Bathory - s/t with yellow goat + Cro Mags w/ Run-DMC label…

Metal Monday vol.333:

Oh my lord, blasphemy of blasphemies… this guy has a straight flush. Metal Monday aint gonna be this good again for a while; OBSERVE: Bathory - s/t lp, catalog number BMLP 666-1. The yellow goat on the cover denotes that this is the first pressing of what really is the first black metal record (in sound, not merely in name). 1,000 made, rare as hell, and frankly, out of my price range. The yellow on the cover looks so much better than the white you’re used to, it’s a shame it’s so rarely seen. But that’s not the half of it muthamuchachos… the very same seller has listed an Age Of Quarrel with Run-DMC label on one side. As you may know this is the most collectible Cro-Mags record, and even though it’s metal monday, I can’t NOT mention it (anyway they toured with Venom, among others). I’m writing this on friday and my hands are shaking with anger. Here are 2 of the coolest collectible records (in my book), that are going to pass me by. If you have the money, put it up. That’s all I can really say. The value is only going up on these records. This could end here. I mean the guy could be selling 3 dozen junker 90’s emo 7″s and he’d still be killing it. It ain’t like that though. Instead, it’s fine fine pedigree of “tasty bites” that he’s got on the unholy auction block. Right now, this is like Metal Monday took a trip to that shoe store that you can’t go in unless you’re a celebrity and make an appointment. Everything is under glass and they sell those Nikes from Back To The Future 2 right next to Darth Vader’s boots.

Just to give you a rough idea, we got Metallica - Creeping Death on Blue, 1st Mercyful Fate 12″ on Rave-On, Kill ‘Em All picture disc on Megaforce, Hell Awaits picture disc on Metal Blade, Black Metal picture disc on Neat, Hellhammer - Apocalyptic Raids on Noise/Metal Blade, Morbid Tales on Noise w/ poster, Saint Vitus s/t, Phantom Lord lp, a Cloven Hoof 12″… I’m out of breath here. Oh right in the middle of all that is a nice
Feederz - Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss, and plenty more. Absolutely overwhelming, if nothing else, click through this stuff and marvel at how almost nothing sucks.
