Description

METALLICA - Load 2x LP - Original 1996 US First Pressing!! Elektra 61923-1 - VG/VG+


VG/VG+. Original 1996 USA pressing (Elektra)! Vinyl has surface wear from paper sleeves and a few light hairline scratches. S1 S3 S4 = VG+. S2 = VG with heavier static. Overall grade of VG+.


Cover nice with very faint ring on top and bottom of FC. Has both printed inserts!


I’ve had a couple of these and it seems the scuffing on Side 3 is something to do with the pressing. The exact shape, etc. is on all I’ve seen.


If you like METALLICA FIRST PRESSINGS, look at my other auctions (LOAD, GARAGE DAYS, Etc.)


I also recently acquired a small collection of original SEALED 1970s-1980s records and will be listing some of them over the next couple of weeks. Keep checking for RARE vintage unopened vinyl!!

Please ask all questions before bidding! All sales final/as-is (no returns). Thanks for looking and good luck!


Yes - I will combine shipping on multiple vinyl orders!!
