They were only on Banzai pressing of licensed records. The guy from Strond Survive collects them so you should ask him.

I'd love a patch/backpatch of that logo. Someone should screen some.

It always reminds me of a swastika/black sun or many boots forming a wheel...I think the latter fits more

I heard that there are 18 albums in total with the speed metal logo.

If you go on cultmetal.com and look under banzai they have most of those records listed. I also got a pretty cool shirt off ebay that had the speed metal logo on it. Some of the NWN releases got it too, like the Blasphemy and the Witches Hammer.

I remember not too long ago a guy had the Iron Angel Hellish Crossfire with the stamp on ebay and it had a buy it now price of like 1500.00 (it might have been 2500.00) ..... no one bought it. Laughing

It used to be known as the Canadian speed metal logo since Banzai was a Canadian label and put that on almost all licensed LPs.

I only put it on Canadian LPs. Some of them have been changed to Ross Bay or Black Metal.

There used to be a record shop in Montreal called "Rock en Stock"... they imported metal LP's, but also licensed and bootlegged metal LP's as "domestic" versions (thus adding the Banzai label/logo). They often came with no lyric sheets, and they all got pressed at limited copies (around 500 each). They also released some tapes and all... I got Venom's Canadian Assault on tape with the Banzai logo.

Hope this clarifies a bit!!
