OPM Records: The OPM Record-label was founded in 1997 by John Haupt and Jim Cranford with the aim of releasing previously unavailable real metal recordings from the 80ies in limited and handnumberd quantities of 750 pcs. or less for collectors and 80ies metal manicas. First 100 copies usually in colored vinyl!
90% of all previous releases are really great and for all collectors of true metal highly recommended! They all sold out very quickly and the prices of the first OPM-releases are increasing so best you get your copies asap as long as you have the chance!
Only little thing I personally don't like is that OPM failed to put a lyricsheet to their releases until now, but as John told me the future releases will have one included so there is really nothing more to contest.
Great metal awaits!!!
