Silent Shots captures the danger, energy and swagger that made early Guns N’ Roses so exciting. Instead of a polished studio presentation, this is the band in full live flight: Axl’s unmistakable voice, Slash’s guitar cutting through the room and the classic Appetite-era line-up sounding hungry and unpredictable.
Collectors seek this release because it is an uncommon early-1990s Luxembourg pressing from Flashback Worldproductions, combining striking Axl Rose artwork with nine essential live performances. For the listener, it is a powerful set packed with favourites including Sweet Child O’ Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City and Knocking on Heaven’s Door.

The record retains a deep, glossy appearance with only a small number of light hairlines or sleeve-removal marks, mostly visible when tilted under strong direct light. Playback on our equipment was clean, full and detailed, with no skips. Only occasional brief background noise or isolated light clicks may be heard, without disturbing the music.
The sleeve remains bright and highly presentable, with strong artwork, intact seams and only light storage wear, small edge or corner marks and minor age-related creasing. It displays beautifully and will look excellent in a Guns N’ Roses collection.
We handle every record with genuine care. The vinyl will be supplied in a clean new inner sleeve, while the original cover will be protected by a new outer sleeve. Any original components included with the record are kept safely together.
The photographs show the actual record you will receive and form an important part of the description. If you would like another close-up or any additional information, please send us a message — we will be genuinely happy to help.
The vinyl will be removed from the cover for transit and carefully packed using protective sleeves, strong cardboard stiffeners and a purpose-made record mailer.
Collectable vinyl, honest descriptions and records selected with care.
