Description

The Definitive 1986 US First Pressing This is the legendary 1986 US first pressing of Slayer’s "Reign In Blood" (GHS 24131), the album that fundamentally redefined the speed and aggression of the thrash metal genre. Released on Def Jam Recordings and distributed by Geffen, this copy was manufactured at the Specialty Records Corporation (SRC) plant, as evidenced by the distinctive SRC logo in the runout. Produced by Rick Rubin, the 29-minute masterpiece was mastered at the renowned Masterdisk studio using a "Special Cut" process to maintain maximum dynamic impact. For serious collectors, this 1986 original is the essential analog version of the album, offering a sonic grit and punch that digital reissues often fail to replicate.

Historical Significance & Matrix Verification "Reign In Blood" remains a cornerstone of extreme music, famously opening with the harrowing "Angel of Death" and concluding with the atmospheric "Raining Blood." This copy includes the original printed lyric inner sleeve, featuring high-contrast band photography. The presence of the authentic Masterdisk stamp and the specific matrix codes (GHS-2 4131-A-SR3 / GHS-2 4131-B-SR2) confirms its status as a genuine first-run production. Despite the honest shelf wear on the spine, the sheer quality of the vinyl makes this an ideal "play copy" for an audiophile collector.
