FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
It is the 1985 Canadian first edition on Viper Records. The very first release came out the same year in the Netherlands on Backdoor (824 806-1); the Canadian record is a contemporary licensed pressing.

What does the cut-out on the sleeve mean?
Cut-out copies were marked as remaindered stock by North American labels or dealers, usually with a clipped corner, a drill hole or a notch in the sleeve. The record itself is not affected.

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 Plus) means light signs of use that hardly affect the overall impression. The sleeve of this copy also has a small cut-out. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more records in this style?
Yes, for example Saxon – Power & The Glory from the same era. More titles are in our Metal collection.
