Mercyful Fate – Melissa

Great sounding press, the guitars are so freaking perfect. Crystal clear.

Hello, i have a copy in NM conditions, played once! DM me!

Unofficial Polish release circa 1987-88.
Includes a vinyl recording of the first press version of Roadrunner or Megaforce (the samé sounds versions : added reverbs, no Diamond vocals on the title track during the guitar solo, and a different mix of Melissa and Black Funeral tracks).
One or two tracks were faded out at the end).
I had one of these in green, not black 1988.

A solid edition of an absolute classic (I prefer this over Don't Break The Oath). Thomas Holm's cover art is brilliant. Yellow vinyl is gorgeous. Comes with a shitty paper sleeve, I've replaced mine with a polylined one.

I'm looking for the lyric sheet insert. I have a first pressing, but it's missing the insert (or it didn't come with one). If you have a spare, please hit me up.

it doesn't have any sort of limited edition pressing not even on the record labels website does it say it is limited edition and here is proof with the same exact version of vinyl

This Music For Nations release also contains the version of Melissa with missing vocals and additional reverb on vocals.

No idea what all this hoo-hah is about this sounding compressed, that's simply not true. Pressing is also dead silent!

This is the original "European/Roadrunner" version. Many copies has cutout holes through the booklet, probably done in period of time when traditional metal was dying (especially in the united states) and die-hard metal freaks had a their small paradise on earth. Damn, good times.
