Thrash Vinyl Collection Update 🤘

[@marc.g.with.a.c.]

That feeling you’re talking about when you get that OG copy in your hands & put it on the turntable is exactly why I love & collect the physical format! Pretty much every album I own does that for me in some way or another… plus I get that feeling from Vinyl, CDs & Cassettes… & I think that’s because I’ve bought all 3 formats from the very start! ‘Forbidden Evil’ OG vinyl for £30… you’ve just made me cry Michael, lol! Good to see yer mate!🤘🏻

[@metalmickey]

😂 hey you do way better than me for getting stuff on the shelves. I've bought nothing from 2024 so far. Back in the day I did buy some cassettes but probably only 30ish. The rest were copied and they were very random. Obituary to Carter USM via Chris Issac 😂 I shit you not!

Sick morbid Angel sweater.

[@metalmickey]

Cheers mate

Good stuff mate, all bangers.

[@GRockVC]

Some great albums you picked up there Mike, cool that some of them bring back memories, always nice when that happens. When you come up with buying plans they never seem to go according to plan I've noticed. Shattered existence has great artwork imo and worth getting the vinyl for that.

[@metalmickey]

No that's very true lol in always evolving but I'm getting nearer to where I'm happy

[@thegrimmfluencer]

Fuck me Mick,, you picked up some bargains there mate! Thankss again for introducing me to that Whiplash album. Great record!

[@metalmickey]

Aye I know. I was due a bit of luck 😂

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Nice slab o’ Thrash 🤘”I just got this off a guy” sounds shady as fook but it’s how I get most of my finds also😝 some nice bargains you scored and I feel the same as you when you check the discogs prices when you add it to your collection after you score a bargain and you realise that you got it for less than half it currently goes for. Darcy is a legend for gifting you the Slayer records, totally agree that they sound awesome. Whiplash Power is killer and was the last full length album I needed to finish my thrash collage last year. I found an OG of Ticket a few years ago and I think it’s good. MOV do such a great pressing 🤘have a great weekend mate

[@metalmickey]

Yeah I don't think it's a crap album but it's not in the same league as the first one and t h it wasn't cheap.Mov do make a good job of them though you're right

[@garyhanna9334]

Nice collection. I had a few of those on tape. I was definitely listening to my Walkman back then. I kept them for years but sold my Persistence and Xentrix a while back. I had State of Euphoria on vinyl tho. Sanctuary Refuge Denied was another tape fav of mine.

[@metalmickey]

Have you got anymore for sale?

[@garyhanna9334]

@@metalmickey hi there. It’s hard too remember what I still have at my folks house. Might have Rust in Peace, practice what you preach and persistence of time on cassette. I’d sell my Ride the Lightning tape - have it here.

[@metalmickey]

@@garyhanna9334 ah sorry I meant vinyl

[@garyhanna9334]

@@metalmickey I was thinking of selling my Peace Sells. It’s OG very clean.

[@metalmickey]

@@garyhanna9334 I have that already but I'm certainly looking to buy Killing is My Business if you have it.

[@This-Is-Music]

You oicked up some really good records there. You deserve a medal for obtaining that copy of 'Spreading...' :D

[@metalmickey]

Yeah it was touch n' go 😂

[@This-Is-Music]

@@metalmickey :D

[@tainted_lord87]

Awesome thrash update Mike! Good to see Anthrax, Forbidden, Agent Steel, Metallica and Slayer!

[@waxwiresnwaves]

Nice update, great records, cheers for the video. Congrats on the MOP and Possessed bargains! Some other early Metallica pressings worth considering are the 2LP 45rpm of the first three Metallica albums, though people don't rate the Kill em all one at 45rpm, I think it sounds good, RTL and MOP at 45rpm on the other hand get great reviews. I hope the 2nd Whiplash grows on you, the third is great too, hope a copy turns up for you soon!

[@metalmickey]

Yeah I've seen those but they are expensive too. I think the constant turning over needed would be annoying wouldn't it.

[@waxwiresnwaves]

@@metalmickey 100% more faffing about.

[@mrboulder9714]

Some killer picks ups here mate. State of Euphoria is a bit underrated I think, the 2 before it are definitely better though. Slayer's Divine Intervention also massively underrated and certainly one of my favourite's of theirs. At least you didn't buy Kin. That's definitely a step down in the Xentrix discography. Great stuff Mike

[@metalmickey]

I seen Kin on sale for really cheap around a tenner but no I know that wasn't for me. I've almost got the bit hitters now but the ones I need are quite expensive these days.

[@AttackFromDownunda]

I seem to have all the bad cousins to the albums you like😄I have the Whiplash " Ticket " album. If " Power" is way better i'm getting it!, as I thought " Ticket " was great. I'm with you on the idea that If i'm buying an album I used to love, its got to be exactly the same as how I remember it. With the cover, stickers, inlay e.t.c in good condition. Anything less will not do. Glad you are enjoying your latest purchases Mike.

[@metalmickey]

Oh well you are in for a treat. You need the debut. I'd say that, Artillery - By Inheritance and Anacrusis - Suffering Hour are the best thrash albums I've learned of in the VC that I missed back in the day

[@AttackFromDownunda]

@@metalmickey I can easily get Artillery- M.O.V " Fear Of Tomorrow " , but i get the feeling its maybe not their best. Anacrusis I will look for, thanks for the tip. Do still rate Hydra Vein " Rather Death "?. Or have you sold it?.

[@metalmickey]

@@AttackFromDownunda Yeah I still have that one

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Good to hear you’re going to pull the trigger on South Of Heaven, I love those reissues! First 6 Slayer are essential thrash!

[@metalmickey]

Thanks again for these 🤘 Have a good weekend. Mine will be shit unfortunately. She's at work absolutely there's a storm coming apparently

[@metalmartymac]

Thrash collection is coming on very nicely, you picked up some great albums…like you I do get a good vibe from favorite ogs from back in the day but unfortunately it doesn’t happen often enough Enjoyed this one Mike

[@metalmickey]

Yeah I've been concentrating pretty much exclusively on it the last year. I've not really bought anything else and nothing at all from 2024. I'm really happy sticking with the old stuff now

[@metalmartymac]

@@metalmickey nothing wrong with that You’ll have a lovely thrash collection

[@albertampel4175]

I didn´t know you have one of those "CD loading" Denon tapedecks. I have two of those, the 810 and the smaller 640. They´re great! I know why you like "Walk..." and "Burning..." of off the second Whiplash most. They´re both old demo tracks written before the debut came out. I can totally get what you mean with the memories attached to old OG vinyl LPs, same here! Oh, when you come over, maybe you can touch my OG "Power and Pain" record, hahaha... maybe... hehe...

[@metalmickey]

Oh yes I have I think it's a 610 from memory. It's mint condition too. Cost me a few quid I can tell you lol. Those Whiplash songs are certainly the best ones on that one. Would have fit nicely on that first album. Hey you done a good job on that review I just watched it before.

[@under-one-flag]

Nice hoodie mate

[@metalmickey]

Cheers Lee

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Mike!!! cool stuff you have added to the OG collection and for an awesome price too.... I do agree with your thoughts about what album you should/want to get on vinyl - cds - mp3 and since prices are an important thing this days getting a reissues are ok with me.I have an early pressing or OG (don't know) of "Kill'em all" same thing for "Ride....." but have a brazilian pressing of "Master....." and no "Justice...." so a reissues will have to be. cheers

[@metalmickey]

I bet those different pressings of big bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden you see over there are worth big money over here you know. Cheers Christian

[@glennandreasen3152]

Hi Mickey, I think most of us have been guilty of getting caught up in the excitement of buying multiple albums at the same time then giving it a spin and thinking mmm maybe I didn't need it that bad 🤷 I'm with you on Xentrix....I love Shattered existence, been told by several people For Whose Advantage is the go to Xentrix album.....listened to it and don't rate it as highly.....anyway I enjoyed your video, cheers 🤘

[@metalmickey]

@@glennandreasen3152 cheers mate. I think Sabbat is the best in UK thrash actually but Xentrix is a close second

[@wm-nu1yf]

The Metallica and Anthrax albums I had back then were all on CD. I did have the Creeping Death album on green vinyl which I found surprisingly cheap, but Metallica weren't very popular yet when I bought it.

[@metalmickey]

I've had all these and the 12" and picture discs and stuff in the 80s, same with Anthrax and Helloween and WASP. They were my collecting bands 😂

[@seanbeast939]

How the hell did you get Cloudy to part with a copy of Spreading? You must have some incriminating photographs or something? 😮 £30 for Forbidden Evil is a bloody steal...and Master! 😂 It's strange how our music relates to certain memories from years ago. I do agree that listening to an OG press and holding the original artwork, sleeve, liner notes, is a great way of reminiscing. For Whose Advantage was my introduction to Xentrix so I do like it but whenever I get the urge to play them then it's always Shattered. Really enjoy seeing these thrash updates, Mike 🤘

[@metalmickey]

Cheers Sean. Luckily all the planets aligned and it was a full moon that night with Cloudy 😂 The old memories do come flooding back with these d presses. I'm delighted to be finding them but it's harder this year than last.

[@Dogtown16v]

I’ve got that Xentrix album OG in perfect condition. Bought it when they sold it at the gig they played in Preston when they released the record. It’s all signed as well.

[@metalmickey]

Nice! I used to have it but I sold my old vinyl around 95 😞.

[@cloudymildermetalmogul]

How can you like thrash metal and not like solos? Weirdo, lol. Your og collection has come on great guns especially given the prices these days. I'm glad I was able to fill that Spreading gap for you, happy it went to a good home!

[@metalmickey]

Actually if you watch Mr Boulder in his new video he says the same thing. They e never done anything for me. Most boring part of a song for me. I think I've been very lucky with the OG thrash and thankfully I don't have a big list left to get. 10 more at the most will do it I think.

[@robertg305]

Legendary stuff!

[@MosherBear]

Still got my vinyl copy of Persistence of Time in my collection. Bought it at Our Price for £7.49. On the subject of buying original pressings for £30, I don't have an issue with it - bought Survive by Nuclear Assault for that amount and don't regret it. Wouldn't mind getting Seven Churches on vinyl either, the earliest death metal album.

[@metalmickey]

Well that's the endless debate isn't it. I think I probably lean more towards Death but I see why it's in the running for it

[@under-one-flag]

POT is my favourite Anthrax - their heaviest and darkest. Love that Forbidden album, total class. I have most of these on original cd, so not arsed about original vinyl - reissues on vinyl will do me. Seasons is my favourite Slayer album, own it on cd and vinyl.

[@metalmickey]

Quite surprised by that. Had you down for Among the Living. I can take or leave the new stuff.

[@under-one-flag]

@@metalmickey Among in 2nd place

[@petrirantanen]

Those Slayer reissues from Darcy are a goldmine. They cost a house. I have all of them all but been thinking of getting rid of albums after Divine Intervention

[@metalmickey]

Yeah I was very grateful to him sending these. I sold my Slayer CDs after D I. Just not I to them all that much
