If you are looking at this hopefully you know how rare this is. The Predator EP was released in 1988 on Solid Records recorded and pressed in Dublin.


The four track record is in near mint condition with no real signs of play. It has been play tested from start to finish through all four tracks on a Rega P6.


The cover has a few indentations and some minor shelf wear this should be visible in the photos but is overall in pretty good condition there are no splits on any of the edges.


I am of course happy to answer any questions. I live in Northern Ireland and this is probably why I am lucky enough to own this record.


For those that don’t Predator were an Irish thrash metal band formed in 1987. Their first demo tape was released and sold in Dublin in 1988, with this four track vinyl EP being recorded in 1988 and released shortly after this. By all accounts there was quite a buzz around the group and they supported Anthrax and Queensryche on Irish tours before splitting up in 1992. They didn’t make it to a major label their physical recordings were only made in small numbers. It’s thought this record had somewhere around 1000 copies made and no doubt most are in Ireland. Obviously very rare and only very occasionally comes up for sale. A true Irish Heavy metal rarity for the collectors. I have had this for quite a few years but only played it once.


Record will be shipped in proper professional mailer with card stiffeners and tracked and insured.
