Description

Debut studio album by NWOBHM band Praying Mantis, released in 1981 in the UK on Arista (SPART1153). This LP was bought by myself on release in 1981 and comes complete with its original inner sleeve. Cover is signed by founder members Tino and Chris Troy, and cover artist, the renowned sci-fi/fantasy illustrator Rodney Matthews. Signatures obtained in person by myself at the Electric Rock exhibition of Rodney's work on 19 January 2019, where mantis played an acoustic set. Sleeve, inner and vinyl are near mint.

All the records in my collection were bought new by myself between 1976 and mid-late 1980s. The majority of the vinyl has been stored in plastic-lined paper sleeves, with a plastic outer protecting the album sleeve. All are from a smoke-free home. A plastic outer sleeve will be provided free with most albums, and albums will be posted in card mailing envelopes with additional card stiffener.


I'm in the process of listing my vinyl collection, mostly 70s and 80s rock with some new wave and punk, including limited editions, coloured vinyls and autographed - watch out for upcoming listings.


Discounted shipping offered on multiple purchases, if buying more than one LP please wait for an invoice before paying. Tracked postage is available as an option.


I regret that due to items being delayed by customs and going missing I will not ship internationally at present.
