Killer Rare Thrash Metal CD/LP Collection I Scored In LA For $600

This month’s update will be short and sweet. In the video below is a walk-through of a collection of rare thrash metal I bought locally in Los Angeles.

It consisted of six LPs and around 230 CDs ranging from the golden age 1980s metal up to more recent third wave thrash bands like Toxic Holocaust. The seller, who is an awesome guy I’d seen at metal shows over the years, brought the crate of CDS by my store in Hollywood. I asked him what he wanted, and he said $600 which I happily paid.

They sat in the receiving area for over a month before I finally went through them. If it had been last month, a rogue employee would have stolen over a quarter of them.

A Breakdown Of This Haul:

Although this collection was far from huge, there were a large number of albums that were worth well over $50.

Nuclear Assault – Handle With Care LP

Nuclear Assault – Handle With Care LP 1989 In-Effect [SEALED] [1ST PRESS ] – The seller told me this LP was a reissue, but it’s first press and in great shape.

Value = $125

Ulysses Siren – Above The Ashes CD

Ulysses Siren – Above The Ashes CD 2003 Relentless Records – RR0003000 – Released in 2003, this CD is a compilation of the band’s ’85 and 87 demos and is rare as hell.

Value = $100

Paradox – Heresy CD

Paradox – Heresy CD 2007 Metal Mind Productions – MASS 1047 [Gold Disc Digipak] – This reissue from the now defunct Metal Mind Records (Poland) is worth even more than a 1st press. Looks for all prices on the Metal Mind catalog to spike in the coming years.

Thanatos – Emerging from the Netherworlds CD 1990 Shark Records – 015 [Germany] – Killer death/trash that showed up on the scene just a hare too late. Great record!
