FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. Against was released in 1998 on Roadrunner. This copy is the 2022 reissue on BMG, half-speed mastered on 180g vinyl.

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.

What does half-speed mastered mean?
When the lacquer is cut, the source and the cutting lathe run at half speed. This lets the cutting stylus trace the groove more precisely, especially at high frequencies.

Do you have more Sepultura records?
Yes, for example Sepultura – Nation (Half-Speed Mastered, 2LP) or Sepultura – Live In São Paulo (smokey vinyl, 2LP). More titles are in our Metal collection.
