1st UK pressing of Metallica’s self titled fifth album.

Released when vinyl sales were going into decline, not huge amounts were pressed and this double album is now quite scarce.

According to discogs there were two 1991 pressings of this album in the UK, the first was stamped A2,B2,A1,B1 the second variant was stamped A2,B2,A1,B2.

The copy listed is the first ‘B1’ variant and as such the true first pressing.

The sleeve is in Excellent condition, a really vibrant and robust copy with square spine and no ringwear - unusual to find in this condition. Slightly bent in one corner but only noticeable as everything else is in such good order.

The inners are about excellent with no splits and very little handling wear.

The records are also excellent. The audio is strong with little background static.

Overall a fantastically well preserved example of this increasingly scarce double LP.
