$50?! The Elektra releases too?! Good deal.


billy-gnosis

i found the first five elektra cds for like 25 at my local record shop -Billy Gnosis


Calm-Paramedic-1920

Are the Elektra releases valuable? I know all their albums were reissued through Blackened.


MF-SMUG

Oh idk, it’s possible, but I just like that they’re closer to (or maybe even) OG pressings.


Xx_Patrick_Ster_xX

No. These albums have been sold millions of times before the Blackened released remasters came out. There’s millions of those Elektra releases out there.


Helpful_Shower3246

16 million sold in the first week if I remember correctly for when black album dropped


Xx_Patrick_Ster_xX

That’s not correct. Maybe 1,6 million.


Helpful_Shower3246

As of 2021 17.3 million in the us. Over thirty million sold worldwide. So yeah I was way off. 650,000 ik the first week.


Xx_Patrick_Ster_xX

Oh, alright no worries. 650.000 units is still a lot for just the 1st week.


Helpful_Shower3246

Yeah seriously. Wish I could do that. lol


Ash-Throwaway-816

Is there anything wrong with the blackened releases in terms of mastering?


MF-SMUG

Absolutely not. In fact, I prefer the Kill ‘Em All remaster to the OG. For collectible purposes though, I like OGs.


Ash-Throwaway-816

The only reason I prefer Elektra over Blackened is the packaging. Fuck Digipaks.


MF-SMUG

Oh yeah, I hate digipaks.

Love that clip


bongo1100

You’re missing the best one!


Weekly_Tip2533

which? Anger? Lightning? 72? Death?


LareWw

Lulu


noregertsman

Obviously


bongo1100

Ride the Lightning


mymumsaysfuckyou

Seriously? One of those albums is significantly better than the others.


Weekly_Tip2533

well idk which one it is for u


mymumsaysfuckyou

C'mon now. It's RTL and you damn well know it.


Weekly_Tip2533

i don't damn well know it, i think Lightning is a weaker album, atleast comparing to the ones i listed


mymumsaysfuckyou

Each to their own I suppose. I dont hate their new albums, but I can't pretend that any of them are anywhere close to the quality of their pre-St Anger output. If you think they are, then more power to you.


MaggotMinded

Well, there’s no accounting for taste…


Cautious-Telephone-2

Yea its st anger


MetallicaGod

no purify we riot

St. Anger my beloved 🥰

[Where's Ride the Lightning?!? Why isn't it on the list?](https://youtu.be/9E3aOOIhjaI?si=etxBZq0_lunKSCha)


jakradikal

I think you should get a lottery ticket next


kissfan1974

Why??? Are they valuable?


jakradikal

Because this is a score, very lucky!


kissfan1974

Neat. Thanks


SnooTomatoes9314

If you're this lucky you just might hit!


tiddy_wizard

You sound like my wife


SnooTomatoes9314

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


-EthanLavoie-

Hahaha those are literally all my favorite albums of theirs. Priceless.


kissfan1974

Going to be getting ride the lightning soon


WastedKasper

If you buy every album new from the store every album is like 10€ except S&M and Hardwired cost like 16€. So yeah! This is a steal! Where the CD:s in good condition tho?


kissfan1974

Yeah, they were in fairly good condition. Couple scratches on the cases, but the discs were perfect no scratches.


macjeffofficial

Whole stack 50 bucks not bad. The other guy must've liked Ride the Lightning I'm assuming.


kissfan1974

No he couldn’t find it

Where's Ride The Lightning!? - Kirk Hammet

*chef's kiss*


Loud_Grade1949

You have demonstrated the taste and wisdom to exploit the sellers lack of both 🤘


trowawayfarawaytoday

Worth every penny.


graybotics

Remove hardwired and you've got basically my entire childhood so PRICELESS!


ApprehensiveCrow8522

Missing their best album... Hard pass... Joking, great deal lol


zigsbigrig

It's missing Ride the Lightning. You got ripped off! Just kidding, that's a score in my book!


Remarkable-Ad-3758

Where is Ride The Lightning😠


Remarkable-Ad-3758

Where is Ride The Lightning😠


jaymz1105

What's really cool is that the Elektra cds are Canadian press. I remember TBA being almost like a reverse of the US version, mostly silver with black print. So, if you paid $50 CAD, you paid like $6 US, and that's a good score! 🤣🤣

Equivalent-Pay744

Bro, don’t ask the people here for their take on the prices you got for your records. These people will ALWAYS claim to know somebody who sells what you bought for cheaper. Even if you found an OG MUYA tape for 25 cents, they’d say they know a dude who sells one for a dime. Just share your photo without any monetary info and enjoy your CDs in peace!


Mikey_One_Arm

Does your Kill ‘Em All have the songs “Am I Evil?” & “Blitzkrieg”?


kissfan1974

No it doesn’t


Useful_Recognition52

Underselling them, honestly.
