Offered for sale is a still sealed limited edition half speed mastered U.S. pressing of Master of Puppets by Metallica.
About this copy: This copy of Master of Puppets is a 2008 U.S. pressing on the Warner Brothers label of an album that was originally released in 1986.
As the album is still sealed, the record is presumably new and unplayed.
The wrap is fully intact with no rips, tears, or holes. There is a hype sticker on the wrap that says “Half Speed Mastered at Mobile Fidelity from the original analog master tapes.” There is an original price sticker attached to the wrap (not shown in photos.)
A nice copy of a scarce Metallica LP.
Background: Released in 1986, Master of Puppets was the third album by Metallica, and the last to feature original bassist Cliff Burton.
The album reached #29 on the U.S. charts, but has since sold more than six million copies in the U.S. alone.
Allmusic.com gave Master of Puppets a 5 star review:
Even though Master of Puppets didn’t take as gigantic a leap forward as Ride the Lightning, it was the band’s greatest achievement, hailed as a masterpiece by critics far outside heavy metal’s core audience. It was also a substantial hit, reaching the Top 30 and selling three million copies despite absolutely nonexistent airplay. Instead of a radical reinvention, Master of Puppets is a refinement of past innovations….. Some critics have called Master of Puppets the best heavy metal album ever recorded; if it isn’t, it certainly comes close.
