Original 1986 release on 2 x 45 rpm records.


I've just listened to it using a system with a new stylus and my findings are below. Overall, it plays through great with no jumps or sticks though there is crackle in quiet sections as detailed below. 

Disc 1

Side 1

1. Battery (5.10) - some crackle in quiet section at the beginning (approx 10 seconds) but can't be heard once the band kicks in and then sounds great.

2. Master Of Puppets (8.31) - plays great with a little crackle in quiet parts.

Side 2

1. The Thing That Should Not Be - crackly in quiet section at the beginning and some crackle (and clicks from a visible scratch) for approx 1 minute but then plays great with just a little crackle later.

2. Welcome Home (Sanitarium) (6.27) - crackle in the quiet section at the beginning and then great with just a couple of clicks near the end.

Disc 2

Side 3

1. Disposable Heroes (8.14) - plays great from the start.

2. Leper Messiah (5.39) - plays great.

Side 4 

1. Orion (8.23) - crackle and one pop during quiet section at the beginning but then plays great.

2. Damage Inc (5.32) - plays great with just a little crackle in quiet bits.


Unfortunately, it does not come with the poster.
