Up for sale is a killer 2-LP lot of ultra-rare original pressings on Roadster Records, the legendary independent label run by Manilla Road in the early 1980s out of Wichita, Kansas. These are cornerstone releases in underground heavy metal history—perfect for collectors of classic US power metal, epic/doom metal, and obscure 80s private press gems!

1. Manilla Road - Crystal Logic (Roadster Records MR 1003, 1983, Original US Pressing)

The undisputed masterpiece and breakthrough album from Manilla Road! Released in December 1983, this LP defined their epic, fantasy-driven heavy metal sound with soaring guitars, mystical lyrics, and raw energy. Widely regarded as one of the top heavy metal albums of 1983 (often ranked among the best in the genre), it includes iconic tracks like:

Necropolis

Flaming Metal Systems

Crystal Logic

The Riddle Master

Dreams of Eschaton / Epilogue

Catalog # MR 1003, full-length 12" vinyl (33⅓ RPM). Features the original cover art and printed lyric inner sleeve. A must-have for any Manilla Road fan or collector of early US power metal.

2. Stygian Shore - Stygian Shore (Self-Titled) (Roadster Records SS 2001, 1984, Original US Pressing)

The only other band ever released on Roadster Records besides Manilla Road themselves! This ultra-obscure self-titled EP/LP from 1984 delivers raw, heavy, doom-tinged metal with dark atmospheres and powerful riffs. A true hidden gem of the 80s Midwest metal scene—super rare and highly sought-after by collectors. Tracks include the band's signature heavy sound on this 12" vinyl.

Why this lot?

Both albums are original first-pressings from Roadster Records (the short-lived label tied directly to Manilla Road's early days). Crystal Logic is a genre classic that's been reissued many times because the original is so desirable. Stygian Shore is even scarcer—few copies surface! Selling together as a bundled lot to keep these Kansas metal artifacts with a true fan or collector.

Condition: NEW!

These are not reissues—pure 1980s originals! No international reissues or later represses here.

Perfect for fans of Manilla Road, early Cirith Ungol, Trouble, Pentagram, or anyone hunting private-press heavy metal from the NWOBHM/early US power era.
