Description

Hello Metallica collectors :)

Up for sale is my original copy of “Load” on Elektra from 1996, played a handful of times. The cover is in excellent shape with only some tiny hints of wear and includes hype sticker. The records are in excellent shape, with only a tiny shallow mark at the very end of side 2, which doesn’t seem to effect play. There is some noticeable static in the opening and closing dead wax on one of the sides. The overall sound quality is great, with a broad sound stage and a nice punch. Both picture inserts are in nice shape, save for a couple of creases. Both discs are stored in anti-static audiophile sleeves for optimal record care.

This pressing seems to rate higher than the more recent Blackened Records reissue, and is the ‘preferred’ way to experience this album. Don’t hesitate to add this one to your collection today!

~cheers


This is part of a private collection, many items of which will be listed now and in the coming days. I will combine shipping, media mail (US bidders + 0.50 ea additional album). Happy bidding!

Grading: (vinyl/cover)

*All (unsealed) records play-graded extensively*

*All LPs will be packaged in strong cardboard mailers with inserts to ensure safe arrival to their new destination!*
