Metallica - The $5.98 EP - Garage Days Re-Revisted - OG 1987 US Pressing (ARC)

I did a full album complete PLAY TEST on a high end Technics SL-1200MK7 turntable.  All turntables/needles (stylus) may sound/play differently but this should give you the most accurate idea of the audio quality.


Side 1 - Overall plays pretty nicely with no skips.  Track 1 sounds great with the tiniest bit of a "crackle" during the quiet part near the end of the track.  The crackling between track 1 & 2 is fairly significant.  The surface noise continues into the intro of track 2 but mostly subsides once the music kicks in. No Skips.
Side 2 - Track 1 has some light crackling at the beginning that goes away when the music starts and sounds good.  Track 2 has a light crackle during the intro that goes away when the music kicks in.  Track 3 sounds great.  No Skips.
The vinyl has surface marks and hairlines on both sides.  There are no deep scratches or anything that you could feel with a finger or anything like that.  The labels are clean and in very nice condition.  Includes the original Elektra Records inner sleeve.  The inner sleeve has a crease in the bottom corner and two seam splits.  Otherwise, it is in nice shape. The jacket has some creasing, corner and general wear.  There is a little bit of wear to the spine.  Despite it's signs of wear it is still a presentable jacket.    Overall, definitely a solid and playable copy.  Check out the video and the close up photos for a good idea of the jacket's condition.
Vinyl will be shipped outside of the jacket and placed in a new generic white inner sleeve to prevent any damage to the jacket and original inner sleeve during shipping.

*Most sellers either give a very general visual grading or a vague description.  I do my best to be as thorough as possible and describe things in great detail.  I am extremely picky and I realize sometimes this makes things sound worse than they actually are, but I believe that a buyer should not be disappointed when they receive a used album.  They should have an appropriate expectation and deserve as much detail as possible before making a decision.  Please contact me with and questions that you may have prior to purchase.*
