Rare Mayhem numbered edition (#521/666) with poster, 40-page book and heavy vinyl. The Metallica is a numbered box set containing the first five releases and a Creeping Death pic disc.
Well all of the Back on Black pressings are just "soulless" factory products to make money on out-of-print records. Buy the rights, print the cover and maybe even lyrics inside and pick a color for the vinyl - ta-da!...
If you compare the BOB-released vinyls to the ones made by dedicated, music-loving people, there's a huge difference in how much effort has been put in the making an OOP record available for the fans again.
I try to avoid BOB releases as much as I can but well, sometimes they're just the "only" option and that's why I have a few.

I've been looking for that Mayhem, the original pressing is a bit too expensive for me and the Back on Black one I have is "surprisingly" horrible.
