METALLICA - RIDE THE LIGHTNING
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of the second studio album by Metallica, originally released in 1984. The album was recorded in three weeks with producer Flemming Rasmussen at the Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark. The artwork, based on a concept by the band, depicts an electric chair in the midst of a thunderstorm. The title was taken from a passage in Stephen King's novel The Stand. Although rooted in the thrash metal genre, the album showcased the band's musical maturity and lyrical sophistication. This was partly because bassist Cliff Burton introduced the basics of music theory to the rest of the band and had more input in the songwriting. Instead of relying strictly on fast tempos as on Kill 'Em All, Metallica broadened its approach by employing acoustic guitars, extended instrumentals, and more complex harmonies.

There are many options when it comes to shopping for vinyl records, and we want everyone to know why you 

should shop with us. 

 

PACKAGING

We try our best to secure each record that leaves our hands, to arrive in the same condition to its new owner. Each record is 

wrapped tightly in A-fluted corrugated cardboard paper, which not only is more environmentally sound than bubble wrap, 

but offers more padding and protection for your records. It helps the vinyl fit more snug in the mailer, allowing NO ROOM 

for any shifting. Which in turn, helps prevent seam splits, bends and pushes. We reuse every box that comes through our

doors and put them to good use. We personally cut 1” corner pieces from the recycled boxes to reinforce the corners on 

the outside of the record mailers. This is to assist in the protection of your vinyl in transit, as we know USPS isn’t widely 

known for handling so delicately at all times. We ship records that are in open and resealable poly sleeves outside of the jacket

 to prevent seam splits. If you purchase a sealed copy and would like us to open, and ship outside of the jacket, we will place

it in an open poly sleeve upon request.  Please read some of our positive feedbacks on packaging to confirm our methods accuracy. 

We find our customers happy with the care that is considered when wrapping their records, and they keep coming back for more!
