Mercyful Fate - The Beginning - LP

180 Gram Vinyl LP, Compilation

The Beginning is a 1987 compilation gathering Mercyful Fate's official pre-Melissa recordings: the fully remastered "Rave-On" studio sessions, the band's 1983 BBC "Friday Rock Show" sessions, and the bonus track "Black Masses" from the Melissa sessions, never before released on LP at the time. It's an essential early document of the Danish metal legends, capturing King Diamond and Hank Shermann's signature blend of theatrical vocals and twin-guitar attack. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl.
