NOTES:

This particular version is all black. It is often confused with the next pressing that had a large ring around the center hole and a lyric sheet. This version has a small ring around the center hole. The center rings are created by the press, not the stamper.

This pressing should not include a lyric sheet.
Many collectors have removed the lyric sheets from their large ring pressings to place with their marbled and white copies.

The jacket is glossier than subsequent pressings.

Recorded at Reel Platinum, Lodi, NJ.

Tracks are listed sequentially on the release, regardless of sides.

ARTIST INFO:

Samhain was formed in 1983 in Lodi, New Jersey, by vocalist Glenn Danzig  and bassist Eerie Von following the breakup of The Misfits. The idea for Samhain, though, had allegedly been conceived a few years prior to that and a number of songs for the project were written while Danzig was still in the Misfits (the Misfits also recorded a few songs that Danzig had written with Samhain in mind). After tossing around several line-ups, the band was completed withSteve Zing , another Lodi native and former classmate of Von's, on drums. Danzig would also handle guitar duties, although former Minor Threat guitarist Lyle Preslar played with the band at their first show and recorded several songs with the band. Eschewing the straight up punk sound and horror movie image of the Misfits, Samhain played a more goth and atmospheric style of music with some punk and metal overtones and the lyrics focused more on the occult and real life violence. Following the recording, but prior to the release of their first album, 1984's "Initium", Pete Marshall (aka "Damien") joined the band as guitarist. Steve Zing quit the band in 1985, either tiring of touring or Danzig's complete control of the band (depending on who one was talking to at the time) and was replaced by former Reptile House drummer London May . This line-up would record the band's second LP, "November-Coming-Fire", which would be the band's last release during their lifetime.
