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 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 has some minimal wear but is in solid VG+ condition. The inner sleeves are VG too. There are no splits but some handling wear.
The records have no scratches, just light hairlines and maintain their sheen. The audio is excellent with very little background interference. There are barely any spindle marks, the records have clearly been well cared for!and look and sound terrific.
Overall a very collectible copy of an increasingly scarce album.
