Mercyful Fate ‎– Live In Copenhagen '82 LP

The Mercyful Fate ‎– “Live In Copenhagen ’82” LP is a rare bootleg that was released in 1987 from Stone Records, Inc. ‎The catalog number is MV 16 if you have the first pressing. There are five other pressings (4 in 1987 and one more in 2011). The country of origin of the first pressing is not known, although later pressings are believed to have originated in France. The album has no writing on the label, and it’s just a blank white label, as can be seen below.
