Early works of beherit and mayhem

I keep seeing people posting that the early works of Mayhem need to be re-released. In what form? CD? Vinyl? I know that iTunes goes back to at least Deathcrush (seen it myself on there). So if your talking earlier than that as far as demos eBay is a nice place to start as most of them have been pressed in at least CD format.

I also agree with others that a remastered version of anything Bloodbath has done doesn't need to be put out. The only way I would accept a remaster of a Black or Death Metal record would be if it was offered as a 2-CD/Double (Quadruple in some cases??) LP that had both the original untouched recording and the remastered version. Therefore allowing us to compare but not forcing us into one version or the other and instead leaving it up to a matter of personal taste. Of course this will never happen......

I agree.

But it does happen from time to time. Toxaemia's stuff was rereleased as 2cd with both the original recordings and the remastered ones. Flotsam & Jetsam's Doomsday For The Deceiver was also rereleased like that.

Booya! Look what's on the top of the page! Finally, Winnipeg, Manitoba is on the map for something cool metal-related.

I honestly did not know about that. I am going to search for these and see if I can find them. Thanks for the heads up.

Toxaemia 2cd can be ordered directly from the US label Dark Descent, F&J 25th anniversary box was done by Metal Blade

Wow...again thanks for the info man. I'm gonna have to pick these up. Also, if anyone ever comes across the vinyl picture disc reissue of Mayhem's "Deathcrush" please let me know....pretty sure I would punch a baby in the face for that shit. Been looking for it for awhile now and this thread sort of jogged my memory a bit.

Btw, the vinyl pressing of the Toxaemia stuff does not include the remasters, reason for that can be read here.

What he said makes sense, just sucks that contracts and red tape get in the way of something so totally killer as 4 LP boxed set of the same material...

Either way though I need to go ahead and get a copy of at least the Toxaemia reissues since it's pretty much exactly what I was asking the Metal Gods for in that previous post. Wouldn't want to spit in their eye...
