      Does not fit either https://discogs.sitiodesbloquea.com/release/14818123-Slayer-South-Of-Heaven . Haven't the shrink, but still far of from Specialty Pressing. Anyone knows about this?

        Love this fucking album!!! Better than Reign or Abyss. Tom's vocals are just fine, no need to scream all the time...Just my preference...

              Anyone have a copy for sale with a decent sleeve and trashed vinyl? My copy plays fine but the cover is heavily damaged.

                My copy of this pressing sounds great, even with a lot of surface marks the songs are loud enough that I can't hear any of the noise aside from intros/between tracks. Stellar album, their best by far imo.

                    I have a version of this with the GHS 24203 code on the disc. The front has the two stickers on the sleeve, however the sleeve and the dust sleeve are entirely black with no text or images. Does anyone have any ideas about this release?

                      I have one that reads Side 1: GHS-2 4203-A- SR-1DMMSP1-2 SP-AR "pyramid symbol" 21235 MASTERDISK B-31791-SR1-DMM, Side 2: GHS-24203 -B- SR1 DMM 3-1 MASTERDISK B-31821-SR1 "pyramid symbol" 21235-X. 0-DMM is above that last part and some numbers scratched out follows. Different pressing perhaps?
