Offered Here: Metallica 1986 Master of Puppets Fully Band Autographed LP Sleeve. This item is an original 1986 'Master of Puppets' LP sleeve signed by Metallica's definitive lineup. The sleeve is autographed by James Hetfield in black marker, Kirk Hammett and Cliff Burton in silver marker, and Lars Ulrich in blue marker, who also included the era-specific inscription "86 vodka!!" This sleeve represents a key moment in Metallica’s history, as it is the final album to feature the bassist Cliff Burton.
Provenance/Authenticity: Roger Epperson (REAL) Letter of Authenticity.
Additional Information: "Master of Puppets," released on March 3, 1986, was Metallica's third studio album and is widely regarded as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time. Notably, it was the first Metallica album to be certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and has since gone multi-platinum. It was last album to involve bassist Cliff Burton, who tragically passed away in September 1986 during the album's tour.
Condition: The sleeve is in good condition, showing heavy signs of wear, aging, and storage. Significant edgewear and creasing are evident throughout, although these flaws do not interfere with the clarity of the four distinct signatures. It is offered as the sleeve only, serving as an evocative display piece.
