Description
SABRE - Keepers of the Sword. Limited to a pressing of only 500, most were handed out or sold at shows. It has since become one of the most sought-after underground heavy metal releases. The band was comprised of four men serving in the U.S. Army and stationed in Karlsruhe, Germany. They played between 1983 and 1986 in and around the Karlsruhe area and apparently drew quite a crowd.
The vinyl is in beautiful condition, retaining a high gloss shine. Labels are clean, no marks around spindle holes, indicating little previous play. Very clean. Grade on vinyl is VG+. It has a mark on one side (pictured) that does not affect playback at all. It's entirely superficial. Vinyl plays closer to NM. Looks like it's only been played a couple of times
Grading on the sleeve is VG+ due to light ring wear. Overall in great shape with no seam splits. Please see pictures.
