Notes
Originally released in October 1984.
in 1983 (when Bathory formed) Quorthon, worked part-time at the small record label Tyfon Music.
In late 1983 and early 1984, the label was putting together a compilation of songs by Scandinavian metal bands named: Scandinavian Metal Attack, at the last minute, one of the bands backed out. Tyfon agreed to let Bathory appear on the record as a replacement, and the band recorded two songs for the compilation: "Sacrifice" and "The Return of the Darkness and Evil" in January 1984. The compilation was released in March.
To everyone's surprise, over 95% of fan mail sent to the label after the record's release was dedicated to Bathory.
Tyfon asked the band to record a full-length album.
With his bandmates having moved away, Quorthon recruited Rickard Bergman as bassist and Stefan Larsson as drummer.
On 22 May 1984, they had their first and only rehearsal together before recording the album.
They recorded the songs "Satan My Master" and "Witchcraft", which would later appear on the compilation Jubileum Volume III.
On 14 June the band entered Heavenshore Studio in Stockholm (a converted garage) to record the debut. The studio had a homemade 8-channel tape recorder. Due to the band's tight budget, they ran the recorder at half-speed to fit everything on one master tape.
They also had to work quickly, the recording and mixing were done in somewhere between 32 and 56 hours.

I’d be willing to sell this for about £450. Record was minor scuffs direct from factory, VG+ Conditions. Sleeve is great condition, very minor marks (one again - direct from Qrates) VG++ / NM- condition.referencing Bathory (LP, Album, Yellow Goat) BMLP 666-1
unfortunately this record was not my cup of tea at all. I bought the original in a dutch record shop when it came out but I played it maybe 5 times at all. the record is like new, vinyl and jacket. but it didn‘t get me: the sound was rubbish as the recording itself. to be fair, it has an obscure dark and evil atmosphere what is the reason for the cult. the same to the alien quorton who let the cult growing. I don‘t know why but I bought the follow-up original also. kind of fun looking the past.- Edited 2 months agoI have this cd version, it sounds very close to the 1985 Combat LP that I used to own. Great sounding cd, much better than the official cd version.
- Edited 3 months agoThis is likely re-issue from late 90's/early 2000's made by DOCdata Germany. Also got different back cover logo and layout than the 1st 1990 pressing. I got similar "The Return" re-issue but it got 2003 re-mastered series disc inside for some unknown reason. I belive these distributed by SPV, DOCdata Germany, IFPI LL88 releases are the last non-remastered Bathory CD's they did before switching to 2003 re-mastered series.

I will give my best offer possible for this record, if you have one for sale hit me upreferencing Bathory (LP, Album, Yellow Goat) BMLP 666-1
In the late 80's, early 90's this record was quite "easy" to find in second hand shops, believe it or not. I bought a copy for the equivalent of 3 bucks then, sold it a few weeks later for 15 bucks (woo-hoo!).
