The first of the two reissues, the "Show No Mercy 40th Anniversary Edition," comes in a meticulously designed slipcase with gold hot-foil embossing, setting the tone for the following premium quality.
The Gold Black Dust LP has been masterfully crafted for vinyl, meticulously engineered from the original master tapes by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony in May 2023. This ensures listeners experience the timeless thrash metal sound in all its glory.
True to the spirit of celebrating four decades of "Show No Mercy," Metal Blade includes a 12" LP booklet, a slipmat, a poster, show flyers, and a signing card in the anniversary edition.
