fear factory - concrete

a lovely colour re-issue of fear factory's first full length recording, which was shelved back in the early 90's due to legal issues. 'soul of a new machine' became their official debut, but roadrunner acquired the rights and released it in 2002, after the band's first break-up. this is the 'decepticons' pressing out of 300 copies by real gone music. 2026.

ozzy osbourne - the ultimate sin (more 80's pressings)

bought these two pressings rather cheap with damages like seam-splits and sticker residues, which i were able to repair or remove respectively.
the copy on the left is one of quite a few variations which were produced upon time of release and the copy on the right is a european re-issue likely from 1987 or 1988. it was part of the cbs/sony 'nice price' campaign and came with an ad sheet. epic records/sony music.

for the first two albums ozzy's solo band was under contract at jet records from england. later pressings were issued by epic records and as i only had one of those copies, i was happy to track down an european first pressing. jet records. 1981.
