METALLICA - Master Of Puppets

Item Description

Vinyl,
7" Single 45 RPM

Cover is printed on brown cardboard. Imprimé en France · Aude 280.41.15
The distributor is spelled correctly as MUSIDISC on the center labels.

On the back of the sleeve you can read 'Extrait de l'Album 2320' ('excerpts' of two songs of the album [r=2195172]). As the record plays at the speed of 45rpm the playing time per side is limited to approximately 5 1/2 minutes, but 'Master of Puppets' lasts 8:38 min and 'Welcome Home (Sanitarium)' 6:28 min. So due to the limited playing time both tracks are shortened 'fade out' versions: 'Master of Puppets' fades out after 3:30 min. right before the acoustic guitar part sets in and 'Welcome Home (Sanitarium)' lasts only 4:00 min.

An almost identical counterfeit pressing of exists ([r=9102031]).
On the counterfeit pressing the distributor is misspelled as MUSICDISC on the center labels
and the cover is printed on white cardboard.
See pictures to compare.
