1972–1979 is the first of many compilations featuring 1970s material of American doom metal band Pentagram. It was released by Peace Records in 1993. Pentagram frontman Bobby Leibling stated in a 2004 interview with Hellride Music that he gave permission for 500 copies to be issued, but had not received any royalties for this release.[1] Most of the material was later released by Relapse Records on the First Daze Here and First Daze Here Too compilations. The mix of "Smokescreen" included on the 1972-1979 LP is different from the version included on the Relapse compilations and was not released on any other compilation after 1993.

Now that we started talking about labels, I think it's a suitable time to discuss the Doom/Peace records issue of that Mars Hole guy that continuously releases Pentagram (and other material) without permission . Bobby: Not even I don't get royalties from this stuff, I don't even get information. This guy screwed me completely. I don't approve at all of what he's doing, and I would appreciate it when you do the article it would be a very, very important and fantastic thing - I'm not trying to tell you what to do - but if you could somewhere mention to NOT BUY ANYTHING from him. A lot of this stuff has crap sound quality and originally he had permission to do only 500 copies of one LP and that that was the PENTAGRAM-1972-1979 LP . I haven't received not one cent from any of the numerous Pentagram products he has released." "
