"American/Sony Legacy invested a great amount of care into making THE VINYL CONFLICT, treating the albums the way they would treat a great jazz, classical, Bob Dylan or Miles Davis record, something that isn't normally done for metal records. All ten albums have been re-mastered from the original analog flat master tapes and were pressed on the highest quality, 180-gram audiophile vinyl at RTI, the most-respected pressing plant in the U.S. and among the best in the world. Lacquers were cut and re-cut several times to ensure the highest sound quality. The individual vinyl discs will come in a standard, clear inner sleeve to preserve the vinyl, are then housed in high-quality litho-wrapped jackets, and then boxed in a hardcover slipcase. Additionally, reproductions of the original LP inner sleeve artwork were converted to 12X12 inserts."

Great news! The above was the info for the box set. Hopefully these will have the same mastering care given as the box set?

I won Vinyl Conflict on ebay the night before Jeff Hanneman passed away for $330.  I wish I would have picked it up when it was first released, but it has gone crazy since he died.  I was worried the seller was going to keep it and repost it for much more, but he finally shipped it.  Thankfully.

 

P.S. - The albums do sound amazing!
