I don't trust those prices because the moment either gets repressed, they become untenable.

All these records jam...

One advice that everybody knows by many years now. Don't do drugs guys,because if you have the luck of being Alive and clean,but realize that during those Hellish years of Addiction you did sold every single one of your's 847 Lp's,with some of them being very rare editions. Well,at least i have my life back,and that is more important than everything else. Ps: but i do miss my Records,every single day.

Haha it's not exciting. Never sold my cds. I 2001 I got into vinyl but had no body to guide me. Bought a lot. Had a vintage player but didn't know you had to calibrate these things - arm balancing, stylus care, even cleaning records. KZread wasn't there yet to teach me haha. Got frustrated at the sound quality, surface noise etc and sold all my vinyl in 2007. Got back into the hobby in 2017 with and understanding of how to do things properly now and never looked back. I think I got back most the records I sold that actually mattered

Channeling is my 3rd favorite Abigor record. I agree it’s underrated and doesn’t seem to be included in the “classic” era.Jelious of that box set.

@@ExplosiveAction it's the blue version from 1992. Coloured vinyl in that year was as rare as hens teeth. I also got the Abigor box set on day of release, the covers where split and had to order new ones when it arrived. So, I have two sets of covers, ace wall art eh? The Unanimated - In The Forest Of The Dreaming Dead is always on sale for about £700, but no way as near as nice as that Dissection one pal.

I'm lucky then because I have all the staff! :)

I'm speculating, but I think W.T.C. may do a color pressing of the Abigor LP......

Someone should made replica bootleg of early Sodom albums. No BS, just 1:1 artwork and use the 80's sound like those Razor re-issues. The prices are getting stupid.

Just get the CD. It's the same music and I seriously doubt they still have the original Master tapes...

I was lucky to pick up a copy of AFI's Sing the Sorrow for - what I considered outrageous at the time - a paltry $100 back in the day. Median on discogs right now is an insane $800. Ridiculous. I've grown to hate the used vinyl market.

Yeah it can be quite annoying. Discogs is great but also a curse. There are still good deals to be had if you look around.

Unreal like and share the video everyone

With other words every old debut first press is going to be expensive. I thought no way I have any of those, turns out I have a third of them, and a nother 3-4 on CD, but I have no clue which press they are. Definitely early but not sure if first press. I lost my original collection and had to rebuy everything in the years after from second hand stores, so no clue what I have. But the original collection was all first presses as most stuff I bought right as it came out. It would all be pretty much mint today as they got plastic sleeved and well taken care of. Oh well.

@ExplosiveAction

I think many of us have storis about losing part of or even all their first collection, and then rebuying. Discogs is helpful in identifying the specific version you have, if you want to put the time in, but the main thing is enjoying what you have.

In french it means tear drops of the heroes!

Nice one! People who pay so much money for some paper and a piece of plastic are stupid... I always classed myself as an idiot, hahaha... The signature on the Sodom record is indeed Tom´s. I got a couple of things signed when we played with them. Is your innersleeve on the " Obsessed..." missing? My copy of the Demolition Hammer debut has a little cut out but it`s in NM condition. I payed around $5 in the 90s. I still have the OG tourshirt as well... AND: It still fits, hahaha...
