Can someone add scans of all pages of the booklet. Thanks -
The record that made me start enjoying Megadeth. Love this record, songs and production on it.

At the moment 9 out of 10 last sold LPs have been unofficial colour versions. That messes up the price statistics! -

OG 1997 mix on this release, all tracks on here including "The Disintegrators", no idea what version the guy below has. (Mine is the white/grey)
Volume is definitely a bit lower and a bit of surface noise between tracks, but overall a solid alternative if like me, you want to fill the gap in the collection but not by throwing silly money out for an OG. -

Acabo de adquirir esta edición del 97 suena espectacular 🤘 tenía mis dudas por lo de 6 temas por lado pero no, suena muy bien.
Con el the world needs a Hero cambia la reedición suena mejorcito que el de época 2001 igual es 6 temas por lado, en la reedición lo sacaron en doble LP -
Im looking one. Im living in Finland.
Send me pm please -
Looking for a copy. Anyone has one reasonably priced please send a DM -
