    UPDATE: I've been informed by a well-known audio engineer who worked on many metal LP reissues that the UOF LP pressing is a different master (which is brighter sounding compared to the initial BMP LPs) compared to the original Black Mark Productions LP despite the etchings being identical. I also noticed the etchings, such as the 666 and upside down cross, are etched differently from the original BMP LP, leading me to believe that this is likely another set of stampers by the original cutting engineer, Peter Dahl.
    ***
    The Under One Flag LP pressing uses the same metal stampers as the original Black Mark LP. This is as good as it gets, original sound-wise, as later remasters are utterly terrible sounding.

      incredible press. Nothing to do with the bootleg and recent edition. Quorthon's voice alone is mind-blowing! he rips the music, it's a real thunder!
      all instruments are audible despite the fury.
      a monument of Black Metal!

        Surprised no one’s commented on this one yet. But this pressing sounds absolutely fantastic. My only gripe here is with the packaging; I really don’t think it woulda killed the label to include the lyrics at least. Still worth getting for the sound and for how awesome the Goat looks, however.
