Morbid Tales is the debut LP by the Swiss extreme metal band, Celtic Frost, released in November 1984. It was originally released in Europe as with six-tracks. However, the first American release by Enigma/Metal Blade added two tracks.
In 1999 a remastered edition of Morbid Tales was released on CD by Noise Records, which contained also the tracks from their 1985 EP Emperor's Return.
Emperor's Return is the second release by the Swiss extreme metal band Celtic Frost. It was released in 1985 as an extended play and was their first record featuring American drummer Reid Cruickshank (aka "Reed St. Mark"). The band's bleak publicity photographs from this period had an influence on the fashion and style of the developing black metal genre. The tracks of Emperor's Return were remastered and re-released in the 1999 edition of Morbid Tales.
In 1986 was released as "Morbid Tales/Emperor's Return"
