Pristine vinyl with a very smart clean cover.
Filth Hounds of Hades is the debut album of heavy metal band Tank, released in 1982.
The album was produced by "Fast" Eddie Clarke of Motörhead, and recorded between December 1981 and January 1982 at Ramport Studios in London. The Attic Records pressing had an alternate blue cover with the dogs in maroon and with a different logo.
The title seems to be deliberately or unconsciously sourced from Viv Stanshall's Sir Henry at Rawlinson End, originally a radio series recorded for the John Peel show in 1975, and later a 1978 album and 1980 film:
"Filth hounds of Hades!: Sir Henry Rawlinson surfaced from the blackness, hot and fidgety, fuss, bother and itch, conscious mind coming up too fast for the bends, through pack-ice thrubbing seas, boom-sounders, blow-holes, harsh-croak Blind Pews tip-tap-tocking for escape from his pressing skull...."
