• Signed Album Reverse: This is the reverse of the album cover, which was detached from the front, and only the reverse has been signed by the band.

• Authentication: Beckett LOA included (Cert #AB92806) – viewable on Beckett’s website for verification.

About the Album:
Released in 1984, Ride the Lightning is Metallica’s second studio album and a landmark release in heavy metal history. It features some of the band's most celebrated tracks, including:

• “Fade to Black”

• “For Whom the Bell Tolls”

• “Creeping Death”

• “Ride the Lightning”

Critically acclaimed for its musical growth, lyrical depth, and more refined production, the album has sold over 6 million copies in the U.S. alone and is frequently cited in “greatest metal albums of all time” lists.

This is a true collector’s piece celebrating one of Metallica’s most legendary records and the memory of a beloved and irreplaceable band member. A rare opportunity for any serious Metallica or rock memorabilia collector.
