Metallica & Slipknot heading to Australia

METALLICA Kill 'Em All (Rare Test Pressing for the Limited Edition 2008 US 10-track LP pressed on 180gram Vinyl, the magnificent debut first released in 1983 & half speed mastered at Mobile Fidelity from the original analog master tapes. The label is custom blue on white & issued by RTI Record Technology with rubber stamped catalogue number, side detail & matching plain white sleeve. The proposed 'February 8 2008' release date is also stamped on the label & sleeve. These ultra rare test discs were produced in tiny numbers for sonic review & never intended for sale. The disc reveals some faint cosmetic wear as part of the pressing process [this is a test press after all] & is otherwise near 'as new')

METALLICA Death Magnetic (2008 1st press US exclusive limited edition 10-track 2-LP set pressed on 160gram Vinyl ['Because Sound Matters'] - Produced by the legendary Rick Rubin, Metallica's 9th studio album 'Death Magnetic' wasrecorded in Sound City Studios and is the 1st time they have recorded outside of the Bay Area since the recording of 'The Black Album' at the One-on-One Studios in '90 & '91; includes the singles 'All Nightmare Long' and 'Broken, Beat And Scarred', presented in sealed & stickered gatefold sleeve)

METALLICA Ride The Lightning (Sealed Test Pressing for the Limited Edition 2008 US 8-track 45rpm double LP pressed on 180gram Vinyl, originally released in 1984 & half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes at Mobile Fidelity. Confusingly, the release only came out as a single disc in 2008 under this catalogue number, but as a double two years later [on blue vinyl no less, this is black]. Both test discs remain unopened & unplayed in sealed tearbags with the perforated breather holes, housed in plain white sleeves with rubber stamped catalogue numbers, side details & the proposed 'March 6 2008' review date. A mint investment grade package!)
