Bathory - "Bathory" & "The Return" LPs on Banzai - Venom Slayer 

$

465

Two of the (un)holiest of grails are to be found here. Banzai's Bathory releases for the first two albums, which are impossibly rare, coming in right behind the coveted "Yellow goat" in terms of scarcity. The rumors are that these were issued in editions of 500 copies each, though that was never really confirmed. I can tell you they are very few and far between.
Condition: The first album has been "loved" a bit, but not abused, as you can tell from the photos. The only "bad" blemish on the cover is the nick out of the top corner (which was like that when I bought it). Aside from that, typical age-appropriate issues are here and there, but no tears or rips anywhere. It also looks as if there was some"light" touch up of black on some of the light areas, but you'd have to really strain hard to see any of it. The vinyl itself  has a few small scuffs and such, but nothing terrible and no gouges or scratches. It's 33-years old, so some wear is to be expected, but this is surprisingly nice for its age and obvious use. The pops and such are evident as with any old album, but nothing that ruins the enjoyment of it. I don't think any Bathory fan would be disappointed in this gem. "The Return" is a lot cleaner and has the same bit of scuffing and such on the vinyl, yet the sleeve fared a bit better over the years. See the pics for more details, of course. These are still wonderful additions to any metal collection. 
I hate to part with these, but time has left me with the opportunity to pass these along to another fan who will love and enjoy these records as I have. Believe me, I don't have to tell you how infrequently these pop up!
