Pentagram’s first 7-inch , “Be Forewarned”, was released under the name Macabre and included “Lazy Lady” on the B-side. The record was produced by Phillip Knudsen and released on Intermedia. This recording ended up being one of the band’s only proper releases, although a promotional 7-inch of the song “Hurricane” was also released during that time. Pentagram’s repertoire reportedly consisted of nearly 80 original songs, written or co-written by Liebling. Many of these demos would appear on the semi-authorized 1972–1979 compilation, the bootleg follow-up 1972–1979 (Vol. 2) and the hard-to-find (albeit official) Human Hurricane compilation. In 2001, Relapse Records issued an authorized compilation of 12 early tracks, three of which were live rehearsal recordings, titled First Daze Here (The Vintage Collection) . Relapse later released First Daze Here Too in 2006, a two-disc, 22-track compilation of additional unreleased material.
