FAQ

Is the band called JMP or MP?
The band is called MP, short for Metal Priests, as the song title MP (Metal Priests) shows. The spelling “JMP” in the product title is a typo.

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1986 German first issue on Steps Records with catalogue number 1C 066 1554891.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG (Very Good) means clear but not disturbing signs of use, on the sleeve for example edge and shelf wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
