Rare 80s Thrash Metal Vinyl Collection I Just Bought From Europe

I bought This killer super-rare vinyl collection from a guy in Europe. The original owner contacted me through my blog, and we exchanged emails over a few weeks. It took a bit to get comfortable wiring thousands of dollars overseas to someone I didn’t know, but I always buy heavy metal records and CD collections, and I’ve never had an issue.

The embedded video is a walkthrough of everything included in this epic thrash metal collection, which consists of 177 albums. Included, were about 15 of them were non-thrash guitar nerd albums, so I removed them to stick to the thrash for this video.

Photo Gallery

Below is a photo gallery of some of the standouts, although most of them were pretty epic. The vinyl was at worst VG+, and quite a bit is EX / NM. The original owner stored all these albums in protective sleeves, so the album jacket quality is impressive, with 95% being VG+ to NM.

Unboxing Video

We filmed this video as I unboxed the album collection for the first time when it first arrived from Belgium.

So much suspense!

List Of Titles

I had a good idea of what titles were included in this collection, although to be honest, I was not 100% sure either! The original owner never compiled a list. He hand-wrote lists of the titles in this collection of paper and then emailed me photos. (see below)
