A quite macabre addiction

Sickly obsessed (with the brilliantly composed)

Here's the Carcass stuff I have currently. If anyone has anything additional they'd like to trade or sell, please e-mail me at slayer@imsa.edu.


Vinyl:
    Cerebral Tumor red and green wax LP's (Headache Records HR - 011,
        from 7/30/90, Dortmund, Germany)

        an identical track listing for both; the front cover lists
        St. George's Hall, Bradford, 11/15/89)
        ... this is semi-legitimate as it's sanctioned by Bill, I believe,
            although I think the red vinyl version is a bootlegged copy.

If you have additional paraphernalia you're looking to trade or sell, as mentioned above, please write! (Or if you just have further information, I'd love to try and organise a complete list of everything that's out there for other deranged fans to drool over).

(Oh yeah, someone once mentioned to me that I was obsessed, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has similar deviancies as my own... has anyone else noticed how difficult it is to come across Carcass stuff?)
