Why this pressing could matter to collectors:
- According to discographies, the original U.S. vinyl pressing uses catalog number IRS-42195, not a Combat number. :contentReference[oaicite:1]
- Run-out / matrix etchings vary: one documented variant is “IRS-7850 CR-2 / IRS-7851 CR-2” for first pressings. :contentReference[oaicite:2]
- Original pressing typically includes a double-sided lyric sheet, a T-shirt order form, and a “Mutants For Nukes” yellow hype sticker. :contentReference[oaicite:3]
- According to seller listings, first press LPs in shrink with hype sticker have sold for ~$119.50 USD. :contentReference[oaicite:4]
Condition:
[Describe the actual condition of your vinyl — any scuffs, surface noise, seam wear, insert condition, etc.]
Is it a first / valuable pressing?
- Confirm whether the lyric sheet, T-shirt order form, and hype sticker are present. Those extras increase collectible value significantly. :contentReference[oaicite:6]
- Despite being listed under “Combat” in your info, most reliable discographies list the U.S. release on **I.R.S.** — this may affect perceived rarity depending on buyer expectations.
Collector Notes:
- This album is a breakthrough for Nuclear Assault, featuring politically charged lyrics and excellent thrash riffing. :contentReference[oaicite:7]
- The track “Brainwashed” was one of their biggest early singles; other notable songs include “Rise from the Ashes” and their cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Good Times, Bad Times.” :contentReference[oaicite:8]
- Because the CD and later versions are rare or out of print, original 1988 vinyl pressings are particularly valued among fans. :contentReference[oaicite:9]
