D: starving missile. 102 / 17 tracks / 1983 (?) (bootleg)

RI: D: mülleimer records. 1983 (?) (bootleg)

First version by Starving Missile in white cover, 1000 made. Mülleimer reissue in blue cover, tens of thousands made. CD reissue in the late 1980s(?). Reissued as Forward to Death with a different cover.

The first pressing of this LP was actually a semi-legal release with Jello’s consent; the band even received royalties from the sold copies. The blue cover reissue (done by another German label) is very much a bootleg, though, and led to the band’s decision not to tolerate projects like this again. Recorded live Sep 13, 1982 in Germany, the sound quality is good although it could have used a bit more treble. [7]

Live am 13. September 1982; guter Livesound, der nur eine Spur zu dumpf ist. Die endlosen Nachpressungen dieser ursprünglich zumindest halblegalen LP führten zur Entscheidung der Band, derartige Projekte nicht mehr zu tolerieren.
