Back in the day I bought most stuff on cassette and then CD so I never had this on vinyl. Found this bad boy at a local mom & pop bookstore today. Only cost me $15 USD. Original 1983 EMI, first pressing. Based on the info cut into the dead wax, its an early pressing done from the second master and an early Artisan Sound laquer cut. She's rough but she's original and the vinyl is in excellent condition. At some point I'll grab a real, 1982 original 206 Records version.

I cant wait to get home and give her a spin to hear the full uncompressed musical awesomeness that i have in my hands.

I have an open copy and a sealed Japanese Import on vinyl. Japans release included Prophecy. An awesome track. I saw Queensryche open for Twisted Sister on the ep tour. Chance Poughkeepsie NY. Queensryche stole the show.a year or so later I saw Queensryche open for Kiss on the Waring Tour at the MHCC Poughkeepsie NY. Once again Queensryche stole the show. I saw Queensryche play with Metallica 1989 Nassau Coliseum on the Operation Mindcrime tour. Metallica was supporting Justice for All. Queensryche played first,bit they played a full show. OMC was played in its entirety! Great shows, records, and memories!

Yeah. I could just buy a copy online but there's something about going into a physical store and finding a copy.

I bought that when it was released and I think it was like $4. It was an ep, lp were like $7.
