this album still holds up to this day. a must have for every old school metal fan. i read some of the reviews here and i don’t think it’s a bad production. it’s a great album and it still sounds fantastic.

My copy has a misprinted innersleeve: it has bandphoto-side twice, on both sides. The side on which the lyrics are printed, is missing.
Is this common? If so, should I make a note ("Some copies have a misprinted innersleeve...")? Or does this qualify for a new entry?
