FAQ

What does “New & factory sealed” mean?
The record is unplayed and still in the manufacturer’s original shrink wrap, so it carries no Goldmine grade.

Is this the original pressing?
No. The album first came out in 1983 on Megaforce and Music for Nations. This record is the remastered 2016 reissue on Metallica’s own label Blackened.

Why is Dave Mustaine in the credits?
Mustaine was Metallica’s lead guitarist until 1983. He co-wrote The Four Horsemen, Jump In The Fire, Phantom Lord and Metal Militia but does not play on the record; he went on to form Megadeth.

Do you have more Metallica records?
Yes, for example Kill 'Em All as the 1989 Vertigo edition, Ride The Lightning (2016) and ...And Justice For All (2018). More titles are in our Metal collection.
