Description

Metallica

Ride the Lightning

1984 Megaforce Records US first pressing



The record was played on a Rega Planar 6 and sounds excellent without any skips, jumps, or pops. There are minor superficial marks on the vinyl that do not affect play.


There is a bit of wear on the spine and top of the sleeve as seen in the photos. This comes with the original inner sleeve which is in great condition. This album however does not have the initial metal militia insert.


This is a very early first pressing as shown by the A-1 A-1

matrix numbers (refereed as variant 1 according to Discogs.)


The matrix numbers are as follows:

Side A

MRI-769 A > MASTERING BY FRANKFORD/WAYNE NEW YORK c L.I. * A-1

Side B

MRI-769 B > A-1

(I did my best to recreate the right pointing triangle (>) the cent sign (c) and the star (*) as seen in the photos)



This record will be shipped via USPS with shipping insurance.


Please feel free to contact me with any questions or reasonable offers.


Thanks for looking!
