Howdy folks!

I'm unleashing a ton of VINTAGE HEAVY METAL MAYHEM here on ebay over the next few weeks - so be sure to check my other listings and check back for new additions! :)

This listing is for an LP of TANKARD - CHEMICAL INVASION! Original 1987 LP that was produced by COMBAT/NOISE Records. I believe this is a US release of German thrash metal! # 88561-8200-1. 

I am not an expert regarding grading albums, but the vinyl looks pretty much perfect to me, with no obvious imperfections. The inner printed lyric sleeve is included, which is clean and flat but is splitting along the edges, due to the vinyl. Jacket looks beautiful with nice glossy colors... It does have a stamp on the back identifying it ass a promotional copy. Otherwise, there is some price sticker residue in a small area and I see  a few small creases on the backside, a little wear along the top edge of the front and a touch of wear at a corner or two... Other than the promo stamp, I'd probably still call it VG+. Please see pix to make your own assessment on the jacket condition.... If you are stickler on condition, PLEASE zoom and review the pix, I want you to be happy with your purchase! :) 

I am always happy to combine shipping, so check out my other albums! Additional albums typically cost very little to combine to the original shipping charge.. domestically, additional albums run around an additional 50 cents to add to an existing order... I will happily combine any LPs you purchase over a 3 day period into a single shipment and only charge the actual post office rate based on weight. Simply make your purchases, but do not pay until I send you an adjusted invoice.. Also, if you would prefer your purchase shipped at a rate other than media mail (cheapest option) let me know and I will send you an adjusted invoice for upgraded shipping. :)

International buyers, please be advised that if your country charges any import taxes, they will be solely your responsibility, and I will not misrepresent your purchase as a 'gift' to avoid these charges. Thank you for your understanding. I will happily combine multiple purchases to save on shipping internationally as well! I will send an adjusted invoice based on weight to your country. :)

THANKS for looking!

from wiki:

Tankard is a thrash metal band from Frankfurt am Main, Germany, founded in 1982. [1] Along with the bands Kreator, Destruction and Sodom, Tankard is often considered one of the "The Big Teutonic Four" of Teutonic thrash metal. They released their first record in 1986 and continue to write and record in the same vein: fast metal songs in honour of alcohol.

Tankard was formed in 1982 by three classmates, Andreas Geremia, Axel Katzmann and Frank Thorwarth; they came up with the name Tankard with the help of a dictionary. Their earliest written song was called "Ray Death", a song about nuclear war and their first gig was played in a local classroom in 1983. As drinking alcohol in the school was banned, they smuggled their beer in with milk cartons. Soon after, Bernhard Rapprich left the band as his conservative father did not want him "hanging around with a bunch of drunks" and he was replaced by Andy Bulgaropulos.[citation needed
