Slayer-Hell Awaits (Metal Blade/Combat 1985).  Rare original copy of this legendary heavy metal album.  Includes the Slatanic Wehrmacht insert and the photo/lyric inner sleeve.     

Condition:  This record has been completely play graded from beginning to end.  Overall the record plays strong with some scattered light tics, some light crackle in the dead wax between songs, and four clicks in the beginning of Hell Awaits (during the quiet introductory buildup part before the thrash kicks in).  The record grades as a VG+ with some light non-feelable hairline scratches, scuffs, scuffs marks, and one small spot of groove wear.  The cover grades as a VG+ with some creases and bend marks, worn and knocked corners, edge wear, and light overall wear.  The Slatanic Wehrmacht insert is intact with creases, bend marks, and knocked corners.  The photo/lyric inner sleeve is intact but does have three splits:  a three-inch bottom center seam split, a three-inch center seam split on one side, and a two-inch center seam split on the other side.
