Seller's Notes: Original USA Press
Collector Notes: The 1984 second album and the one where the band proved they were more than speed — Fade To Black, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Creeping Death and the instrumental The Call Of Ktulu. Cliff Burton's harmonic sense is all over it, and Dave Mustaine still holds writing credits on two tracks. Pressed by WEA Manufacturing. The rear insert carries Elektra's original note about the analog source tapes. Disc shows a few visible marks, that do not affect play, play tested. Booklet is clean and sharp, shows minimal signs of wear! SCARCE OG USA PRESS!
