Description
Sodom – In The Sign Of Evil 12" Vinyl Mini-Album (1985 US Original 1st Pressing - Complete with Insert) Up for sale is an exceptional, authentic 1985 US first pressing of Sodom's legendary debut mini-album, "In The Sign Of Evil," released on Metal Blade Records. I am the original single owner of this record, having purchased it brand new in the mid-1980s. This is a complete, collector-grade archive copy featuring the original lyric/photo insert sheet, which is fully intact. Authenticity & Matrix Details:
Deadwax runout etchings are clearly visible and match the true 1985 Rainbo Records / Future Disc mastering profile:
- Matrix Side 1: 9639 MBR-1044-72049-1-A (with Future Disc stamp)
- Matrix Side 2: MBR-1044-72049-1-B (with Future Disc stamp)
- Vinyl Disc (VG+ to NM-): Beautiful, brilliant original factory luster. The playing surface is incredibly clean with no deep scratches or feelable marks. Center labels are pristine with sharp text and no spindle trail marks.
- Jacket Sleeve (VG): Clean structural integrity and vivid color graphics. Shows typical, honest vintage shelf/edge wear and minor spine creasing from age. No heavy seam splits, no writing, and no tape.
- Lyric Insert: Near Mint. Completely intact, crisp, and clean with no tears or staining.
- Storage Provenance: Vertically stored in a heavy protective sleeve within a smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled private collection since the 1980s.
I package records to the highest collector standards. The vinyl disc will be removed from the jacket sleeve and placed into a separate inner sleeve for transport to fully prevent seam splits or "knife-cutting" through the cardboard outer jacket. The album, insert, and jacket will be safely sandwiched between thick cardboard flats and shipped inside a rigid, heavy-duty corrugated LP box mailer. Please see the high-resolution photos displaying the exact vinyl surface, deadwax markings, and labels you will receive. Message me with any questions!
