SLAYER:  HELL AWAITS  LP  1985 Combat /  Metal Blade MX 8020 MBR 1040 USA 
1985 PRESSING WITH PRINTED INNER SLEEVE.
Record is in VG++ / NEAR MINT condition : a couple of super faint surface marks keep this record from being perfect. Pristine labels, super clean, really nice. Cover is in VG+ / VG++ condition : light spots of edge wear, light corner wear, minor ring indent. All seams/edges (including the opening) are super solid and straight, no splits. Spine is solid with a small spot of wear at the top inch only. The lamination / finish (like many pressings from this time), is more matte than gloss on the cover -- has a bit of that haze, which tends to show fingerprints, in this case the black area on back cover. No big deal, but that is why I am not grading this on the high end of VG++. Insert is in TERRIFIC shape, with only a small split at center of bottom seam, about an inch. Very light ring indent, almost no signs of previous handling, which is quite uncommon.
All records are guaranteed to be as described. I do my best to be thorough and accurate, and take photos in natural lighting to show as much detail as possible.   Records are visually graded unless noted. All items are securely packaged in professional mailers to survive rough handling while in transit.   Happy to combine multiple items. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
