Recently purchased a large, mostly 80's metal record collection running the gamut from glam to thrash. I will be listing several of them in batches between all the other goodies I have in stock. Lots of desirable rarities and favorites from labels like Megaforce, Combat and New Renaissance. Condition range from GOOD to EXCELLENT with many having fan pattern markings (from record changer?) that go from light brushmarks to hard scuffs. They will all be play-tested before being listed with details on how the record played. Keep looking if you crave the metal!


Hard-to-find LP + 12"EP from Manilla Road titled "Open The Gates" released by Black Dragon Records (BD 002) in 1985. Original French pressing of this classic heavy metal masterpiece. Fourth effort from power metal trio led by singer/guitarist Mark Shelton. Two vinyl slabs with 10 total tracks that recall traditional metal with forays into thrash but more importantly some amazing epic tracks featuring memorable riffs. Essential!

TRACK LISTING:

A1 Metalstrom 5:20 A2 Open The Gates 2:25 A3 Astronomica 5:00 A4 Weavers Of The Web 4:10 B1 Heavy Metal To The World        3:20 B2 The Fires Of Mars 6:15 B3 Road Of Kings 5:50 B4 Hour Of The Dragon 4:50 C The Ninth Wave 9:30 D Witches' Brew 6:30

All labels are in EXCELLENT to NEAR MINT condition. Both vinyl records are in VG condition with several fan pattern shadowing, brushmarks and some surface scuffing from record changer. Both vinyls play with some surface noise at beginning of sides but not as noticeable while tunes are playing...a few stray clicks...still sounds great and closer to VG+! Cover is in VG++ condition with wear at lower corners, small scrapes on front and a couple of light creases...no splits or writing. Has both proper custom printed inner sleeves with one having a split more than halfway down one edge. NO RESERVE. Winner pays $4.00 media mail in the U.S. Priority mail and insurance are available at buyers expense.
