Description

For your consideration, a very rare Test Pressing of Kill Em All (MRI 069) by Metallica, circa 1983.


The record has been very well cared for and thus in excellent condition, especially considering its age.  This record was produced in 1983 by Hauppuage for Megaforce Records.  Mastered at Sterling Sound, the record has yellow labels and comes in a plain white sleeve.  KEA is hand written in ink on one side.

Reportedly there are only 3-4 copies known to exist.  However, I suspect that there may have been more produced, but still less than 10.  One sold in 2007 for $5200, with another selling in 2009 for $6600.


This is basically the Holly Grail of Metallica records. 


Feel free to contact with any questions.
