FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This picture disc was released by Roadrunner in 1989, the year the album came out, and made in England. According to Discogs there is a similar variant with a white instead of a yellow background on the back side.

What does Media NM- / plain PVC sleeve mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal signs of play. The picture disc comes in a new plain PVC sleeve so the artwork stays visible; no printed sleeve is included. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do I need to know “Them”?
Not necessarily, but Conspiracy is the second part of the House of Amon story. To follow the whole plot, start with “Them” from 1988.

Do you have more King Diamond records?
Yes, for example King Diamond – “Them”, King Diamond – Abigail and Conspiracy as black EU original pressing. From his earlier band there is Mercyful Fate – Melissa.
