I have owned all 4 varieties of the 1st press US/EU/ UK and Canadian and the EU Roadrunner version is superior in sound to all the rest. No distortion no reverb. Such an amazing sounding press

I'm looking for the lyric sheet insert. I have a first pressing, but it's missing the insert (or it didn't come with one). If you have a spare, please hit me up.

Here is a version without the reverb amd cut lyrics on the title track. Not sure where it's from, but I know its not vinyl. I just heard this version for the first time, this after 40yrs lol. I like it. Now I have to buy the record that has this mix, is it the 1st press Roadrunner ?

Edited 3 years agoHi everyone
Melissa album exist in two different versions.
Black funeral and title song have different mix and add reverb and no vocals during guitar solo in Melissa song for example :
Roadrunner vinyl RR 9898 , CD
Japan with bonus track Black Masses , vinyl and CD Metal Blade 2018 and 2020 ...
Caroline /Megaforce all CD,s and vinyl records...
Another version sounds more sterile and have no reverb .
Have vocals during guitar solo in Melissa song , different mix especially guitars and drums.
Check it with headphones , for example Roadrunner Gold disc Remaster 1997 , Roadracer CD , vinyl Cargo...
At end..
Roadrunner released both versions
Caroline/Megaforce only one..
