Description
"...And Justice for All" is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on August 25th 1988, by Elektra Records. It was their first album to feature bassist Jason Newsted, following the death of Cliff Burton in 1986. Newsted had previously appeared on Metallica's 1987 EP "The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Revisited." "...And Justice for All" features progressive metal music, very fast tempos, and few verse-chorus structures. The songs' dark lyrics have themes of political and legal injustice, the prism of war, censored speech, and nuclear brinkmanship. The front cover depicts the statue of Lady Justice cracked, blindfolded, and bound by ropes with her breasts exposed and both of her scales filled with dollars. The words "...And Justice for All" are written in graffiti-like lettering to the right. The cover art was created by Stephen Gorman, based on a concept developed by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. "...And Justice for All" was acclaimed by music critics. The album was ranked at number nine in IGN's Top 25 Metal Albums, while the single "One" won the group's first ever Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1990. The album was certified 8x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on June 9, 2003 having shipped eight million copies in the United States. This is the Original 1988 US Vinyl (2) Pressing on the Elektra / Asylum label. Catalog # on the spine is: 9 60812-1. Bar code matrix # is : 0 7559-60812-1 4. Cover is graded by Goldmine standards as VG+. Both vinyl's are visually graded as EX+/ NM. They look absolutely wonderful with little to no spindal wear. Comes with Original inner sleeves (intact). I have never played these vinyl's, as I like to keep my "used" records intact. I also have this on cd. Record was stored in a heavy duty anvil case since 2006 and comes from a smoke / pet free home. Shipped following business day as soon as payment is received. Media Mail ($6) will take at least 3 to 5 weeks due to being shipped by boat from Hawaii...not air! Priority is $11, not $7 from Hawaii. International bidders please contact.
