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 contained 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.
There are some titles add from the Golden Age of Extreme Metal 1981-1992 This list is not my list and was originally posted here, but the formatting is so poor and the years on the records were incorrectly labeled 1981-1985. This is why I reposted it here.

Earier this week Dave Mustaine said “doctors are feeling very positive regarding my progress” on Twitter and also on Megadeth.com. As of now, plus for the Megacruise are still on schedule.
I wanted to take a moment to give you all an update on the current status of my health. I’m almost through the last round of treatment and my doctors are feeling very positive regarding my progress. I want to thank all of you for the support and well wishes these last few months. I can’t express enough gratitude as it has made this hard road easier knowing you are in my corner fighting with me! Over the next few weeks my condition will be evaluated, and I will keep you posted on my progress as we get closer to the sailing date of the first Megacruise! We can’t wait to see you, and I know all of the other wonderful artists feel the same way. Let’s make this event one for the record books. Less than 30 days till we are Thrashing through the Pacific! See you all very soon. Dave

Since it’s pretty clear many of us (including me) are living in the past (rightfully so)…what is your favorite year for Thrash Metal? You can choose from 1983-1991. Personally, I’m going to have to choose 1986 with classic such as Pleasure To Kill, Darkness Descends and Reign In Blood pulling much of the weight, but what is your pick?

A have been working very had to stay stocked with great metalal, punk, thrash metal, NWOBHM, even some hair metal and the harder edges of classic rock.
Here are some of my picks for the best of the best:
KING DIAMOND CONSPIRACY– This is a great almost thrash album by the King. This is the first pressing and isn’t easy to come by!
POSSESSED REVELATIONS OF DOOM– The new and absolutely killer album from Possessed. This is a limited 500 pressing blood vinyl. I bought 10 of them – about half have sold already!
The Ultra-Violence is the first LP by the Bay Area thrash band Death Angel. It was released in 1987. In 1982 the band consisted of 5 members that were al Filipino (and many were cousins). Death Angel was first active from 1982 to 1992. A bus accident started the first period of downtime. The band reformed in 2001 and tours to this day, through guitarist Rob Cavestany member has been the only static member.
