Heavy Metal: 24 Electrifying Performances: Warner: 1974: 2 LP VG+ Vinyl.

I have two copies otherwise there is no way I would part with Heavy Metal as it still holds up, even after 50 years! This double LP started it all much like the revolutionary Nuggets heralded the rebirth of psychedelia! This heavy metal compilation Spawned many great bands as this was a double album filled with treasures garnered from the vinyl records of many great heavy metal bands!

Though today certainly not all of these rock bands would be categorized as heavy metal. For instance Yes, The Doors and certainly the Eagles don’t register as "heavy metal" , this anthology was a perfect introduction to many excellent rock groups! Led Zeppelin , Black Sabbath and Deep Purple define the heavy metal genre ! This 1974 double album of hits was very important to me growing up as the vinyl contains, “24 electrifying performances”, that put many of these bands on the map so to speak including Golden Earring, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and The Grateful Dead among many others. This compilation was obviously a labor of love for those responsible fort it's release!

Condition wise the sleeve is a very good to very good plus, the vinyl itself is in very good plus condition some sellers would grade it excellent others would even say near mint. The inlay are just white paper sleeves that Will be replaced with brand new acid free, anti-static, non-scratching and archival inner sleeves designed to preserve the condition of vinyl records for your listening pleasure for decades to come.
