That EP...what a great introduction to the Joey Belladonna years of Anthrax. They were poised and ready for global domination in my opinion, but Metallica buried everyone. Still, there were enough scraps left on the table for all the good bands to get their fill.

It is very thin. Feels like it could cut you.Have you noticed how thin the vinyl is on this EP? My copy is almost translucent!
Agreed. Those two albums are speed metal royalty. I saw them once, I believe in support of the second album. I think Necros opened for them.This and their 2nd LP, Death & Insanity, are two of my favorites from that time period. I saw Hallows Eve opening for Agnostic Front and Motorhead, touring for the D&I album. They killed it so hard. Such a good live band. Agnostic came out after them and tore the place up.
Motorhead was on the Orgasmatron tour (one of my favorite Motorhead albums) and I was so pumped to see them. Some Agnostic fans attacked Lemmy's mike stand and spit on him a few times. He shut the show down mid-way through the fourth song. The punks ripped the mirrors off the Motorhead tour bus after the show. It was something to see.
Is this guy an AK member?
I just weighed my Anthrax on vinyl collection. They're all first pressings.Have you noticed how thin the vinyl is on this EP? My copy is almost translucent!
