September First Press Punk Rock / Metal Vinyl Update

VINYL UPDATE 9 2022 SHOW NO MERCY

With the recent downturn of the US economy, I’ve had many people coming into the store to sell their punk rock and heavy metal collections. These hard times are both good news and bad news. The good part is I pay a lot for punk and metal collections; the bad news is people wouldn’t be selling them if life was better.

Here is a fantastic first press metal collection a guy brought in two weeks ago.

And here is a great punk rock vinyl collection I picked up this weekend.

Featured Punk / Metal Vinyl

Here are some of the gold nuggets from the videos above.

Black Flag – Nervous Breakdown EP 1980 SST SST 001 – This is the third pressing of “Nervous Breakdown” by Black Flag. There are over 20 years of pressings of this EP. Actual first pressing is some of the most expensive punk rock albums out there that can go for over $1000 easily.

Ramones – Ramones LP 1976 Sire – SASD-7520 – First pressings of this debut Ramones LP average between $143 – $432, according to Discogs, and keep going up.

Possessed – Seven Churches LP 1985 Combat – MX 8024 – One of the most influential extreme metal albums of all time and some argue the first death metal album, early pressing of Possessed “Seven Churches” are a holy grail of vinyl collectors. The camouflage label is technically a second press, even though it came out the same year. Unlike many vintage metal albums, the first press CD is worth more than the album and is one of the most expensive metal CDs.

Slayer ‎– Show No Mercy LP 1983 Metal Blade Records ‎– MBR 1013Slayer’s debut album is now the most expensive and hard to find in their catalog. This copy is the repress technically, but it still sells for north of 300 dollars.

Killer New First Press UK Thrash Metal Collection I Just Bought

BOLT-THROWER-Realm-of-Chaos-MOSH13

In the video and listed below on this post is a thrash metal vinyl collection I just bought from a guy in the United Kingdom. All of these are LPs first pressing from the 1980s and 1990s. Since the start of COVID-19, I have more frequently been buying collections without ever meeting the actual owner, at times never even talking to them. Instead, the deals are all worked out over email. So far, so good. All of the transactions have gone off without a hitch.

Here is a video of all of the awesome LPs I picked up on this awesome deal.

Photos

Here are some photos of some of my favorite LPs from this haul. One of my favorites is the cult classic “History Of A Time To Come” by Sabbat. The 2 Bolt Thrower “Warmaster” and “Realms Of Chaos” are both excellent and very hard to find as well. The rarest and expensive album is the first press Sadus “Illusions” album that is self-released. I’m sure how many copies of that were pressed, but it wasn’t very many. It was later reissued as “Chemical Exposure” by Roadracer Records (also included in this collection). Also great was the Metallica “Ride The Lightning” 1987 reissue limited edition DMM master – super rare…I’ve never even had one of these before.

GOVERNOR OF DEATH – Red Red Rage (Slayer Cover / Andrew Cuomo Parody)

GOVERNOR OF DEATH - Red Red Rage (Slayer Cover : Andrew Cuomo Parody)

After not having released anything sense like 2014, I found a subject so timely, I decided to come out of musical retirement. Andrew Cuomo and his grandma killing was my inspiration. The hardest part about recording this was finding a way to scream it in my apartment, so it’s not 100% perfect but You get the point. Slayer!

Lyrics

Governor of Death

Brooklyn, the meaning of pain
Cuomo wants you to die
COVID death, immense decay
Rest homes rob you of your life

Forced in like cattle, you run
Stripped of your life’s worth
Human mice, for the Governer of Death.
Fifteen thousand more to die

Governor of Death
March to the Rest Home of the dead

Incompetent, Libtard of demise
Dumbass of CNN blood
Diminishing the real number
To benefit his re-election race
Readmitted with no mask
Feel the COVID infect you intensely
Daily briefing, just a massive of lie
But CNN still loves this guy

Governor of Death
March to the Rest Homes of the dead
Infamous Dumbass
Governer of Death

Slayer Shit-Canned As NASCAR Team Sponsor

Slayer their walking papers regarding Slayer sponsored NASCAR team car. J.J. Yeley’s No. 54 car was scheduled to race earlier this month painted to promote the Slayer Farewell Tour, but that never happened.

I guess Slayer wasn’t Redneck enough, because the team pulled the plug on the Slayer sponsorship in favor of PODS.

The team was not clear about the decision to forgo the Slayer sponsorship and only released this tweet.

I’m sure; the decision had much to do with protecting the right-wing Cristian bureaucracy of the sport. Slayer has been saying since the mid-eighties that they were not Satanists. Tom Araya even identifies himself as a Christian, but no, Slayer is still too terrifying for NASCAR fans.

Ironically, NASCAR has no problem with sponsoring a Kid Rock car, even though his lyrics gloried pimping, cocaine, homophobia and smacking women, but a little fo-fu Satanism is a bit too much!!

Jeff Hanneman “Still Reigning” Picture Frame Test Run Is Now Available!

Jeff Hanneman "Still Reigning" Picture Frame Test Run Is Now Available!

After getting bombarded with requests about the Jeff Hanneman “Still Reigning” Picture Frame I posted on Instagram, I decided to make a test pressing to see if I could replicate it. The test looked amazing and even better than I expected. I am making a limited quantity available for now. I hand make each one. This is not some cheap Ali Babba crap.

See The “Unboxing” On YouTube

Also, if you watch the video to the end — take note of the “secret compartment” 🙂 I’m not sure I’m going to keep putting these in after the first run (or if there will be another run LOL).

More Info:

About the Jeff Hanneman “Still Reigning” Picture is a 5 inch by 7-inch picture frame made with a copy of the actual program from the Jeff Hanneman memorial service at the Palladium in Los Angeles June 21st, 2013. 

This is not official Slayer merchandise ., it is simply a tribute to the greatest thrash metal guitarist/songwriter of all time Mr. Jeffrey John Hanneman 1/31/1964 – 5/2/2013. Ships USPS economy with tracking in a padded 8.5 x 6 mailer with an extra layer of bubble wrap to prevent breakage. Feel free to contact me on eBay if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Like metal?
See the rest of the awesome metal!

Lastly, they are cheap. The cost barely covers putting them together. The shipping cost covers the boxing and bubble wrap required to get them to you in one piece. 🙂

Without sounding like some cheesy marketer, I have a feeling these will go fast, so here is the link – https://thrashmetaliq.com/jeff

Four Hour Fogger Demo Tape Feat. Brent Hinds & Troy Sanders from Mastodon – This was the local band that Troy Sanders and Brent Hinds were in before Mastodon. If you are a Mastodon fan this is a great pick up. This is very rare and handwritten by Troy Sanders.

Win An OG Copy of Slayer – Reign in Blood LP 1986 Original Def Jam First Pressing

slayer reign in blood cover

Win An Original Def Jam Copy Of Reign In Blood For 99 Cents!!

This is something I am going to be doing every Thursday night. It is officially dubbed “The Thursday Night Chopping Block.” I am going to be offering up a piece of metal history at auction. A record like this you could easily be a “BUY IT NOW” for 85$ and sell in a day. When I say, “I’m putting it on the chopping block” – by putting it up for auction, the auctions don’t always go as you expect and sometimes backfires.

overkill vintage cheap

This Week On The Copping Block It’s Slayer!

This week we have the Holy Grail of Thrash Metal Vinyl – Slayer’s Reign In Blood. Not just any copy of Reign In Blood this is an original Def Jam from 1987. It was my personal copy, so it has been played, but it has also been taken special care of because it’s only my favorite album of all time.

This is a rare chance to hear this thrash masterpiece the way Rick Ruben and Slayer wanted you to listen to it – the OG mix, no lame reissue and remaster — pure thrash in it’s the rawest form!

Remember in the event of a tie, he (or she) who bid first takes all, so don’t watch for too long – this one will go fast!

Lastly, some crass commercialism…

Be sure to follow this link to my store to sign up for my mailing list to stay in the loop about exclusive coupons, private auctions, special discount and offer for subscribers ONLY as well as a schedule of what will be on the chopping block every THURSDAY night at 10 PM PST!
