One of my all time favorite bands here folks. Witnessed them live a million times. Been with them since the beginning (even wearing an Overkill shirt in my old High School yearbook picture, lol) and this is my favorite album from them. Every song here is not only heavier than a really heavy thing, they are also totally memorable and great to sing along to. Bobby Blitz, in my opinion, is one of the greatest front men that ever held a mic. This was the last time the classic line-up would be present. Rat Skates would depart soon after this album and Bobby Gustafson would be gone 3 years later. Get your GREEN on and lets DENY THE CROSS!

Would make a great back up version for your collection or a nice one to have until you find that almost impossible NM version.

Fans of Death, Kreator, Destruction, Celtic Frost, Living Death, Deathstrike, Master, Entombed, Nihilist, Blood Feast, Wehrmacht, Cryptic Slaughter, Cannibal Corpse, Deceased, Razor, Evil Dead, Ripping Corpse, Morbid Angel, Deicide, etc. MUST own this.


Jacket - EX    Jacket is AMAZING! Looks like it was opened yesterday! The only things that keep it from NM is cutout in upper left corner and promo stamp on back. Seams are tight with no splits. Opening side is crisp.


Inner Sleeve/lyric sheet - VG+    Original with photos and lyrics. Seams are clear taped on sides. Bright and beautiful. Cutout did NOT catch insert.


Record -  NM    Side 1 - Great luster. Scratches that appear worse than they are. A few pops and a little static mostly noticeable in the very quiet sections. Label is bright in color.
                          Side 2 - Great luster. Less offensive looking scratches than side one. More prominent pops and a little static mostly noticeable in the very quiet sections. One slight skip during Electroviolence, but not a deal breaker. Label is bright in color.
                                        Center hole features no distortion.

If you have any doubts about this or any of my records, send me a message. We'll get on the phone and I'll play the darn thing for ya! I LOVE listening to records! LOL!

Remember, you will NEVER read the word MINT described in my listings. Mint records simply do not exist.
THIS AND ALL MY RECORDS (if not sealed) ARE CLEANED, PLAYED AND CLEANED AGAIN BEFORE SHIPPING, AND MAY HAVE GRUVGLIDE RESIDUE. IF THERE IS A SKIP, I WILL TELL SO IN THE ITEM DESCRIPTION.

I ship LPs only in the USA and to Canada. Please ignore eBays silly unchangeable "international shipping" rates posted.
$4.00 USA shipping
$7.90 to Canada
Combined shipping rates are $1.00 for each record after one.
I package BULLETPROOF.

About me: I am a collector but also believe in spreading the love. If I find a record I already have, I will sell the less rare or lesser conditioned version. I am a walking music encyclopedia of metal, punk, hardcore, skaterock, post-punk, goth, shoegaze, new wave, etc. I've been collecting records since the late 70's. I stepped away from eBay for awhile but am making my limited return. I hope you find the joy in these records that I have over the years, because I truly feel that there is nothing better than a fine slab of vinyl. That said, please don't jerk me around. I am an honest seller so if you have a question or need a specific photo, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I have a day job and get to the post office when I can. Please be respectful of that. Bid with confidence as my feedback rating proves that you should.

I will be listing other items when time permits, so please add me to your followed seller list. I will certainly combine shipping if the items are listed within a reasonable time of each other (no more than 7 days apart.)

Please remember that I put a lot of time and effort into my listings and packaging. Please take into consideration that eBay and Paypal take fees from each purchase. Packaging items cost money. It takes gas to drive to the post office, etc. In other words, don't try to rip me off or I'll exit eBay again and become a pretentious record hoarder, lol.

SELLERS!!! PLEASE STOP STEALING MY DESCRIPTIONS! I'M REALLY SORRY YOU'RE EITHER TOO LAZY OR TOO MUCH A POSEUR TO KNOW THE FACTS ABOUT THE RECORDS YOU'RE SELLING. I TAKE THE TIME TO TYPE THIS STUFF UP BECAUSE I LOVE THE MUSIC, I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING, AND I COULD TALK ABOUT HEAVY METAL TILL YOUR EARS FELL OFF. DON'T BE A DOUCHE AND STEAL MY STUFF. CHEERS!
