They Were Born to Kill, Vinyl (red and black version)

[holland25]

You're all wrong. It was released in 1991, because:

a) the original recordings (it means Tehran demo cassette) was released in 1988
b) it was released after the S/T album, and it's a bootleg, not official release.
The font used on TWBTK is a rip-off of the movie called The Offspring, released in 1987.

So tell me, how do you KNOW it was released in 1991? Just curious since it doesn't say anything on the actual vinyl or sleeve.

I've read somewhere that it was released slightly after Baghdad EP to promote the band, so I think it is 1991. But anyway - there's no way it was released sooner than 1989.

And I've read at several places that it was released in 86' or '87. Never, ever have I read that it was released after the first album. You make a good point though about the movie which was released in '87. That makes '86 impossible and '87 not likely. Let's say '88 or '89 and leave it there.

Yes Jojan, you have 2 versions. Good for you. I only have the purple one but I'll be fine.

[Mr.Offspring]

You just answered your own question. Kinda. The difference is the color, that's all.


I believe it was released in '86 or '87.

Thanks a lot. I found both lp's on ebay, but before I bought one of them, I first wanted to find out what the difference was. I thought that maybe the red one was a reissue or something, and if one of them was more rare than the other one.

Thanks again.

It's made from a Side B of the Tehran Demo Cassette, which was released in 1988. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehran_(album) . It's the tape BANKZ won a contest for in eBay and the tape brought them a contract with Nemesis. So TWBTK couldn't be released sooner than 1988 or 1989.

Like I said, let's say '88 or '89 and leave it there .
