Rare true first Megaforce pressing - the initial 1500 copies didn’t have the song lengths on the label and has a distinctive indent on the label.


Jacket is in solid shape. No splits, but some light general wear. Initial copies did not have a printed inner, but the original plain inner is intact and will be included.


The record itself I just did a full playtest with headphones. Easily VG+ sound - there’s a bit of surface noise between songs / when the album is quiet, but even a song like Anesthesia plays very well. No loud pops or skips, and the record lies completely flat. Whenever the music is loud it sounds perfect.


Visually the record has hairlines that can be seen when held up to light. It plays way better than it looks though, likely because those hairlines are from being stored in the paper inner before I purchased it. The record looks deep and glossy when looked at normally, but hold it up to a light and the flaws become visible.


Will be pricing this accordingly to account for those flaws, overall an excellent player copy. The record has also been ultrasonically cleaned.
