METALLICA Ride The Lightning (French Green Sleeve 1984) Music For Nations *RARE.
Extremely rare green sleeve w/blue coloured vinyl, Misic For Nations label release.
These were first-run French copies but no one seems to know whether they were from the initial 400 print-run or the following 600 print-run, or a separate run altogether.
A search on Discogs doesn’t answer the question, only that the blue vinyl was released in much smaller numbers than the black vinyl/red Bernett label.
There is no inner lyric sleeve and there is a small dent on the lower right-hand corner of the front sleeve.
The vinyl itself is flawless - as perfect a copy as you’re ever likely to find. It sounds no different to the regular version.
*Examples of what it’s sold for previously are included with the pics.
