'Til Death do us Part
[Jester Productions-Bootleg]

-Format-double 12 inch vinyl-



      This rather strange double LP bootleg contains material from 1984, both live and rehearsal. It was limited to 500 copies, the first 25 containing a T-shirt. The strange thing about this release is one of the records is purposefully mislabeled as another 'band.' It reads, "Poverty Records, Buddy Love-Sings about Girls" and contains listings for 14 comical 'song' titles by this pseudo 'band.' This is obviously meant as a joke to confuse the buyer into believing the wrong record has been placed inside the sleeve. The other record label is blank, it is the first of the two and contains the live tracks from 'Alive and Undead sessions' : 'Evil has No Boundries* (misspelled),' 'Creator of Sin* (mislabeled, is actually 'Captor of Sin'),' 'Show no Mercy,' 'Black Magic,' 'Die by the Sword,' 'Aggresive Predator* (mislabeled, is actually 'Aggressive Perfector')' and 'The Antichrist.' The second 'Buddy Love' record contains the following: 'Praise of Death,' 'Necropheliac,' 'Hell Awaits,' 'Kill Again' and 'Warlock ('Crypts of Eternity' Edit).'
