Description

Original 1991 Europe First Press. The record has been graded as Very Good (VG) condition and the cover has been graded as Very Good Plus (VG+) condition.

Cover is showing some edge wear and some minor creases.  Cover is still nice and glossy black.

Printed inner sleeves with lyrics are still in really good condition and showing some creases and light ring wear.

Vinyl shows surface marks and light hairlines under bright light.  Both records now live in new rice paper sleeves with the original printed inner sleeves supplied.

During playback both the records have some background noise during some of the quieter passages, examples, start of The Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters tracks and during tracks through out the album  Still sounds unreal, a great listening experience and has been graded accordingly.  The record was quite dirty when it arrived and we have given it a machine clean but could do with another clean by the new owner.

Metallica – Metallica (Black Album) (1991)

The game-changing Black Album. Released in 1991, Metallica’s self-titled fifth studio album marked a thunderous new chapter for the band—and for heavy metal itself. With producer Bob Rock at the helm, Metallica refined their thrash roots into a more polished, punishing sound that was built for stadiums and the radio alike.

Housed in the stark, all-black sleeve with the barely visible coiled snake logo, this album isn't just music—it's history. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a new collector digging into Metallica’s catalog, this is a must-have cornerstone of any vinyl collection.
