    Terrific 3D-sound, catchy upper middle tonality, fat low end, smashing dynamic range.
    Lamborghini-class of vinyl record.
    Difference between this one and European DMM OG release is evident from the first second, EEC version pales in comparison.

        Probably pretty obvious but yeah this sounds amazing, world of difference compared to the later represses

          This album is incredible! I bought this in the early 90’s and barely played it due to CDs being the new rage…now that I’m alll grown up and a vinyl addict, I’m blown away at all the harmonics, detail, punch and fun I’ve been missing all these years. I’m lucky to have a NM copy, and this thing sounds f ing great. Dead silent and was mastered on the loud side. Killer!!!

            I have 2 copies of this publication that do not match:

            Copy 1) An "EAST" embossed around the "B" side center hole like this would indicate it was pressed at Specialty Records Corporation using metal parts that were originally made for use at Allied Record Company based on the etchings .. (come you read here: https://discogs.versitio.com/it/label/211933-Allied-Record- Company)
            -Matrix / Runout "A" Side: ST-1-12526-Z2 [Artisan Logo Stamp] ɑ B-24864-Z2 Δ13786- X SP 1-1 SM1-2 AL-SP
            (- X is scratched out, the first digit of 1-1 is manually corrected to 0)
            -Matrix / Runout "B" Side: ST-2-12526-Z2 [Artisan logo stamp] ɑ B-24865-Z2 Δ 13786-X SP 1-1 01 AL-SP (1- is scratched out)

            Copy 2) It seems to correspond to the one described by https://discogs.versitio.com/it//Pentastone.
            There is discrepancy only in the spacing and perhaps in the reading of the last digit which looks like a Z but should be a 2.
            (nothing in relief around the central hole)
            -Matrix / Runout "A" Side: ST-1-12526-Z2 [Artisan logo stamp] ɑ B-24864-Z2 Δ13786- X 1-2 (- X is scratched out and does not include SP and SM1-2 AL- SP)
            -Matrix / Runout "B" Side: ST-2-12526-Z2 [Artisan logo stamp] ɑ B-24865-Z2 Δ 13786-X 1-2 (and does not include SP 01 AL-SP).

            Regarding publication, a single "A" stamped in the label area could confirm that it was printed at the Allied Record Company.

            I think it is appropriate to clarify, perhaps using this information of mine derived from a careful comparison.

              Mine may be an official release, the matrix/runout doesn't fit anywhere, but it looks pretty like a genuine one.

                I have a copy with the following:

                Matrix / Runout (Etched, Side 1): ST-1-12526-Z2 [Artisan logo stamp] ɑ B-24864-Z2 Δ13786 - X 1-Z (The X is scratched out and does not include SM1-2 AL-SP)
                Matrix / Runout (Etched, Side 2): ST-2-12526-Z2 [Artisan logo stamp] ɑ B-24865-Z2 Δ13786 - X 1-Z (Does not include SP0-1 AL-SP)

                  One of THE BEST things in the story of metal that Dave got kicked out of Metallica......cos he gave us Megadeth!
