Risk: Hells Animals Tour Shirt

Here we have an original 1989 Risk “Hells Animals” tour shirt, from their tour with ManOWar!!!! I cannot believe i have this, i thought i was “cursed” to only find Ratman related Risk shirts but no!!!

The same seller who sold me the blue-background Ratman Lives shirt send me a handwritten note saying how he had this one for sale, and wanted me to get first dibs before he listed it on eBay… less than 2 weeks later the shirt was at my doorstep 😄

Shirt is a lot more worn than any of my other Risk shirts, i don’t mind, i’ve got Hells Animals on cloth!! The bottom hem is a little wonky, and there’s some small pin holes near the collar; the collar itself is in great condition, so is the print! Some cracking, but the backprint is flawless!! Tag is beyond faded, but it’s safe to assume it’s an MCS tag, same as the Ratman Lives blue-background.

This album is the most “sentimental” Risk album for me, it was the first one i had on tape, and it’s the one i played the most out of, Sicilian Showdown being one of my favorite tracks. Many thanks to Gregor for sending this my way!!

All that to say - this shirt is awesome!!!! There are a few Hells Animals prints out there, one with just the album art, no logos & a SPV copyright on the bottom, and one that’s two sided with a Tankard print on one side, and Risk on the other - both are availible on sweatshirts, including this one!
