    The notes imply that there are two vinyl pressings from 1994 - one with the 'Norsk Arisk Black Metal' text and a subsequent one without. Is this correct? If not, I would suggest the notes should be revised to make it clearer. NotAfraidOfLove's comment seems pretty unequivocal that there was only one original pressing, all of which came with the offending text.

    Would appreciate some clarification.

      How many copies were made for the first press of the LP?

        One of the most important black metal album in the history

          Has there ever been an original vinyl copy that didn't have the Norsk Arisk Black Metal writing on the back? I feel like something has gotten lost in translation and that the removal of that phrase only applies to CD pressings.
