My Actual Metallica Collection;

back to Main Page

 I decided to trim down my collection a few years ago so i could concentrate on what i considered to be the important items, on this page is a list of the actual items i have kept in my collection, these fit into the following categories;
  1. Test Pressings
  2. Miss Pressings
  3. Top 100 Items
  4. Signed Items
  5. Memorabilia
  6. And a few other odd / cool / random bits
I haven`t bothered with the full desriptions so each entry has the important detail, what is is, how limited it is and a link;
