I remember paying over $300USD for the ripper - and the dead shall rise on yellow wax ( that I still own) After winning it I got kind of worry about spending that kind of money in just one record, I thought I had a problem, then never pay that much for a single record. at least the last time I saw it on ebay sold for over $400 USD, and not less, that would be very disappointing. :roll:

I bought the Ripper picture disc from Dave Richards in 1988 for about $8-$10 I think. I got it back then because I had heard their track on a Metal Massacre comp. I still don't have the regular black vinyl, he didn't list it in his catalog at that time, he had all these funky shaped discs though...

ANY price is too much for this one ! Horrible record !
OK, seems that it's limited to 500 so you could call it collectible.
And i can always put it on my turntable for having a good laugh with some friends !

Absolutely correct, unless you like cheesy Melodic Metal with annoying vocals. Otherwise avoid!
Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst

mine is one title released at the early 90s.

The cd version had a booklet in golden colour which is extremely easy to leave fingerprints on etc.

So far i own 4 copies of it and i will keep buying it untill i find a flawless copy :-)
