This weekend I’ve added another classic death metal album to my collection. It’s hard to believe someone would sell this for a few bucks to the local record shop, but I love them for it nonetheless. This is the original pressing on RoadRacer Records (RoadRunner Imprint) from 1989, catalog number RC-9511. It’s not in perfect condition but it still plays perfectly and has yet to leave my record player. The best part is I didn’t even pay $20 for it.
Last weekend’s record store trip gave me some good finds, but this one was probably the most unexpected. I was just flipping through the bins at my favorite store and there it was, Nebula’s debut album in vinyl form. The best part was it cost about the same as footlong sub at your favorite chain lunch spot. This album is on TeePee records and is catalog number TP-010.
Classic death metal albums are always what I’m looking to find and South Florida is a great hot spot for them. Even better is when it’s an album I’m actively looking for. Just a few weekends ago this gem landed in the used metal bin of my favorite local record store. Not only is this a classic and completely under-appreciated album, it is in seriously perfect condition. Baphomet came out of the Buffalo scene along with Cannibal Corpse & Malevolent Creation among others. They didn’t have the sustained careers of those bands but they still put out a classic album and looked awesome doing it (check out the inner sleeve photos). This is from 1992 on Peaceville records, catalog number Vile31. This was a great find at a tasty price.
