Description

VINYL TITLE โ€” ARTIST (YEAR) โ€ข CATALOG Artist: AC/DC Album: Back in Black Release Date: 1980 Label: Atlantic (SD 16018) Country: USA Format: Vinyl, LP, Album Edition: First US Pressing . This is the authentic 1980 original release featuring the iconic embossed (raised) lettering for both the "AC/DC" logo and the "Back in Black" title on the front cover. ๐Ÿ’ฟ DESCRIPTION History: Released as a tribute to the band's late frontman Bon Scott, this was the first album featuring Brian Johnson. It became a cultural phenomenon and remains one of the best-selling albums in music history. The minimalist black cover was chosen by the band as a sign of mourning. Key Features: Unlike later flat-printed reissues, this original pressing has a textured, embossed sleeve. This specific copy features a rare vintage "Crazy Eddie Record & Tape Asylum" store sticker on the front, adding unique provenance from the legendary NYC retailer. ๐Ÿ’Ž CONDITION vinyl: Presumed MINT (unplayed) cover: Factory-sealed, never opened ๐Ÿงพ NOTES FOR COLLECTORS First Pressing Identification: This version is identified by the SD 16018 catalog number and the raised texture of the sleeve. Value: Original 1980 copies in this condition are increasingly sought after by collectors, especially those with unique period-correct store stickers like "Crazy Eddie," which confirm the record's history and era. Differences: Later reissues often dropped the embossing to save on production costs or moved to different catalog sequences (like the E1 series). ๐Ÿ” MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Side A: ST-A-804517 [Check your runout groove for suffixes like -SP or -MO] Side B: ST-A-804518 Label: Atlantic (SD 16018).

  1. Absolute flawless international shipping, was fun to see all the stops the package made during delivery, van halen box set was packed professionally and shipped priority without any import tax at all. Item was exactly as described and the only one available anywhere, item was unopened sealed and considered extremely rare from 1984. This was the best experience I've ever had on ebay, all questions were answered directly and promptly. Definitely saving this seller for future purchases. Thank you

  2. The records were as described, honest seller. I wish I had information from seller that the tracking wasnโ€™t to my address, that it was going to a different address, and then being forwarded. Following the tracking had me concerned. So I recommend buyers communicate with the seller to understand that the tracking may not (at least in my case) indicate that it might go to a different address. Once it was forwarded I did receive tracking to my home. Still, great records, safe packaging.
