Demos

Came across this 1995 ad for demos - If you could redeem this sale today, which ones would you get, if any ?

Would love to have that Heroz album even if it is on cassette.  The Broken Silence album is actually very good as well.  Close to half of those I have never even heard of.

I wonder how many of those albums have been reissued?

Never heard of any of them except David Benson, and I have it on CD... It sounds like a demo even tho it is the remaster and I paid $3 bucks for it so the 2011 price is even cheaper than the original! 

Also, would prob pick up the Ultimatum cassette. Other than those 2 I have never heard of any of those people.

I'd get the Disencumbrance, Final Warning, Matt Harding, Pale Horse, Towne Cryer and Zuriel.  I already have the Ultimatum cassette

I'd buy as many as I could afford and them sell them to you guys!

But If I could only get a couple, it'd be the Crux and the Strongarm.

ishmael81 you are one shrewd bidniss-man

I laugh, cuz I'd do the same thing... knowing now what old rare demos can go for, I would've bought 2 copies of each one - worth the gamble.

Still love to get that Holy Psychotherapy. It's the only one I do not have of Benson's works.
I recognize about half of the bands on the list and have many of them in mp3 format, and I would definitely snag as many as possible.

Lol... I have the ideas but not the capital...

I remember about 7 years ago, I was in a Hastings in Denver Colorado and they were having a clearance sale. I only had about $20 to spend and bought 3 things for myself but I wished I had about $100.

They had (and this is just what I remember):
Joshua - Intense Defense, 3 copies - $4
Angelica - s/t, 2 copies, $5
Angelica - Keepin' the Faith, 1 copy, $7
Crimson Moonlight - Covenant Progress, 1 copy - $7
Vengeance - Human Sacrifice (Pre-Rising) - 1 copy, $10
Both Detritus albums - $10 each
Antestor - Return fo the Black Death, 1 copy - $6

There were several more. I wsih I could have bought them all - Just what I remember was about $70 and I could have probably tripled that if I had them now!

I'd have to go with the Ultimatum and Possession.

I believe it is still floating around out there, cheap too.

Oh wait, maybe I am thinking of Purpose Of The Cross?

That Heroz album was also released on CD.  I have a copy myself.  Did I never share that with you?

Heroz, Apostle, Matt Harding and Final Warning are on my list.
About Dynomo, that isn't the band Dynamo isn't it?

I'm almost certain that it is just spelled wrong on the list and they are the same band.

I would love to have Reign's Edge.

I have several of those already like Dynamo, Plain Clothes, Matt Harding's Steel Armada, Heroz, etc.

I have owned the Broken Silence one but got rid of it.  I would love to hear it again, however.

Heroz and Dynamo are cool bands.

I'm sure there are a lot more of these "jewelery".
That's how I call ultrarare music. 

I see many names of bands I've never heard from and would love to hear how they sound.

I have it from somewhere but it is in a low bit-rate.  Would be cool to have it at 256KbPs or better with a decent scan of the cd insert....maybe we should compare demos and rarities again.
