Description
I am listing several Metallica albums for sale, please check my other listings if interested in more great buys. A little about myself before we get into the album itself. I am a collector/Seller/Trader of records. I religiously practice several things to ensure my records are in the best possible condition including: Thorough cleaning before and after playing of the vinyl itself, thorough cleaning of the stylus before each play of an album, after playing, another thorough cleaning before housing all vinyl's in a static free plastic vinyl sleeve. I also house my album covers in 3mm poly sleeves. When it comes to selling, packaging and shipping my albums to you i ensure that i always protect the corners and edges with bubble wrap, protect the back side and front side with extra cardboard padding when it will fit without making the package not close fully. I only ship up to 2 albums max in one record mailer, any order of 3 or more albums will be shipped in a 14x14x4 box instead. All albums that i sell for over $100 are mailed Priority Mail instead of media. All albums i sell over $300 are mailed Priority Mail with Signature required and insurance to cover the value of the vinyl. All International orders are shipped exclusively through Ebay Global Shipping Program, yes i know that their costs for international buyers is priced a bit on the high side, however this is the only way that not only you are protected, by me as the seller as well. I will not use USPS for international shipping as there is no seller protection as once it leaves the US it is untrackable and they do not provide international tracking like Ebay does.
Now for the good stuff: This album for sale is a very rare 1997 Elektra Records 1st Pressing release for the Iconic metal band Metallica, entitled Reload. Original gatefold cover, printed inner record sleeves included. This is a new sealed copy with hype sticker. The cover is rated VG only because there is a large crease in the upper left hand corner which as you can see in the pictures also causes a wave in the gatefold. Other than this, what can i say other than it is brand new never opened, a very rare thing for an album from such an iconic band that is nearly 25 years old.
