Here are some photos from a great black metal, thrash metal, new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM) vinyl collection that I purchased from a seller in New York. These are the actual photos provided to me by the seller I used to appraise this collection. As you can see there are some very rare Mercyful Fate albums including Black Message and Live in Copenhagen ’82 that I used to appraise this collection. A manifest of all of the albums I purchased below the photo gallery. You can see some of my blog post for details about many of these rare and out of print items. I buy heavy metal collections of both vinyl and CDs professionally, if you are selling a collection or know someone who is, I pay top dollar for collections like this.
Manifest Of Albums Purchased From Seller In New York 11/20/2020
The sellers taxonomy is not perfect, technically, but Raven and Venom be NWOBHM but to myself the NWBHM as they stated in this manifest “are the flash in the pan bands like Trespass, Samson, Diamond Head, Angel Witch, etc., not so much the successful bands that morphed with the changing metal genre of the 1980s and beyond”.
The seller went on to say went on to say, “Black Metal as much as anyone but some of these bands I am not familiar with so attempting the spelling with Scandinavian letters and a super fancy font is not easy, therefore when you see a “?” by the band name it indicates spelling to the best that I can discern.”
Other abbreviations:
“CO” = cut-out
“RADIO” = a radio discharge
“Split” = two bands sharing the record one on each side
“PD” = picture disc
“DF” = a RADIO discharge but also with the cover functional but defaced
