I think it's no exaggeration to say the various versions of this bootleg were almost singlehandedly responsible for generating interest in Morbid.
In addition to various vinyl versions, there was an earlier CD version of this bootleg on Land of the Rising Sun Records--as that's another Bull Metal label, the Warhammer version is more of a repress than a knock-off.

Bottom of the disc has been scratched to hide the CD pressing info.
During the intro a certain part (easy to guess, based on the title...) from The Exorcist is played over the PA. There are gaps between the live tracks.
Just a bootleg rehash of stuff that was already rereleased on CD officially, although the sound quality is better than on the older bootlegs. Booklet contains error-filled lyrics that mostly seem to be taken from Metal-archives.

Supposedly released by Panos/Unisound. Both demos seem to be sourced from their respective mid-90s LP reissues (the booklet also includes the liner note essays from the vinyl versions).
Although the regular Morbid demo tracks aren't hard to find elsewhere, this bootleg does include the "Tragic Dream" intro from the LP version, which is not included on the official CD reissue or any of the other bootlegs. Although Morbid did play a slightly modified version of this intro live, it doesn't seem to have been part of the original demo, and I'm unsure where exactly it comes from. The bootleg cover is the Kris Verwimp art from the LP version.

The two versions of "Frontline Action" are actually the same recording; the first one is a bit longer and has 4 drum beats at the beginning that lead into the song. It's also slightly better in quality.

I'm not sure if there was another pressing of this bootleg, although the numbering style varies. The first copy of this I bought (immediately when I saw it was available) had the copy number over 666 in red ink. Later I came across copies numbered only 10 units later, but the numbering style had changed to just having the copy number alone in black--obviously numbered by someone else than the first copy. I've also heard unnumbered copies are floating around. So it's unclear whether the bootlegger actually pre-numbered any of the copies himself.
The rehearsal tracks are listed as being from "870807." I've seen conflicting info about the date order. These may be the same rehearsal as the first part of the official "Death Execution" LP.
The live tracks are dated September 1987 on the bootleg, but these are the same Birkagården gig as the "Live In Stockholm" CD. The show is incomplete here, there are fadeouts between tracks, and the sound is much worse than the official CD.

Not to be confused with the official "Live in Stockholm" CD that uses the same cover, this bootleg contains the same Birkagården show, but also adds 3 additional live tracks that were originally pressed on the "Death Execution III" 7". The CD spines list the title as "Live 1n Stockholm" but the disc print has the proper title.
I cannot verify the recording info for tracks 10-12, although it's the same as on the EP. Track 10 fades out and track 11 fades in (also as on the original vinyl).

A small patch of the underside of the CD has been blacked out with permanent marker to hide some of the pressing info.
The live tracks are from the post-Dead era of the band, with John Berger. The Nov. 20 date is what's listed on the bootleg, but I cannot confirm it. This is not the '88 show that's more well-known from video footage, although the live pics in the booklet and on the disc face seem to be from that video. There are gaps between all live tracks.
The live version of "Wings of Funeral" has a false start.
Track 11 starts out with the beginning of "Sickness...," then at 0:32 the audio stops for a moment and jumps to the solo section of the song, which then finishes normally.
The live version of "Deathexecution" only lasts about a minute, and there are hardly any lyrics. It's not the longer, full version like Dead performed, but it's still longer than the short riff outro from the end of the "December Moon" demo.
At 0:43 of track 15, the right channel drops in and out briefly.
