This is a very solid reissue. I have listened to many versions and the sound here is just as good as I can recall. All the instruments shine while the raw sound is still there. Normally I don't like bonus material on my vinyls, but in this case, Messiah and Revelations really belong in here. The inserts and posters are fantastic.

Recently got one of these as a gift and I must say, it sounds good. A lot of the BOB stuff can be iffy from the 00s, but I am happy with this pressing.

THIS BOOTLEG IS FROM THE 90'S. There was not picture disc of this album in the 80s.

How many of these came with the leatherwolf insert? I bought this brand new in 84-85 and it had leatherwolf lyric sheet included, not the Hellhammer sheet.

Mine features the inner sheet of the early versions, and like that I bought it back in the 80's

All the 2020 represses have the exact same songs as Apocalyptic Raids 1990 A.D. (original songs + Death Metal compilation songs) that is listed as a separate compilation release here on Discogs. So either Apocalyptic Raids 1990 A.D. is a repress of Apocalyptic Raids and not a separate compilation or then the 2020 represses of Apocalyptic Raids are actually represses of Apocalyptic Raids 1990 A.D.
