Description
VINYL LOOKS EXCELLENT. ONE VERY LIGHT SCRATCH (DOES NOT AFFECT SOUND AT ALL) SOME FINGERPRINTS. INNER SLEEVE HAS SLIGHTLY SPLIT AT BOTTOM COVER LOOKS GREAT, MINOR EDGE WEAR, ONE SMALL SPOT (SEE PHOTOS)
INFO BELOW - Released in a gatefold sleeve with the H.R. Giger paintings "Satan I" on the front, and "Victory III" inside.
- Green label copies did not come with a lyric inner sleeve as with other (later grey camo label) copies.
- The green label copies instead came with an inner sleeve advertising the Celtic Frost/Helloween/Grave Digger U.S. tour slated to start in April 1986. This tour did not happen (possibly a typo mistaking the line-up for the US tour with a Celtic Frost/Helloween/Grave Digger Euro tour in February 1986).
- Some copies then removed the inner sleeve and replaced it with a very similar single sided 12" insert advertising the Celtic Frost/Voivod/Running Wild U.S. tour that ran May to July 1986. Both advertise some new releases from Celtic Frost, Helloween, and Kreator among other Noise artists.
- Some copies also included an International Official Tour Merchandise order form. See photos.
- Three label variations exist: two with "city grey camo" labels Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion & Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion and one with green Combat labels (this entry).
- Copyright credits for H.R. Giger, T.G. Warrior, M. Ain and U. Sprenger pertain to artwork.
- Copyright credits appear for both the label Noise and the company Noise Records.
- Runout stamp: ᐉ (isosceles triangle on its side with a dot inside) Indicates Pressed By Hauppauge Record Manufacturing Ltd.
- F/W ¢ etched in runout indicate lacquer cut at Frankford/Wayne Mastering Labs and cut by Tom Coyne.
- Matrix / Runout (Side A runout): A-1 ᐉ MX·8091·A F/W ¢
- Matrix / Runout (Side B runout): A-1 ᐉ MX·8091·B
