*I am currently selling a collection of Heavy Metal and rock LPs, predominantly from the late 70’s to the early 90’s but with the odd outlier thrown in. All well looked after and some real rarities. I combine shipping and always remove the vinyl from the sleeve before packing and posting. Where anything other than a generic white inner is present, the vinyl is always placed in a brand new white inner to preserve the original. Brand new ‘clear glass’ plastic sleeves are added to all LPs. I describe items accurately as I know how disappointing it is to receive a much anticipated record where flaws have been glossed over or gone unmentioned. I try to listen to each record before describing it but if I don’t have time I will listen to selected parts to gauge the level of background noise and I will always listen to any passages where there are surface marks to judge the impact these have. I always give positive feedback after payment so the customer is able to give feedback purely judged on the service once they have received the item. If you are unhappy in any way I will refund with no questions asked. Thank you for your interest in this listing and please check out my other records.*

The sleeve is in near to excellent condition with minor handling wear. Original lyric inner is in Excellent condition with minimal handling wear and no splits.

The vinyl is visually excellent+ and the audio is fantastic. The early albums didn’t match up production wise with the later Def Jam albums but this is a great way to listen to what is, in my opinion, a hugely under rated album, clearly showing the band’s early NWOBHM influence before they found their own sound.

Overall a great original copy of an increasingly sought after LP.
