Description
No BS - this is my own first edition, first pressing of Metallica’s ultimate vinyl Ride the Lightning! I bought it as soon as it was released in 1984, and I played it often. But I kept it in shape, stored in its all original cover plus an album bag. Side A has a shallow scratch that doesn’t affect play. The cover shows some expected wear, but the original inner sleeve looks really good! Check out the photos and feel free to ask for more and any questions.
Great etchings…
Side 1 “MRI 769A L.1.*A-1”
Side 2 “MRI 769B A-1”
Both sides have an etching of a sideways triangle with a dot (looks like a mouse face to me) and stamped “MASTERING BY FRANKFORD/WAYNE NEW YORK”
I was at the secret show in LA when they played these songs prepping for the tour and it was unbelievable…fast, heavy and tight. The magic of those days at the beginning of American Trash still awes me. Enjoy it!
