Description

*I am currently selling a collection of Heavy Metal and rock LPs, predominantly from the late 70’s to the early 90’s but with the odd outlier thrown in. All well looked after and some real rarities. I combine shipping and always remove the vinyl from the sleeve before packing and posting. Where anything other than a generic white inner is present, the vinyl is always placed in a brand new white inner to preserve the original. Brand new ‘clear glass’ plastic sleeves are added to all LPs. I describe items accurately as I know how disappointing it is to receive a much anticipated record where flaws have been glossed over or gone unmentioned. I try to listen to each record before describing it but if I don’t have time I will listen to selected parts to gauge the level of background noise and I will always listen to any passages where there are surface marks to judge the impact these have. I always give positive feedback after payment so the customer is able to give feedback purely judged on the service once they have received the item. If you are unhappy in any way I will refund with no questions asked. Thank you for your interest in this listing and please check out my other records.*

This listing:

Metallica

Master of Puppets

Music For Nations 1986

MFN 60

A fantastic copy of Metallica’s third and most highly regarded album.

This is the UK 1st pressing.

The sleeve is in Near Mint condition. The only real flaw is a fading of the original colour to the spine (see photos). This doesn’t affect the titles however and it still looks great on the shelf. The rest of the sleeve is superb.

The original inner is a stunning near mint copy - really crisp and vibrant.

The vinyl is great visually - great sheen and appears lovely and clean though light marks visible under strong light. It plays great with some background static audible in quieter parts and a clicking for a few seconds as the intro to Orion unfolds. Overall grading for the vinyl is Excellent.

Includes a Mint merchandise sheet which doesn’t have the tour dates on the back.

Here is the pressing info:
