Description
Artist: Motorhead
Album: Ace of Spades
Year/Label: Mercury Records/1980
Condition:
Cover- 1" bend at top and bottom left corners of the white generic sleeve as well as some tape marks.
Cover sheet- VG (is taped to cover but shows very little signs of wear and little to no fading)
Disc- NM (near mint- gorgeous!)
Notes: Super rare US test pressing of this absolute heavy metal classic! Keel Manufacturing test pressing for the US release on Mercury label SRM-1-4011. My research on popsike and other sites showed no historical sales on eBay making this possibly the FIRST TIME EVER that this has been available. Certainly it would be hard to find one as the disc is in NM gorgeous shape!
To give some background, from Wikipedia: “The album has been described as "one of the best metal albums by any band, ever" and has become a significantly influential 'hard rock classic'. Despite the band always referring to their music as rock 'n roll, the album, and particularly its title track have been considered amongst the most influential in the development of thrash metal. The title track is, for many, the definitive Motörhead anthem.The album is listed in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.”
What more would you want in a piece of vinyl- killer music, historical significance and extreme rarity! This album has been the crowned jewel in my collection for almost a decade and now it can be yours! Good luck and feel free to hit me up with any and all questions before bidding.
Bid with confidence: Will ship with insurance and be packed well enough to survive anything!
