    I’m annoyed, I have an edition with sleeve Def Jam Recordings, the "W" in relief on the cover and the masterdisc inscriptions on the vinyl, but I can’t know if it is the unofficial or not

      I've had 3 fairly recent represses and the only thing I can tell you is that this one bury them all. More dynamic, clearer, more detailed... nothing but Araya's bass line is clear and much more audible... when it comes to the voice you have the impression of being yelled at live, if you close your eyes, you can smell Tom's breath

      Killer!

        Just came on here to browse and hopefully but R.I.B but i had no idea they would be so expensive. Think I'll stick with my CD copy.

          does the speed slow down in the end of Altar Of Sacrifice intentionally? or this is defect of re-recording?

              THE perfect album.
              Band pic on the back is taken at the Heavy Sound Festival in Belgium(85)where i saw them for the first time.
              It was their first show in Europe.

                Short and to the point. Thrashmetal masterclass in both sound and execution.

                    what more can I say except that this disc smashes my neck every time it spins on my turntable.. the pressing is impressive with a clarity and a rare violence. a massacre !!

                      Brilliant price/sound/collectability ratio for this pressing. This German 80s pressing has the feeling of something monumental and the sound is clear and brutal - very well engineered. Love it.
