Live Undead

Another first press Slayer record that I was able to pick up from Tim's collection.

Slayer's Live Undead has always been a "nice to have" type of record and has never been something that I've actively tried to track down.... maybe that's because it was originally only pressed as a picture disc, and I'm not really fond of the format. Still, that was the format that I remember seeing advertised in magazines as a kid, so as I'm building my Slayer collection, this picture disc was really the only way that I was going to be satisfied.

The original press only contains three live songs on side A, and then side B has three studio tracks tacked on from their Show No Mercy LP and the Haunting The Chapel EP... which makes it really feel unnecessary, as later pressings include four more songs from that live session. I still have my 2011 reissue so if I'm going to put a Live Undead record on the turntable it would most likely be that one... but still, there is something special about finally owning this original picture disc.
