*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.*

This listing:

Slayer

Hell Awaits

Roadrunner RR 9795 1985

Great copy of Slayer’s second album.

The sleeve is VG+. It is clean and vibrant with a nice spine and would be excellent if not for some markings on the back where someone has used the sleeve to rest on while doing some scribbling. This has caused some lined indentations on the back visible from some angles. There is also a scrape on the front panel at the bottom visible on the first photo. Nevertheless, a decent example with not too much storage or handling wear.

The original Inner sleeve is clean with no splits and only minor handling evidence - a near excellent copy.

The vinyl is excellent. A shiny playing surface with no major marks. While this record doesn’t match the production on the ensuing Rick Rubin albums, it is a great listen - this copy with barely any background noise - the fade in on the title track can be turned right up.
