VINYL TITLE — ARTIST (YEAR) • CATALOG Artist: Metallica Album: Kill 'Em All Format: Audio CD (Jewel Case) Label: Elektra / Megaforce Worldwide Catalog Number: 9 60766-2 Release Country: US Year of Pressing: Circa mid-to-late 1990s (Reissue) Genre: Thrash Metal 💿 DESCRIPTION This is a brand-new, factory-sealed copy of the album that defined the thrash metal genre. Originally released on July 25, 1983, via the independent label Megaforce Records, Kill 'Em All was the world's introduction to the "Big Four" leaders. Historical Context: After the band signed to Elektra in 1984, the album was re-released to a wider audience. This particular version is a later reissue from the 1990s. While the 1988 Elektra reissue famously added two bonus tracks ("Am I Evil?" and "Blitzkrieg"), later pressings like this one returned to the original 10-track configuration to mirror the 1983 debut. It features the iconic cover art—a hammer and a pool of blood—which replaced the band's original, more controversial concept. 💎 CONDITION disc: Presumed MINT (unplayed) case: Factory-sealed, never opened 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS The Title: The album was originally titled Metal Up Your Ass , featuring a toilet-themed cover. After distributors refused to carry it, bassist Cliff Burton famously said, "Just kill 'em all," referring to the record distributors. The name stuck. Songwriting: This album features songwriting credits for Dave Mustaine (who was fired just before recording) on four tracks: "The Four Horsemen" (originally "The Mechanix"), "Jump in the Fire," "Phantom Lord," and "Metal Militia." First Edition vs. This Reissue: The 1983 Megaforce original is extremely rare and lacks a barcode. The 1988 Elektra reissue (catalog 60766-2) is sought after for including bonus tracks. This version (9 60766-2) is preferred by purists who want the original 1983 tracklist sequence but with the improved 1990s mastering. Holographic Tab: The presence of the WMG holographic seal on the spine/top is a key "period-correct" feature for collectors of 90s sealed media. 🔍 MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Barcode: 0 7559-60766-2 3 Spine Catalog: 9 60766-2 Back Cover: Includes the "Elektra Entertainment" and "Megaforce Worldwide" logos. Note: As this item is factory sealed, the disc matrix (runout) code remains unverified but is consistent with Specialty Records Corporation (SRC) or WEA Manufacturing pressings of the mid-90s. 📦 SHIPPING 📮 STANDARD: 5–30 DAYS — FREE SHIPPING ✈️ INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY: 5–15 DAYS — 30$ 🚚 FEDEX EXPRESS: 3–7 DAYS — 65$ WORLD OF AUDIOPHILE (EBAY SELLER) 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK • FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM: @WORLD_OF_AUDIOPHILE ⭐ LATEST BUYER FEEDBACK 0 ]/ “ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VINYL!
