FIRST PRESSING - Megaforce Records MRI 769 - of this all-time scorcher. Includes original inner sleeve & catalog - merch sheet.
VINYL: Play tested VG++ / VG(+)
SIDE A: VG++ cpl seconds crackle in run in groove, Light hairlines, DNAP, a LOUD beautiful racket. Spot of crack between "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "Fade to Black" tho' the acoustic intro itself is clean. As everyone who's heard this pressing attests, it sounds incredible.
SIDE B: VG(+) Spot of crackle on Side B run in groove, then the music BLASTS it away. Small small scratch on "Escape" causes 10 or 11 light "ticks" with more tick in the band before "Creeping Death" BLASTS in. Bits of crackle & one tick on intro "The Call of KTULU" intro, then clean & LOUD to finish.
**
COVER has slight ring wear spot top front & rear. Lower right corner has slight ding, bit of wear on lower left corner.
Inner sleeve seams are all excellent, some imprinting and wrinkles per usual.
Catalog insert was folded at some point, the paper is decent heavy stock, however, and holds up well.
Please write if you have detailed questions abot condition etc.
**
If you can live with the "Escape" ticks... I will pack this for the figurative Apocalypse & promptly ship.
