Notes

1000 copies have been pressed.

The printing on the cover was originally meant to be in gold instead of yellow, but because the expensive gold color could not be afforded the printing company was asked to use a standard color as close to gold as possible.

Recorded at Heaven Shore Studio, Stockholm, Sweden. Mixed at Electra Studio, Stockholm, Sweden.

    Bought mine as an import in "84". There was NO lyric sheet in this edition. The repressings, yes. Not with the yellow goat. I acquired a lyric sheet from a Combat records pressing via trade, looks like the white goat repress one in the pictured here.

      unfortunately this record was not my cup of tea at all. I bought the original in a dutch record shop when it came out but I played it maybe 5 times at all. the record is like new, vinyl and jacket. but it didn‘t get me: the sound was rubbish as the recording itself. to be fair, it has an obscure dark and evil atmosphere what is the reason for the cult. the same to the alien quorton who let the cult growing. I don‘t know why but I bought the follow-up original also. kind of fun looking the past.

          In the late 80's, early 90's this record was quite "easy" to find in second hand shops, believe it or not. I bought a copy for the equivalent of 3 bucks then, sold it a few weeks later for 15 bucks (woo-hoo!).

            I got mine from a store called Melotronen in Stockholm about 20 years ago. when purchased, the store clerk told me there was 900 in circulation, not the 1000 reported to have been pressed.

              there is no way that there are only 1000 copies of this thing. it's ALWAYS for sale.

                I bought an original yellow goat from a friend of mine about 7 years ago for next to nothing. Only last year I found out about its rarity and value... The cover isn't exactly mint, but it contains a handwritten message plus signature from Quorthon to a former girlfriend of his. He probably gave it to her as a gift. The inserts contain little messages to her as well... Cool or what??

                  Hi, could anyone help me please ? I'll after an informed opinion about which is the best affordable vinyl version of this album to get. Obviously I'm never gonna get my hands on an 1984 Black Mark original! So many different views here, just looking for the best vinyl version that sounds closest to the original ...

                    You’d have to wonder, would possessing a copy of this which didn’t smell like old stale smoke, dust, beer and blood/vomit/etc be appropriate?
