Super Rare 1984 Rose Bayonet Leather and Chains LP – Original First Pressing
N.Z. Metal Production Co. – PRA 2045

Up for sale is a highly sought-after and ultra-rare original 1984 pressing of Rose Bayonet’s Leather and Chains. This is a true gem for heavy metal collectors, limited to just 500 copies. The band, hailing from New Zealand, crafted a sound heavily influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), making this record a unique blend of raw power and vintage metal energy.

The quirks that make this record truly special include its iconic cover art, instantly recognisable as a piece of heavy metal history, and the infamous mislabeling of the sides as 3 and 4 (despite no other records in existence with sides 1 and 2!). These errors only add to the rarity and collectibility of this album.

Important: This is NOT the 2020 reissue. This is the original, first pressing from 1984, with all its authentic details and flaws.

Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of underground metal history!
