Description
Venom – 10 track vinyl Black Metal LP released on Neat Records in 1982 (NEAT 1005)
You are bidding for an original UK pressing of the much sought after marbled grey vinyl edition of the classic Venom Black Metal LP. This copy comes complete with the embossed sleeve and features the following tracks:
Black Metal
To Hell and Back
Buried Alive
Raise the Dead
Teachers Pet
Leave me in Hell
Sacrifice
Heavens on Fire
Countess Bathory
Don’t Burn the Witch
At War with Satan (introduction)
Visually the vinyl is in nice condition, there are few light marks visible under a good light but nothing serious. The labels are also in great condition with just some evidence of spindle marking.
Playing reveals some background noise (light crackle) between tracks and during the quiet introduction to Buried Alive which is possibly due to the quality of the pressing on the marbled vinyl. There is an occasional click and pop but no serious audible defects, so I would grade the vinyl as Vg+.
The embossed sleeve is clean but has some ring wear, minor creasing and general wear and tear. Again I think a Vg+ grading is fair.
Overall then a collectable copy of a rare album which I would grade as Vg+/Vg+ (vinyl / sleeve). I have included numerous photos and always try to grade accurately - this would have been graded much higher by many sellers who don’t fully play test records, and I offer a money back guarantee if the buyer is not fully satisfied.

All vinyl is played in full using a top quality turntable and headphones, to ensure an accurate grading is made and suitable comments relating to the pressing are included in the listing.
