The Best Group Signed Early Metallica Album We've Ever Seen! For the undisputed Kings of Metal, this is the album that started it all. Released July 25, 1983, the release would introduce the world to a relentless onslaught that was Metallica. From that day forward, music would never be the same again!
Presented here for your bidding pleasure is an album pressing of the band's landmark debut record, boldly hand signed along the cover by all four members: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and the late legendary Cliff Burton. If you do a quick search on early Metallica group signed items, you'll discover that condition and quality of signatures is often a challenge. With the band and the fans being rowdy and raucous in these formative years, most of the group signed albums exhibit heavy handling wear and sloppy signatures. But, as can be seen with this example, one would assume that this piece was assembled by a meticilous collector, as all signatures are cleanly executed in a uniform white paint marker, and the album cover itself exhibits only minor handling wear. This is without question one of the nicest Metallica early group signed items in existence!
It must be emphasized that original Metallica albums such as this are an absolute rarity. Don't miss this opportunity! Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
