FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1989 European first edition on Roadrunner Records on black vinyl. A picture disc edition was also released the same year.

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.

Do I need to know "Them"?
Not necessarily, but it helps: "Conspiracy" is the direct sequel to the story of the grandmother and "Amon" from the previous album "Them".

Do you have more King Diamond records?
Yes, for example King Diamond – "Them" (1988), King Diamond – Conspiracy (Picture Disc, 1989) and King Diamond – The Eye (1990). More titles are in our Metal collection.
