Quiet, in a bad way. Even playing with the eq can't get this pressing to play as it should. Keeping it for historical value as a first pressing . -
Fun fact: my copy was saved from a dumpster. A friend of my dad was dumpster diving in Nashville back in the 90’s and found some LPs thrown out behind a record shop (all of them had “not for sale” promo stickers on them). -
Edited 20 years agoMain sample for song She Watch Channel Zero?! is a sample of the Slayer's song Angel of Death, from the album Reign in Blood
-
This was repressed in 2000 and was in limited quantity. All these releases have stickers on them with the number of the pressing on it.
