I see always this good re-issue of their early demo with the cover black and yellow but I have it on black and white: what is the difference and how many copies exist of each type??

I've always seen it on yellow/black cover. My guess is, you got a copy with a xeroxed cover or something.

I think Luca once said they only made 100-200 with the black/white/yellow cover.

I have the black/white version myself and it is definitely offset printed.

Finally I find the answer of my question that I ask directly to Tomas of Iron Fist Production:

You have really an cult item on the MERCILESS - Realm of the dark EP..The white/black covers does only exist in 5 copies..The other ones (yellow/black)in 500 each

Fucking great to hear because I'm sure seeing the quality of the cover's print it isn't a xerox copy........

Who else have this cult item? 3 items lacks............

Strange. My copy is also on black / white glossy paper. The same is the other ep (behind the black door). I bougth both at Aftermath records in Trondheim when they were released. They had a whole pile of them, and I'm pretty sure they were all black / white. Of course this was years ago, so I can't garantee that I remember correctly.

I think Tomas suffers from retardation because most copies are black/white. I think he got it backwards.

Isn't he the same guy who used to run No fashion Recs in the beginning of the '90ies? If so, that 5 copies thing makes sense. The dude is probably still on heavy drugs.

I remember Volker from MERCILESS RECS/Germany was heavily ripped off by him once. He took a trip from germany to his own house in Sweden and set things straight Very Happy

you should consider doing the same.
