Lot #43:

Metallica Group Signed "Ride The Lightning" Record Album Cover with Cliff Burton! (PSA/DNA)

Released on July 27, 1984, "Ride the Lightning" would be a a monster success for Metallica. Selling an astounding six million copies in the United States alone, the album solidified Metallica's position as the leaders in the metal movement and brough the genre out of the basements and clubs and into the mainstream culture.

We're please to offer here an album pressing of "Ride The Lightning" that has been handsomely signed by all four members of Metallic along the cover. Signed in black Sharpie marker by guitarist Kirk Hammett, the album is finished with silver metallic marker marker autographs from James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and the late Cliff Burton. Given Burton's untimely demise in 1986, group signed albums from Metallica's original lineup are of the utmost rarities and are sure-fire investments. Some light handling wear, otherwise fine. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
