Mercyful Fate ‎– Curse Of The Pharaohs -lp

Limited to 444 copies reissue on orange vinyl. Classic and ultra hard to find semi official Mercyful Fate fan club recordings. Originally released for a short period in the mid 1980s. Has the same catalog numbers.

Track A2 Return Of The Vampire misspelled as Return On The Vampire on the label
Track A3 A Corpse Without Soul misspelled as Corps Without Soul on the label and on the backcover

So it’s been a lot of Mercyful Fate updates here this week, but it’s also one of my absolute favourite bands so i guess i will be posting more records with them here later on. I am not really sure about the year of release of this record, as it says nothing on the actual vinyl, i just find the information that it was supposedly released back in 1984. Also i have seen it been labelled a “fan club release” and a bootleg, im not sure wich one is right.

As the last Mercyful Fate album i posted (see a few post further down) this vinyl includes early Mercyful Fate demos, some on this album you can also find on the official Return Of The Vampire Lp but not all of them. And like i said in that post, it’s always fun to hear the early stuff from the bands that you love. Anyway i strongly recommend that you pick this vinyl up if you find it, it sound really good and the front cover have a really cool early bandphoto with a King Diamond not wearing his make-up.

Tracklist:
Side A: Curse of the pharaohs, Return of the vampire, Corpse without a soul, Burning the cross, Walking back to hell
Side B: Running free, Black masses, Hard rocker, Combat zone, Love criminals, Mission destroy aliens
