Well, I really hate to lose this but I still have her twin sister. I'm actually going  to liquidate some dubs and trips in order to fund the furthering of my core collection of Metvinyl so you may wish to check back from time to time. I ordered two of these in 1999 and have only seen a few since. This is the first time I have ever pulled the record out of it's sleeve and it has never been played. There is a very slight surface scuff mark that is approximately an inch long directly below her right thigh in the circle that would contain the paper label if it had one. I'm sure it is a production imperfection. I'm sorry about the bad photos but my 1967 cell phone camera doesn't work too well up close. This is their self-titled release AKA "the Black Album" The the main picture is on one side and the second picture is on the other. The third picture reads 1991/1998.... Printed in Tokio (spelling?) Japan ... Limited Edition 500 Copies Promotional Use Only. The fourth picture reads: "This promotional album is dedicated to our friend Sorayama for the wonderful airbrush image he did for us Thank You ! Metallica" Serious bidders only please. I will ship this record anywhere US shipping will be $4 economy/media (other options available)... Canada $8...rest of the world $15 ...thanks for looking (although I know you couldn't help yourself lol) ....again, keep your eyes peeled, I have nearly 400 Metvinyl pieces and the current $$$ situation  here in the States (as well as around the world), is forcing me to either quit collecting or turn multiples that I've aquired into new treasures. OK in all fairness to anyone cool enough to have made it this far, let me just say this, PLEASE do your homework on this piece. I ordered them on Ebay but, I have always questioned a few things about them  and I'll share three bits. First, I've never heard of TOKIO, Japan...LOL.....and that's what it says on the record.(perhaps a simple error) Second, I ordered this from Italy and it's the only Italian Vertigo release I own. Finally, again, I ask serious bidders to research this a bit before bidding. Regardless of the question marks in my head on this one, it still ranks in my top five all time favorite vinyl pieces. I am about as serious of a Metvinyl collector as one can be and I have mad respect for other collectors. If buyer has any issues whatsoever, I will be happy to provide a full refund upon receipt of return of item. I also just listed one of the Pushead etched glasses "The Spider" (#266/479) so you might want to take a look at my other auctions. Good luck and Rock ON!

(and YES,before anyone has to ask, those little yellow pieces of paper are not part of the record...I am censoring it)
