If your not familiar with the Banzai label, only 1000 lps were pressed of each title making them some of the rarest Metal albums on the planet production wise, these are all from the 1980s. All 5 albums pictured below can run you around $500-750 for a set w/ minty vinyl. Banzai lps can have the Speed Metal logo or not, The battleaxe label versions are very rare and only found on a few releases in Banzai's catalog

Right. I knew there was label releases, but thought only maybe Kill Em All was on Banzai. Thanks Ron.

The Japanese version smokes the UK version, I'd like to borrow the mofi cd version Jason, I have not heard it and wondered if the hype was justified

Running Wild - Heavy Metal Like a Hammerblow on Demo'n Records (Running Wild's label for the original cassette only release) boot lp. Got this from my Bro Jason

Dude... you can't believe how priceless this is to me. I enlisted the aid of my DSS-100 and a Pioneer silver face eq and made it sound incredibly better. I did not even know this was available. 80s Metal is the real focus of my lp collection though I have a lot of genres filed

EDIT: info added

A demo compilation - released by the band themselves. All the songs except for the intro appeared previously on the 1981 demo (tracks 2-3), the first 1983 demo (tracks 4-5), and the 1983 live demo (tracks 6-7).

(There is one more song, King of the Midnight Fire, on the 1981 demo that did not appear here.)

A version of this tape exists with only the first five tracks, but the 7 song version is much more prevalent. There is also a bootleg that has these 7 tracks, and an 8th live track: "Running Wild", recorded in October '83.

The song "Warchild" is not the same song as the song with the same title from the "Port Royal" album.
