FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1985 US first pressing on Chrysalis (BFV-41516), made in the USA.

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG+ mean?
VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect playback or overall appearance. It applies to both record and sleeve. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

What does the cut-out hole mean?
In the US, overstock records were often marked with a drilled hole, a clipped corner or a notch in the sleeve and sold off cheaply. The hole affects only the sleeve, not the record.

Do you have more Armored Saint records?
Yes, for example Armored Saint – Raising Fear (1987) and the European edition Armored Saint – Delirious Nomad (EU, 1986). More titles are in our Metal collection.
