This listing is for a nice copy of the classic "Master of Puppets" LP by the mighty Metallica!  This is the original U.S. pressing on Elektra Records (Elektra 9 60439-1).  The LP itself rates as a VG+ due to a few scuffs that can be seen when holding the record under a bright light.  There's also one visible mark on Side 1 that is just barely audible during the quiet parts of Welcome Home (Sanitarium), but overall it plays quietly for a VG+ (see photos). The issues are magnified by the bright light in the photos, I'm being very conservative here.  This is from my personal collection and I would play grade it stronger than a VG+.  Much better sonically than the reissues as well.  The cover is VG+ but would almost pass for NM- if it weren't for a slight scuff on the back cover (bottom left corner).  The corners themselves are in good shape and there is only a slight bit of ringwear.  The original inner sleeve is missing and was replaced with a poly-lined sleeve somewhere along the way.  Overall, a nice copy of this record that's getting harder and harder to find in good shape.  I have documented all issues in the photos, so please zoom in and look closely.  I'll ship in a poly sleeve with the LP/inner removed from the cover to avoid seam splits.  It'll be shipped in a sturdy cardboard LP mailer via USPS media mail with tracking.  Thanks for looking!u
