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.

Video Walkthru

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.

Sodom – In The Sign Of Evil LP 1985 Devil's Game – DG-Nr. 001 Germany
Kreator ‎– Pleasure To Kill LP 1986 Noise ‎– N 0037 Germany
Death – Scream Bloody Gore LP Under One Flag ‎– FLAG 12 UK
THRASH METAL COLLECTION FROM EUROPE

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)

Slayer ‎– Reign In Blood LP 1986 Def Jam Recordings ‎– 924 131-1 – Europe EX/EX

Metallica ‎– …And Justice For All LP 1988 Vertigo ‎– 836 062-1 EX/EX Holland

Metallica ‎– Ride The Lightning LP 1984 Roadrunner ‎– RR 9848 EX/VG+ Europe

Killer New Golden Age Of Metal Vinyl Collection I Just Bought!

thrash metal vinyl collection

It’s really hard to find good heavy metal vinyl collections, this is a rare exception. I managed to pick this one up with someone in Pittsburgh who answered my ad seeking vinyl collections. I paid a pretty penny for this collection, but it’s well worth it as is all the vinyl is in near-mint condition and contains many HUGE TILES (most first press). Check out this video of the unboxing.

You could check out this page where I listed the contents of all these albums, they are from the golden age of metal circa 1984 to 1989. A lot of good thrash metal and some hard to find hair metal records.

Black Sabbath – Technical Ecstasy Last Album With Ozzy Osborne Vocals

Black Sabbath’s – Technical Ecstasy was the last studio album with Ozzy Osborne. It is not a fan favorite but does contain the track “Dirty Women” which was included in Black Sabbath live sets all the way till the end of their career.

The album received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success, peaking at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart and number 51 on the US Billboard 200 Album chart, later being certified Gold by the RIAA in 1997.

In 1992, Iommi admitted to Guitar World: “Black Sabbath fans generally don’t like much of Technical Ecstasy. It was really a no-win situation for us. If we had stayed the same, people would have said we were still doing the same old stuff. So we tried to get a little more technical, and it just didn’t work out very well.”

Sacrifice – Forward To Termination LP 1987

SACRIFICE FORWARD TO TERMINATION

“Forward To Termination” is a thrash metal classic that is easily on par or better than many of their peers from the Golden Age Of Metal. Despite playing the right kind of music at precisely the right time and quite well, mainstream success was in the cards for Sacrifice.

Tracklist 

Forward To Termination
Terror Strikes
Re-Animation
Afterlife
Flames Of Armageddon
The Entity
Forever Enslaved
Cyanide
Light Of The End
Pyrokinesis
