Here's an oddity I stumbled on while listening to my older tapes. This is a recording tape for the Merciful Fate EP in 1982. It's not really a crisp sounding tape, but I can't get the sound any more sparkling, so please bare with me on this one. The first two track are for the karaoke fans: instrumental only. The third track might just be the one that ended up on the EP, but I know some tracks took several recordings to get it perfect. So it just might be al little different (I can't tell).

Rip and share by mevistox5, thanks for your great work with this one mate!!
Uploader Notes: On may 7th 1983 as a one off show a so called super sessions was held a Dynamo Hard Rock cafe in Eindhoven. Members of MERCYFUL FATE, AVENGER, DEEP MACHINE and SATAN together with a local drummer and vocalist formed the, what I call, DYNAMO BAND.
This is the only recording I know to be in existence. Sound quality is ok-ish, when you keep in mind that is was recorded on tape-cassette on one mono channel only. To make it sound better the one channel was dubbed to two channel, making it ' stereo' . But I've heard worse recordings.
I also took some photo's of the pictures I have of this gig (in my photobook), so you can get an impression how it looked like back then. These can be downloaded in a seperate file.
Performing artists in the band are:
Brian Ross - Vocals (Avenger)
Gary Young - Drums (Avenger)
Steve Ramsey - Guitar (Satan)
Timmi Grabber - Bass (Mercyful Fate)
Michael Denner - Guitar (Mercyful Fate)
Andy Wrighton - Bass (Deep Machine)
John Wiggens - Guitar (Deep Machine)
And the two locals:
Henri - Vocals
Pim - Drums
1. Fast as a Shark (Accept)
2. Sancutary (Iron Maiden)
3. I Don't Know (Ozzy Osbourne)
4. Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne)
5. Blitzkrieg (Blitzkrieg)
6. Paranoid (Black Sabbath)
7. Son of a Bitch (Accept)
8. N.I.B. (Black Sabbath)
9. Children of the Grave (Black Sabbath)
10. Restless and Wild (Accept)
11. Living after Midnight (Judas Priest)
12. Rock 'n' Roll Medley
13. Fast as a Shark (Accept - reprise)

Rip and share by Ron1965, thanks man!
Uploader Notes: Mercyful Fate's performance at the Elkerlyck, Luttenberg, The Netherlands on 22 January 1984. Rare soundboard recording of the band in their 1980s heyday. Full show minus first few minutes. This is the show the band played 2 days after the well-known Hilversum (Countdown Cafe) show that was broadcasted on Dutch FM. Also known as `A Light Between The Graves´ bootleg CD (which also contains a soundcheck (8 mins. ) bonustrack
(audience sourced, but terriblel quality). This is my own cassetterip however.

Pre-Mercyful Fate group Brats (which spawned the dual-guitar team of Fate's Hank Shermann and Michael Denner) were originally a Glam-Punk outfit blending T. Rex, Sweet, and NWOBHM stylings with flat-out Punk, sounding like a more melodic version of The Dead Boys. For the sake of simplicity, this incarnation can be associated with bassist/frontman Yenz (Geisha, Zoser Mez, Lacrimosa, Iron Savior, Stormwarrior), and the band that set the foundation for Mercyful Fate can be associated with the entry of King Diamond (who woulda guessed it?).
Brats released one LP ("1980") on CBS Holland, and two singles. "1980" didn't sell well so CBS dropped them. But "1980" was truly a classic Punk album, and NWOBHM fans should enjoy it as well! King Diamond replaced Yenz on vocals in 1981, after the folding of King's notorious and extremely theatrical group Black Rose. Yenz remained on bass and Carsten Van Der Volsing came in to replace Denner, who left after the "1980" record's release. At this point Brats' style changed completely to the style Mercyful Fate were known for, and the groundwork for this classic Heavy Metal band was formed. A number of the tracks on their rough 1981 rehearsal demo were antecedents to classic Fate tracks.
So here is the album "1980", the 2008 release "The Lost Tapes" (Brats' unreleased, pre-"1980" album which was stashed away for 29 years), the January 18th 1981 rehearsal demo with King Diamond, and the Vilespace release of Brats material from the Brats Myspace fan site, and the Mercyful Fate - The Rare Ones Myspace fan site. Said Myspace sites can be found here and here. The only track unique to this release apart from the others posted is "Some Day" from the 1981 demo with King Diamond. They are good copies recorded with professional software, however.
The only material missing from this post is the "B-Brains/Vivian Wants To Dance" single (1980, CBS Holland), and the Brats/Tyrantz split single, which appears to be the same single as the former with a song added by Tyrantz. Any copy of "18th January 1981 demo" with "You Asked For It" is including it erroneously as it is from the first Mercyful Fate demo tape, and may not even include it at all despite it being listed. It can be found on the "Return Of The Vampire" official compilation of early, rare Mercyful Fate recordings.
