Ads in Old Metal Magazines

Does anyone remember the ads for a metal distro (maybe METAL DISC) from old metal magazine such as RIP? It was usually a full page ad with a ton of titles. If someone remembers does anyone have one they could scan??

I might... let me look thru the archives when I get home tonght and see what I can dig up...

I do remember those. Sorry, can't scan one though.

Do you remember the company name?

I'm not T.O.B. but ...

off the top of my head, I remember RAM Music, Jart Music (or maybe it was J.A.R.T.) and Wildside Imports distros regularly ran ads like you're describing (i.e. a full page with a big list of titles) ... I used to order from Wildside every once in a while. The name "Metal Disc" rings a bell too.

If you get a chance, any of those would be groovy.

Sure, I'll see what I can find.

Although I gotta tell ya, if you're thinking of placing an order with some of these long-ago companies, you are probably out of luck.

Nahh...I just like to stroll down memory lane and see all I missed.

I remember seeing an ad for this company: http://www.metaldisc.com

They are still in business.

I thought I had finally "made it" when I went from ordering stuff from them to seeing my album in their catalog.

I remember them but I thought they only sold bootleg CD's and VHS tapes, never ordered from them but was tempted to many,many times

Oh yeah, there were numerous ads in those mags for "RARE IMPORTED CONCERT VIDEOS" back in the day too. Of course, "RARE" and "IMPORTED" were code words for "BOOTLEG," haha.

I paid $25 to one of those dealers for a VHS of a W.A.S.P. show I'd been to in Asbury Park, NJ in '92. I knew it was gonna be a boot but I wanted it anyway, just to have as a souvenir of the gig. Unfortunately it looked and sounded like absolute crap, so I watched it once and never bothered with it, or those video dealers, again.

I remember I went to a Record/CD convention in the early 90's and there was a guy selling bootleg VHS concerts, I got excited for the guy had a gig from Black Sabbath that had Glenn Hughes on vocals. It actually was the gig but it sounded like crap and the band looked like little green aliens.

Well good thing the internet doesn't have those awful bootleggers.

This isn't me, BTW.

Yeah, when you bought/ordered those bootleg concert videos, you really were taking a chance. Some are really for "diehards" only.

I used to go to those record/CD conventions all the time and some dealers would actually have a little TV with a VCR set up so you could "sample" the videos, that was a cool idea. I got some decent KISS compilations and a semi-decent tape of an Overkill show I was at from those guys.

I still every once in awhile buy bootleg concert DVD's, but like the FF said it was crapshoot, I have been lucky so far, everything I have purchased in the last few years has been very good quality.
