If I stumbled across some OG pressings from bands I like, I would definitely still have picked up if I had in collection already. Something magical about playing original vinyl and especially at that price!
It would have been daft to leave them at that price, Mike. You'll easily get more for them if you flog them and someone somewhere will have covers for sale so could be an interesting search for you 👍😉
That's a good price. I would prolly have picked them up too. Maybe you'll find some completely unplayable copies with covers that are in decent shape that you can use.
I would have absolutely bought those as well for that price. Give them a bath, print out a vaguely acceptable cover and you'll be satisfied enough! Get some plain outer cardboard sleeves, I've seen them around, and stick an A4 cover art to the front. Turbo is polish and good stuff. Honestly great haul!
100% I'd have picked them up but to be fair I don't know what I'd have done with them as I reckon it would be hard for me to find homes for them 🤔 but anyone who sells on discogs or just wanted the music it's a no brainer! 🤘🏻
100% would have bought them too, then I would comment on every specific release on discogs saying to message me if looking to sell a cover. Also if you already have some or find them in the future you can choose one disc as your play copy etc. Hopefully they will clean up nicely! Congrats on the finds!
They've cleaned up quite nicely. I'm happy with the playback on them. I think the chance of covers turning up is very slim. Metal fans seem to have a hoarding mentality
I buy records for listening, so would definitely have done the same. For the the one's I really like I would then find a copy with the cover. Sacrilege are really good, and Within The Prophecy is one of their best.
Turbo are from Poland, the "Last Warrior" is the English version of their 1987 album. I guess you mixed them up with Target, they´re a Thrash band from Belgium. I would have bought them as well... nice and cheap haul.
Hi Mike!!! i think i would have done the same thing and for that price, but yes the main thing is what happened to the cover? what damaged maybe? stolen?.... but like many would say "you play the music, not the cover". Hope you can find the missing pieces soon. cheers
No i wouldn't have bought those, but of course the main thing is if you're happy about it. I've never bought an album without a sleeve, i try not to buy a single without a picture sleeve if i know it's been released with a picture sleeve. It is likelier to find an album sleeve without the lp than other way round so i don't think it's impossible for you to find sleeve's for those. I once found a sleeve for my Elton John album. For which i already did have a sleeve, it was an upgrade. Pasi
That's total madness! It really makes you wonder what happened to them. At the end of the day, you pay for the music, not the packaging. So, if the records actually play good then getting them for £2 each is an absolute steal! Though I understand it feels like they're not complete without the outer sleeve and cover art. I probably would have done the same, because it's still getting the albums right. Cool pickups Mike 😁🤘🏻
Yeah I think it would have annoyed me if I'd left them and I suppose if I don't like having them in this condition I can probably get my money back on them at least
@metalmickey Yeah that's fair enough, I totally get that. At that price you have to take them. And you could easily double your money on them if you wanted to sell them
I probably would have done the same thing. At least you can check them all out cheaply and act as a placeholder until you can snag full copies down the road. At that point, you have a spare inset/LP in case the full version you buy has imperfections. A weird, but cool acquisition. Cheers!
If you like the music, but didn't have the albums, it isn't a waste of money. If you already had some of the albums, you have a backup in case something happens to one of them.
If I was a vinyl collector I would have snapped them up for that price as well especially all being og presses I'd imagine copies complete with covers sell for silly money on discogs and ebay
The music is what matters and you may very well find a cover with a nackered record down the line. I would have jumped on it. There is cover only selling Facebook pages out there but not seen much metal on it. I’m looking out for a cover of the MFN OG version of Savatage Sirens as I found just the record.
We're gonna have to arrange an intervention for these degenerate vinyl addicts. I do dig that Pestilence debut though, lol. Not familiar with Turbo or Living Death. Sacrilege...i was thinking a French band.
I don't think you've wasted you're money but I I probably wouldn't have done the same, far too anal for that! Mind you when you think about it lots of people buy music digitally, with no cover, no inner and not record or cd at all - that's far more daft if you ask me... Omen The Curse is a cracking album.
I've found on Amazon a pack of 10 White sleeves. I might try and see what I can cobble together by way of a cover. Certainly annoying that they've been separated somewhere along the line
I don’t think anyone would have left them behind especially at that price
Some real classic albums in there
I would definitely have bought them at that price - its worth it for the music alone, and hopefully you may find the sleeves eventually
You would have to be out of your head to leave them in the shop for that price.

I might get the pritt stick out and print out some suitable cover designs lol. I might get another video out of it yet 😂
Within the Prophecy was one of Bolt Thrower's Inspirations early on. They were friends as well. Spin that and you can hear crusty Bolt Thrower!
Interesting mate. Never knew that cheers dude 😉🤘🏻
That's good info!

😂 I can just hear you saying in your no nonsense style "print out a vaguely acceptable cover".
@@metalmickey damn straight lol
Great shirt Mike! What a steal there!! Christ result!! Not a massive fan but for that price! Happy days!!
Nice score mate, some gems there. Me , personally, it would do my head in not having any covers so I would of left em lol
Well stay tuned in a couple of videos time !
Shame about them not having the album sleeves but you couldn't leave that lot behind for just 20 quid. I'd have picked them up too
I’d be pretty turned off at first too, but you’d be an idiot not to buy them. The mixes alone. Good score.
Sounds like you got yourself some bargains there Mike. For those prices you can probably live without the covers.
100% I'd have picked them up but to be fair I don't know what I'd have done with them as I reckon it would be hard for me to find homes for them 🤔 but anyone who sells on discogs or just wanted the music it's a no brainer! 🤘🏻

I’d have definitely bought them mate… especially at £2 a pop! Hopefully over time a cover or two will show up for you on eBay or Discogs!🤘🏻
I'll "sort by price" from now on and keep hoping lol.
Nice haul

@metalmickey Yeah that's fair enough, I totally get that. At that price you have to take them. And you could easily double your money on them if you wanted to sell them
I would have bought them for that price, no problem. Clean em up, and enjoy the OG vinyl.
I'd say that was a good buy!
If they are playable, it's a bargain! Yes, sleeves are essential, but the price was irresistible.
I probably would have done the same thing. At least you can check them all out cheaply and act as a placeholder until you can snag full copies down the road. At that point, you have a spare inset/LP in case the full version you buy has imperfections. A weird, but cool acquisition. Cheers!
Yeah I'll still be on the lookout for a better Forbidden if nothing else.
If you like the music, but didn't have the albums, it isn't a waste of money. If you already had some of the albums, you have a backup in case something happens to one of them.
Good point. No I didn't have any of these and Forbidden is a huge grail for me. I've just cleaned it up and it's playing now 🤘
TURBO- Last Warrior from Poland ,Mate.
Amazing score, I would have grabbed them all no hesitation
Can't beat a good slice of toast with real butter.
If I was a vinyl collector I would have snapped them up for that price as well especially all being og presses I'd imagine copies complete with covers sell for silly money on discogs and ebay
You should definitely check out the Virus album. Better playing, better production, can herar Voivod in parts of it.
The music is what matters and you may very well find a cover with a nackered record down the line. I would have jumped on it. There is cover only selling Facebook pages out there but not seen much metal on it. I’m looking out for a cover of the MFN OG version of Savatage Sirens as I found just the record.
Oh that's cool I'll have to look out for that page. It's hard with metal I'd say because few of us would want to part with even just the covers lol
Definitely not a waste.
I would have left no jacket no buy.
I think I could still make something on them if I sold them
@@metalmickey you may get an extra 50p 🤣🤣
I’d have bought them🙂
For 2 quid each I'd have done the same. Some people might even say you're better off without the Obnoxious cover!
Haha yes very true
Hell yeah would of picked them up! Great price 👍 obviously not ideal but your not listening to the album cover 😉😁🤘
Got Forbidden on now. I might just slot that in the first album as a sort of Forbidden Evil Plus 😂
@@metalmickey 😂👍
We're gonna have to arrange an intervention for these degenerate vinyl addicts.
I do dig that Pestilence debut though, lol. Not familiar with Turbo or Living Death.
Sacrilege...i was thinking a French band.
Sacrilege seem very much like a precursor to Bolt Thrower
I don't think you've wasted you're money but I I probably wouldn't have done the same, far too anal for that!

@@metalmickey you should totally hand draw your own versions of the covers on those sleeves. That is a video of pay to watch!
Who cares about the covers? You can't listen to the album covers. They are not needed to enjoy the music.
Acid reign are just a terrible band, the vocals are just so naff
I don't think theyre bad at all actually. I interviewed the singer a few videos back
