Akarma

Akarma is an independent Italian rock reissue label based in La Spezia, Liguria, Italy. Founded in 1998 by [founder names], the label specializes in late-60s and ‘70s rock, prog-rock, and blues psychedelia. With a focus on vinyl releases, Akarma initially pressed early releases on colored or black vinyl with heavy cardboard covers. Over time, the label expanded to include CD editions in digipak format and began releasing CDs in cardboard sleeves imitating classic LP covers known as "Karmapack." The label's releases have become known for their graphic variations and attention to detail. While some of Akarma's releases may be of questionable legitimacy, they continue to provide music enthusiasts with high-quality reissues.

Early Akarma releases featured white A-side center labels with track listings for both sides and B-side labels showcasing color illustrations without text. As the label evolved, the B-side center label design changed to feature an image of the eye of providence with a meditating man. Rim text was added to the left side of the A-side center label. CD editions started including barcodes and displayed the website address (www.akarmarecords.com) on their covers.

In around 2000, Akarma introduced "Karmapack" designs for CD releases – gatefold cardboard sleeves resembling classic LP covers. Back covers began featuring release years around 2001/2002 as a standard

Dead Forever... is the debut album by Australian rock band Buffalo, recorded and originally released in 1972. It remains one of the first truly sinister albums from an Aussie band of the day. Highlights of this collection of heavy psychedelic blues included covers of Free's 'I'm a Mover' and the Blues Images' 'Pay My Dues', plus the band-penned tracks 'Leader', 'Suzie Sunshine', 'Bean Stew' and the melancholy, atmospheric ballad 'Forest Rain'. Like Black Sabbath, Buffalo was also criticized for their controversial album covers and supposed satanic content (for the album cover of Dead Forever Buffalo chose a scarred, blood stained face, while the inside album features a rather macabre photo of the band in a Sidney cemetery), but also like their English cousins it was the band's hardrocking guitar heavy sound that would prevail.
