DEMO
MERCYFUL FATE "Demo #1" (16:12 min, 1981, 4 tracks)*
- Walking Back To Hell / Running Free / Black Masses / Hard Rocker -
NOTE: This has been in my collection for quite a while. At first I
thought I had an original demo, than I thought it's a fake. Then
again, I compared it to some of the demo versions included on
the official "Return Of The Vampire" release and found that
mine definitely sound better. Very strange, indeed.
MERCYFUL FATE "Demo #2" (34:22 min, 1982, 5 tracks)*
- Curse Of The Pharaohs / Return Of The Vampire / A Corpse Without Soul /
Burning The Cross / Shadow Night [live 1981] -
