Insane Collection Of Rare Death Metal LPs & CDs from the UK

Insane Collection Of Mega Rare 1st Press Death Metal LPs & CDs I Just Got From The UK

Below is a quick tour of a collection I bought from a guy in the UK. I included a list of everything contained at the end of this post.

A collector contacted me a few months ago and sent me a list of everything they had for sale. To determine the price, they sent me a list of the titles and a few example photos that were somewhat deceptive to represent the grading of the CDs. I’m sharing more on this below.

Pricing / Shipping Method

We agreed on a price ($3200 + shipping costs) and had to figure out a shipping method from the UK. Typically, shipping from Europe via FedEx or UPS is the least expensive. DHL is the best choice for shipping from England, though prices have risen quite a bit for their already costly service. The value of the Euro to the dollar is less lopsided than it used to be, with the exchange rate hovering near 1 for 1 now, making it a buyer’s market if you are in the US.

I sent the money via PayPal, and the seller shipped the collection out the next day.

Issues

Sadly, when the collection arrived, it became clear that the example photos of the CDs did not represent the vast majority of the collection. 70% came covered in mold and quite scratched. I contacted the seller, but they seemed uninterested in fixing the problem. I considered disputing through PayPal because this sale is covered by buyer protection. Ultimately, I did not dispute it once it was put for sale because I saw I could make a decent return. Luckily, the record grading was better than described.

Killer CD Collection of Rare Iron Maiden / Import Black Metal

Killer CD Collection of Extremely Rare Iron Maiden Import Black Death Metal

The video below shows an incredible collection of rare Iron Maiden and even rarer black metal. I picked this up from a guy in Texas whose father recently passed away and was for sale by family. Sadly, this is how I encounter more and more sellers when I buy heavy metal LP and CD collections.

There were a couple of stand-out things about this collection.

Rare Unofficial Iron Maiden CDs

The first was a crazy selection of sealed Iron Maiden bootlegs. Ten CDs recorded from the Legacy of The Beast Tour 2019 in various cities were sealed, and some very impressive artwork included that I could have sworn was painted by Derek Riggs himself.

IRON MAIDEN LEGACY OF THE BEST CD COVER
IRON MAIDEN LEGACY OF THE BEST CD BACK COVER

Unfortunately, these Iron Maiden CDs are unofficial and can’t be sold in my eBay store, but you can pick them up from me directly if you contact me. I will give you a great deal on the whole lot.

Rare Blackmoon Records Black Metal CD

Next up is the extremely rare Blackmoon Records from Poland. Like the Iron Maiden, all of these CDs are technically “unofficial,” but you can get away with selling these on eBay because of bands like Horna, Moonblood, and Sargeist. One interesting thing about Moonblood is that even though they are a legendary black metal band, everything they released until 2014 was a bootleg of demo recordings.

MOONBLOOD DWELLING IN DARKNESS CD
MOONBLOOD MORBID CRIES FROM A FORGOTTEN KINGDOM

When I was a kid, my parents only listened to very lame music like Barbra Streisand. Props to this guy for listening to some very based black metal and killer Iron Maiden. While it is very sad that this true metal warrior has moved on to Valhalla, his music will live on.

I am always looking to buy collections like this, no matter where you are in the Uniited States or the world.

Massive Collection of Death Metal, Goregrind, Grindcore, & Cybergrind CDs

goregrind collection

In the video below are some highlights from a collection of death metal, goregrind, pornogrind, and cyberbrind CDs I bought from a collector in Seattle. I had to cut the video short and edit it for YouTube to keep my channel from getting a strike because of the graphic nature of some of these covers.

For those unaware, goregrind is an offshoot of death metal initially pioneered by UK’s Carcass. It existed as an extreme sub-genre of death metal before breaking off into even more extreme sub-genres such as goregrind and pornogrind by bands like Meatshits, Lividity, Anal Blast, and Waco Jesus.

Collection Highlights

Here are some of the rare and valuable CDs in this collection. I decided to use the censored photos to avoid getting this blog in hot water with the powers at Google.

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

New Collection of Near Mint First Press Thrash, Death, and Black Metal LPs I Just Got 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.

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]

Bulldozer – The Day Of Wrath LP 1985 Roadrunner Records – RR 9779

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

Collection of Rare High-Value Black, Death & Heavy Metal CDs

Collection of Rare High-Value Black, Death & Heavy Metal CDs

Below are some highlights from a relatively small collection of CDs I bought from a private collector.

Even though this black and death metal CD collection is much smaller than the ones I usually get, I paid the guy $700 for it because a few rare/valuable CDs were included. Some of the conditions of the playing surfaces of some discs could have been better.

I am only interested in VG and up when buying metal CD collections. Many people think that “if the CD will play all the way through without skipping” means it is in very good condition, but this is not true. CDs with significant marks become worth substantially less and lose much resale value. If you want to grade your CDs, more information can be found here.

Highlights From This Collection

The entries below contain info about some of the more valuable CDs in the collection and their corresponding values.

The Black Dahlia Murder – A Cold-Blooded Epitaph CD

The Black Dahlia Murder - A Cold-Blooded Epitaph CD 2002 Lovelost Records – LL01

The Black Dahlia Murder – A Cold-Blooded Epitaph CD 2002 Lovelost Records – LL01 is one of the most expensive CDs I bought in ANY collectionA Cold-Blooded Epitaph was Black Dahlia Murder’s self-released debut. In years since 2002, the band has ascended to legendary status in the deathcore community, making this CD a rare find.

Value: $300

Black Dawn – Blood For Satan CD

Black Dawn - Blood For Satan CD 2001 Necropolis Records – NR069

Black Dawn – Blood For Satan CD 2001 Necropolis Records – NR069 has two releases. One version was on Season of Mist, and this version was on Necropolis Records. The Necropolis is the rarer of the two.

Mercyful Fate ‎– Melissa CD 1989 Caroline Records ‎CAROL CD 1385

Mercyful Fate ‎– Melissa CD 1989 Caroline Records ‎CAROL CD 1385 was the third printing of Mercyful Fate’s legendary debut full-length. The original 1985 pressing comes in a cheap-looking slimline case but is worth $250.

Value: $80

Tribulation – The Formulas Of Death CD

Tribulation – The Formulas Of Death CD 2013 The Ajna Offensive – FLAME77 -

Tribulation – The Formulas Of Death CD 2013 The Ajna Offensive – FLAME77 – I’m not sure why this one sells for so much, but it does; I have had several sell at this price.

Collection of 2500 Japanese Death, Thrash & Heavy Metal CDs 

Collection of 2500 Japanese Death, Thrash & Heavy Metal CDs 

In the video below is a small portion of over 2500 metal CDs I just bought. Almost all are near-mint, over half are rare Japanese pressings, and many are sealed.

This remarkable collection was inherited by a daughter whose father had recently passed away. Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve bought heavy metal records and CD collections like this in my short career.

It was my understanding that the father died way too young, at the age of 60. What is remarkable about this collection is it spans the entire length of the genre, from Black Sabbath to bands that came out in the last few years.

Using PayPal and Trust

This transaction was a five-figure deal. Often, I am asked how I feel comfortable buying collections like this sight unseen. How buyers can feel comfortable working with me? I do all of these out-of-state deals through PayPal as goods and services. I pay the seller in full before their mailing. Paying upfront locks me into the agreement and assures the seller I’m a man of my word.

When you use PayPal as “goods and services,” you are allowing PayPal to act as an impartial referee. It creates a type of escrow between you and the seller. If something goes wrong, you can open a dispute inside PayPal, and they will sort it out. I have only had to do this once in hundreds of transactions. It’s good to know that 99% of people are honest.

Using PayPal insures both parties should it get lost in the mail or damaged because of improper packing or postal abuse.

PayPal sometimes holds for a few days before releasing them, but it usually does not. Fees go to the seller at 2.9%, which is quite reasonable.

Great Features In This Collection

All Japanese CDs in this collection are still factory-sealed with the OBI strip, genuinely “near mint.”Many are in SHM-CD format. SHM is a specialized audiophile format for which you need a Japanese SHM CD player, but it will normally play on a standard player.

Most of the non-import versions of the CDs are the deluxe collector versions that frequently include extra tracks, patches, and bonus tracks.

aborted global flatline cd with bonus tracks

Regardless of value, every CD in this collection is housed in plastic collector sleeves.

That is all for this blog post; I will have to spread this out among a few posts because of the size of this collection.

Collection of 950 First Press Heavy, Death, and Thrash Metal CDs

I am guilty of spending more time in these blog posts covering the crazy vinyl collections I buy, never highlighting any awesome CD collections I acquire. I am picking up nearly ten CD collections for every vinyl collection I buy, yet I rarely feature them. That all changes with this month’s blog update.

The video below features a quick tour of a collection of nearly 1,000 heavy, death, and thrash metal CDs I bought from a collector in South Carolina. While many of these CDs are pretty common stuff you see frequently, there were definitely some gems in there.

Some CDs had more scratches than I would have liked, and quite a few club/BMG discs were in there. All in all, I’m happy with this purchase. At least the seller packed the CDs really well.

The Gems

Here is a list of some of the better discs in this collection.

Cannibal Corpse – Tomb of the Mutilated CD

Cannibal Corpse - Tomb of the Mutilated CD 1992 Metal Blade - 3984-14003-2

Cannibal Corpse – Tomb of the Mutilated CD 1992 Metal Blade – 3984-14003-2 – This CD has ben reissued many times, but if you have the original 1992 press, it’s worth something.

Value: $60

Psychosomatic – Clicking Sound Of A Hammer Pulled Back CD

Psychosomatic – Clicking Sound Of A Hammer Pulled Back CD

Psychosomatic – Clicking Sound Of A Hammer Pulled Back CD 2015 Buriedinhell – While this album is only a few years old, this new-school thrash classic sold out so quickly that the value has already skyrocketed.

Value: $50

Hallows Eve – History of Terror CD/DVD

Hallows Eve - History of Terror CD/DVD 2006 Metal Blade 3984-14565-2 [4 CD Set] 

Hallows Eve – History of Terror CD/DVD 2006 Metal Blade 3984-14565-2 [4 CD Set] – This 4 CD/DVD compilation from one of my favorite Where Are They Now? heavy metal band Hallows Eve. This Atlanta thrash metal group was one of the greatest bands that never made it.

Value: $50

Vio-Lence – Oppressing The Masses CD

Vio-Lence – Oppressing The Masses CD 1990 Atlantic – 7 82105-2 [ORIGINAL PRESS]

Vio-Lence – Oppressing The Masses CD 1990 Atlantic – 7 82105-2 [ORIGINAL PRESS] – Vio-Lence was one of the “lucky” bands in the late 80s to get signed to a major label. Due to management problems, Vio-lence got dropped from the Atlantic. Oppressing The Masses was never reissued, and it is unavailable on streaming. 

Value: $50

This collection has many other great titles, but I will leave it here for now.

Killer Collection of Rare Limited Edition Metal / Punk LPs I Bought From Arizona

Agnostic Front - Victim in Pain LP

In the video below is a collection I bought from a collector in Arizona through the mail. Most of the records are newer pressings and reissues, but many out-of-print/limited edition gems are in there, and some are already worth decent money.

The seller did a superb job of packing these records for shipping. It was so good that I used his method to make this tutorial on how to ship vinyl properly.

Album Highlights

In the section below, I have included info about some of the standout pieces in this collection.

Beastie Boys – Polly Wog Stew 7″

Beastie Boys – Polly Wog Stew 7" EP 1982 Rat Cage Records – MOTR 21 VG+/VG+

Beastie Boys – Polly Wog Stew 7″ EP 1982 Rat Cage Records – MOTR 21 VG+/VG+ – This EP was by far the most expensive piece in this collection. When you see copies of this album, they are primarily represses that came out in the early 90s after the Beastie Boys were already famous. This 7″ is the original 1982 pressing and is worth a ton. The condition is excellent and on the high end of VG+.

Value = $395

Cryptic Slaughter – Money Talks LP

Cryptic Slaughter - Money Talks LP 1987 Restless ‎– 72204-1 [Original Sealed!]

Cryptic Slaughter – Money Talks LP 1987 Restless ‎– 72204-1 [Original Sealed!] – The second album from the Califonia thrashers that played so fast they heavily influenced grindcore. This copy is sealed with hype stickers and is in nearly perfect condition. Someone must have liked it because it sold instantly.

Value = $99.95 [Sold]

Polkadot Cadaver – Purgatory Dance Party LP

Polkadot Cadaver - Purgatory Dance Party LP 2021 Razor To Wrist [White & Violet]

Polkadot Cadaver – Purgatory Dance Party LP 2021 Razor To Wrist [White & Violet] – Polkadot Cadaver formed from Serj Tankian’s Dog Fashion Disco remains. Everything by this band is sold out and is extremely hard to find. This sealed LP may be the only copy available for sale online.

Value = $149.95 

Belphegor – Bondage Goat Zombie LP 

Belphegor - Bondage Goat Zombie LP 2008 Nuclear Blast NB 2086-1 [Red] NM/NM *DE

Belphegor – Bondage Goat Zombie LP 2008 Nuclear Blast NB 2086-1 [Red] NM/NM *DE – Very rare 1st press on red vinyl, numbered and strictly limited to 1000 copies.
