Collection of First Press Thrash, Death, and Black Metal LPs From Germany

In the video below are some albums I acquired from a collector in Germany. While it consists of just 23 albums and is much smaller than the size of collections I typically buy, there are some rare gems inside, and thus is worthy of a quick blog post.

These albums were sent through DHL, arrived quickly, and were well-packed. All are original pressings in VG+ condition or better. I will highlight some of the better items below.

Collection Highlights

In no particular order…

The Shining (Original Soundtrack) LP

The Shining (Original Soundtrack) LP 1980 Warner Bros WB 56 827 [GERMANY] VG+/EX – While this album is only metal-adjacent, it isn’t cheap. Despite its simple-looking 2-color art, this classic 1980 horror film soundtrack can easily fetch over $200.

Value $200- 250

Death Angel – The Ultra-Violence LP 

Death Angel – The Ultra-Violence LP 1987 Enigma – ST-73253 VG+/EX [Original US] – This album makes these lists a lot and is very sought after; for a 35-year-old album, this one was in excellent condition. 

Value $140

Destruction – Infernal Overkill LP

Destruction – Infernal Overkill LP 1985 Steamhammer – SH 0029 VG+ *DE w/ Poster – This classic Destruction album also makes these lists a lot. This copy is extra cool because this limited edition included the original intact poster.

Value $120

Bulldozer – The Day Of Wrath LP

Bulldozer – The Day Of Wrath LP 1985 Roadrunner Records – RR 9779 – This album from a band hailed as the “Venom of Italy” is an absolute classic proto-thrash/black metal masterpiece and is highly underrated. 

Value $100

Septic Death – Attention LP 

Septic Death – Attention LP 1990 Pusmort – PUS0023-OID VG+/EX – In the 80s, if you wanted to sell copies of your album, you needed a cover drawn by Pushead. Skeptic Death is Pushead’s (born Brian Schroeder), and this release is tough to find. 

Value $100
