Description
Original Owner – Archive Quality
I am the original owner of this 1985 Slayer masterpiece. I purchased it brand new in the mid-80s and have kept it in my personal collection for 40 years. It has been stored upright in a smoke-free, climate-controlled home.
Condition Details:
Vinyl: Near Mint (NM). Virtually unplayed (spun fewer than 10 times in 40 years).
Provenance: Upon purchase, I recorded this onto a cassette tape for daily listening to preserve the vinyl. The surface remains glossy and clean.
Visuals: No "milking," clouding, or browning—common issues with 80s picture discs.
Numbering: This is limited edition copy #2893. The number is clearly marked and 100% authentic.
Sleeve: Includes the original 1980s clear PVC sleeve.
Collector’s Verification:
Pressing: Authentic 1985 US First-Pressing.
Matrix / Runout: MXPD 8020 (Proof of original status, not a modern reissue).
Note: Because of the strict one-owner history and low play count, this is a top-tier investment piece for any Slayer completionist.
Shipping & Professional Packaging:
Carrier: Shipped via UPS Ground for superior tracking and insurance.
Safety First: To prevent "seam splits," the record will be removed from the PVC sleeve and placed in a separate protective inner sleeve during transit.
Mailers: Shipped in a heavy-duty, dedicated cardboard record mailer with extra internal stiffeners.
