BAND: OMEN

ITEM: "BATTLE CRY" LP

YEAR: 1984

LABEL: METAL BLADE RECORDS (RARE GATEFOLD PRESSING!)

THIS IS A RARE, ORIGINAL VINYL COPY OF OMEN'S "BATTLE CRY" LP.  THIS LP HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF POWER METAL!  EVER!  EVER!  THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST LPS EVER RECORDED!  I HAVE FREINDS IN BIG BANDS THAT PLAY GUITAR WHO ARE AMAZED WHEN I PLAY THIS ALBUM FOR THEM!  I ALSO HAVE ON CD, SO THIS LP HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED IN OVER 20 YEARS+!  REALLY, EVERY SONG ON THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING AND MEMORABLE!  I REMEMBER SEEING THE ADS IN CIRCUS MAGAZINE AND HIT PARADER AND SAYING TO MYSELF..."WHERE CAN I BUY THIS RECORD?".  IT TOOK SOME LONG, HARD SEARCHING AND I HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER IT BECAUSE METAL BLADE RECORDS WAS NOT BIG AT THE TIME! 

IN THE DAYS OF DARKNESS, MAN FEARED NOT THE SWORD AND THE LANCE...NOR DID HE FEAR THE BEAST OF FIRE...HE FEARED...THE AXEMAN!!!

OVERALL, THIS LP IS IN VERY,VERY GOOD CONDITION CONSIDERING ITS AGE.  ONE SMALL MARK ON THE SPINE AND THE REST IS GOOD!  NOT BAD FOR 1984!!!  MOST OF MY LPS HAVE BEEN KEPT IN SLEEVES AND I HAVE TRIED WITH THE UTMOST CARE OF THE YEARS TO KEEP THEM IN THE MOST PRISTINE CONDITION POSSIBLE.

IF ANY BLEMISHES, NICKS, TEARS, FOLDS, OR BENDS ARE WORTH NOTING I WILL DESCRIBE HER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.  ANY SPOTS IN THE PHOTOS ARE FROM MY CAMERA FLASH.
