So once you've completed your want list, tracked down those rare items, and even gotten the colored vinyl versions on your shelf, what's a metal collector to do? Simple, go find versions with different covers! Cover layouts, artwork, band photos, center labels, etc sometimes get altered when another pressing is made, a different label distributes the record in another territory, or just 'for reasons'. Tonight let's take a quick look at a few cool album variants I've got on the NWOBHM shelf. My voice is a bit off in this video due to a nasty bout of hay fever, so I'll continue this topic next week with a dive into the singles boxes.
(I did decide to save colored vinyl variants for their own video; I've already covered some of those way back in episode #1).
