Finding the right affordable studio to handle such type of project without killing the dynamics and cranking up the compression to 11 a-la Death Magnetic style is very tough task these days. Especially for small labels like me with a limited budgets to operate with... I'm open to all suggestions and tips in regards to this matter!

Don't think I was bagging on you man, I really wasn't. I understand completely how hard it is to strike the right balance between affordable and quality. You and your label to a fantastic job!

Have you ever tried Cliffy from Steinhaus?

Just wanted to see if anyone knew about this band?

Sure do- bought my first car off of Mike Wickstrom- piece of crap Duster that burned so much oil I got pulled over 'cuz the cop couldn't see the back of the car! Fun times in Muskegon! My stepbrother used to do illustrations for Sledge Hammer Press about that time.

And Stormspell is right- Mike is a very cool guy- at least he was when I knew him briefly back in '83-84... We had a fun metal scene then.

From what I undetstand, Heaven & Hell Records contacted them about reissues and was unsuccessful...

Looks like Heaven and Hell Records is selling the Black Dragon reissues: http://www.soundsofpurgatory.com/index.aspx?page=4

Scroll down the page mid way.

The question is, who reissued them?

When you click on the additional info tabs, all say the label is Black Dragon Records.

Well, the thing is, unless I'm not mistaken, the only SV album which was originally released on CD format by Black Dragon was "Live Among the Dead" compilation and it fetches $50+ on eBay. The rest were released on LP/MC only.

Since Black Dragon is not active label, the logic dictates those could be some sort of unofficial releases. Just saying you know...

Once a year I get a letter from Black Dragon. It is a list of LP's and cd's they still have in stock....

FYI the drummer John Draper unearthed 2 live video's...We want to put out a dvd of the shows....They contain mostly un released songs....We just need a company to want to do it....
If you go to my Facebook Wall there is a video on one song....
