Description: I am the seller - Ron Stein, the founder and first owner of Lakeshore Record Exchange in Rochester New York from 1980 through 1988, where we were one of the first stores in the U.S. to specialize in the new 1980s heavy metal. We did club shows and in-stores and sponsored the Metallic Overdrive radio show on Friday and Saturday nights. I recently bought a small collection of about 25 pieces of original 1980s heavy metal vinyl from a girl who was one of my regular customers at that time, this piece was part of that collection and was probably sold to its original buyer in my shop in 1983. I'll be listing these on eBay for the next couple of weeks, so watch my listings! Hello to all of my old Lakeshore friends! This is an ORIGINAL 1987 FIRST PRESS ROADRACER RECORDS U.S. LP titled 'The Beginning', with eight early pre-Melissa studio anf BBC tracks from King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. It is Roadracer Records U.S. catalog number RR-9603. Record comes packaged inside the cover in its original thin clear plastic inner sleeve. Please see my accompanying back cover image for the track listing and other information. Condition of record is a SOLID NM with no visible surface marks. Condition of cover is VG+ with a few slight wrinkles, some contact wear, and some wear along the edges and on the corners, no splits or tears.
