Description

Polish pressed music cassette. Black and white cover and a black cassette without print.

Poland is probably the country that had the most record labels in the world that only released cassettes. But even though there were lots of labels the market was still small as they only printed these for their own market inside of Poland. And a label in one town maybe lacked the distribution for another town and so on. A Warzaw or Krakow label might print more copies of a tape then labels from a smaller town. So even if there are thousands of releases you will notice how rare some are if you start to try to list the catalogue number of one particular label. Some cassettes just rarely shows up. Most Polish cassette labels disappeared in May of 1994 when Polish Parliament passed on a new copyright law. The Polish label that released the cheapest looking cassettes must be Deck, a company based in Lublin that started in the second half of the 80s and lasted into the early 90s. Almost all of their releases came with just a greyscale printed cover with the track list, and the DECK logo, printed on the front. Most of their covers also missed the backflip so the cover is made up of just the front and spine cover. Deck ran adverts in Polish music magazines like Thrash em All and Na Przelaj. By the end of their existence they started to print colour covers

Testament arrived at the 1987 Dynamo Festival backed by a startlingly mature debut and boatloads of promise. They left conquering heroes, having handily converted the European masses assembled there with their accomplished musicianship and ferocious live show. So successful was their performance that their label, Megaforce, quickly issued the ‘Live At Eindhoven’ to immortalize their amazing set and drive home the fact that this new Bay Area thrash metal quintet was a force to be reckoned with. This was one of the most popular import thrash metal albums in the States during the late 80s since it wasn’t released in Usa until 1990. The Megaforce album however was made as a 5 track mini album with only 4 of the tracks recorded live at this amazing performing. Here you will find the bone-crushing highlights from their classic first album like Over The Wall, Burnt Offerings, Do Or Die and Apocalyptic City in all their vicious on-stage glory — and often at even faster speeds than heard on the debut. This live performance also includes Reign Of Terror from the Legacy demo.

Track list:
1. Over The Wall
