Description

Factory sealed original 1984 U.S. pressing of Metallica – Ride the Lightning on Megaforce Records (Catalog MRI 769).
A true collector's copy, this album remains factory sealed, preserving one of the most sought-after early U.S. Metallica pressings. Original sealed Megaforce copies have become increasingly difficult to find.

 Artist: Metallica  Title: Ride the Lightning  Label: Megaforce Records  Catalog Number: MRI 769  Country: United States  Year: 1984  Format: 12" Vinyl LP  Condition: Factory Sealed / Unopened
Condition Notes:

  •  Original factory shrink wrap is intact.
