Up for sale all 3 versions of Kill 'em All (red,green,white)
~ 3 versions of Ride The Lightning (red,blue,white)
On all these records ,which are really nice to look at, the audio is ruined.
Owning these serves purely the collecting purpose and the one responsible for releasing these should be castrated!!!
Whos interested PM an offer.

this version is banging and is a top sounding release

One of my most spun records. If you love this why haven’t you added it to your collection? Maybe not considered their best but I will be spinning this soon!

My favorite presentation of the first three Metallica records. 45 RPM is tough to beat when done right.

Terrible release of an excellent album. Thin and harsh with no bottom end. I'm pretty sure an original 83 pressing would sound better than this "remaster"

Raw And Exciting Record!

Full Pot Tracklist

The Record Sounds Very Good!

I have several versions of this record, including the first US pressing. This is my preferred version, which I listen to the most. The bass and drums are the most powerful on this version.

Extremely harsh sounding and very bright/high end. An EQ is practically essential for this pressing but there’s only so much it can do. I’d go with a CD instead , this vinyl sounds worse than my MP3 when compared

Kinda crazy how good all of these Walmart copies of Metallica’s discography sounds. Damn good pressing. Their colored copies of Ride the Lightning AND Master of Puppets sound just as good.
