SAMHAIN Initium (Rare 1984 US First Pressing 10-track vinyl LP, on the Plan 9 label which has a small pressing ring on both labels, with 'PL-904-A TR Pa 6.84' & 'PL-904-B-1 TR Pa 8.84' scratched matrices and pressed on Translucent Vinyl, visible when held to the light. The groups debut album and the first thing Glenn Danzig did after his Departure from horror punk icons The Misfits. Samhains style was slightly more in the vein of heavy rock rather than punk, with a darker lyrical content as opposed to the B-Movie style of The Misfits. Classic tracks include Black Dream, Horror Biz, and the single Archangel. There are also guest appearances from Lyle Preslar of DC hardcore band Minor Threat, and Al Pike from Reagan Youth. Housed in a glossy picture sleeve without any Caroline logo on the reverse, and displays some minor wear mostly to the edges but has no rips or splits. The labels are very clean with minimal spindle wear, and the vinyl has only a few light paper scuffs but little signs of play. A fantastic example of this hard to find gem from the Danzig legacy PL904).
