Welcome to my Banzai Records page, I'll be posting my collection of LP's and Cassettes that I'm
currently building. There are a few that I need for LP's and many for the Cassettes. Anyway, a
bit of what I know about Banzai Records, I do know that they have released quite a bit of records
back in the mid to late 80's, why they cease to exist is not known to me.
Banzai Records was a Canadian label based in Montreal, Quebec. In the 80s and early 90s, the
heyday of Heavy Metal, it licensed and released American and European metal records for all the
northern headbangers.
There are a few that are believed to be bootleg's and one of them that I do know of is Jag Panzer's
Ample Destruction. If there are others, please let me know.
Another thing that may be of interest is the Speed Metal logo on various releases, there are 18
releases with this Speed Metal logo and they are all listed here. The reason behind this could be
that the number of the beast is 6 6 6, when adding them, you get 18.
There are Collectors everywhere who are collecting every Banzai release at every cost so that
they can complete their Banzai collection. I am doing the same here, trying to get every LP and
Cassette released by Banzai, at any cost.
Well, here you go, this is my collection and I'll be adding the pics of LP's when I have the time.
