Slaughter (Canada) Strappado (1987) Fringe Product [FPL3028]

This vinyl rip of the first pressing is insanely cool and pretty much a totally different mix to even the first CD version released the same year on the same label. Not sure why, both mixes slay, but this is slightly cooler with its echoey vocals and slightly more discordant overall sound. A true classic, top ten ever, even.
1.Strappado
2.The Curse
3.Disintegrator
4.Incinerator
5.Parasites
6.F.O.D. (Fuck of Death)
7.Tortured Souls
8.Nocturnal Hell
9.Tales of the Macabre

Sacrifice (Canada) Forward To Termination (1987) Metal Blade Records [72223-2]

1.Forward to Termination
2.Terror Strikes
3.Re-Animation
4.Afterlife
5.Flames of Armageddon
6.The Entity
7.Forever Enslaved
8.Cyanide
9.Light at the End

Strappado's a given and I'd say that Sacrifice one is pretty classic as well. War and Pain... well, it's no Killing Technology but I love its simplicity.

I've only got Strappado on CD so I'll just have to have a butcher's at this, to check out the vocals.

Man, that bass on Tales Of the Macabre is just killer and it sounds cooler here than on the CD. So I guess this means that I'm going to have to hunt the vinyl down now. UGH!
