Bootleg-LPs + 10" and 12" singles

As I wrote in my last post regarding 7" bootlegs, I don´t collect any of these releases. When I see them for sale online I will save the pictures and any desciption regarding quantity, different editions etc, but that´s it.

Here we go!

THE EARLY RITUALS - LP

This probably the first bootleg LP issued on Ghost.

Only one side of the LP is playable as the other is a screen print. The different versions available:

Black vinyl with dark blue print.

White vinyl with light blue print.

White vinyl with red print.

It contains the three demos that the band recorded and distributed freely in late summer 2010.

There are supposedly 250 copies of each version, but I think that is onylt rue for the latter two. 

The black vinyl edition was the first to reach the market and it was either made in bigger quantities or it was reprinted at some point. There are simply too many black vinyls out there for it to only exist in 250 copies.

LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO - 13 DATES OF DOOM

The show was recorded at the "Bottom Of The Hill" clum in San Francisco on February 1, 2012, but this album was not released until more than a year later, mid 2013.

It was made in 10 copies total (five copies black vinyl, and five copies clear vinyl) and also comes with a certificate of which number you have. It is also individually numbered on the back cover.

A GHOLISH TALE

Great sounding (soundboard) recording of four tracks from the band´s appearance at the Graspop Metal Meeting on June 30, 2013.

This album comes in two different editions, each produced in 250 copies.

Well, look at the pictures above. The green is glow in the dark material and it is reversed on the two editions.

HAUNTED LUXEMBOURG
Recorded at the Herchesfeld Roesler Festival Grounds on July 1, 2014, as support to Iron Maiden.
This is a quite nice release with a very good overall design. As shown above, the vinyl comes in three different editions in various colours + a black testpress edition. Each album also comes in a plastic sleeve with a sticker. Each colour of the vinyl is matched by the colour of the sticker. Great!
 If you are into collecting vinyl bootlegs, this is one of best ones out there.

LIVEEVIL - VOLUME ONE

Not sure if this is really an unofficial release, I would say that this is semi-official, if there is such a thing? Only one Ghost song (the standard studio version of "Death knell") and the rest are various artists, all of whom are probably also a part of the "Liveevil"-festival.

500 copies and not very hard to track down.

INFESTISSUMAM PICTURE DISC

Official South-American fan-club picture disc limited to 250 copies.

Yeah, right.

This is not official, probably not South-American, not issued by a fan-club and definetly not limited to 250 copies.

This is most likely a European bootleg made in well over a thousand copies. It is very easy to find almost everywhere and if it really was limited to only 250 copies and only produced for a fan-club in South-America - well, it would have been long gone by now and impossible to find.
