Twisted Sister - Under the Blade LP (Secret Records version)

Does anyone know if the original independent version of Under the Blade by TS is worth much? The one on Secret Records?

I've seen mint or vg+ copies going for $10-$15.

Yeah, I think that LP is fairly common. My brother bought a copy just a few years ago for around $20 and that was only cuz it was autographed by Dee Snider.

Fairly common, but there is more than one pressing of this one. There is the yellow label version and the black label version. One version ends with the album spinning Day of the Rocker over and over again at the end. So its, "rock, rock, rock, rock..." until you lift the needle. The other version doesn't have this ending. They are fairly common records selling for around $10 - $20 depending on condition.

Now if you have the two 7" singles on TS Records, those are worth some dollars. Even the "Ruff Cutts" EP is worth a little more than Under the Blade.

Hey, ultmetal, check your private messages.

I have the original pressing from Secret Records on a yellow label, I bought years and years ago. Thou the label went under, they must have pressed and sold alot of copies, because its not that hard to come by.

Yeah, I bought that LP in a Caldor department store (anyone remember those?) somewhere around 1985 - which was several years after the Secret label had gone under. So there were plenty of copies around for a good long while.

My LP has the "rock-rock-rock-rock-rock" fade out at the end of "Day of the Rocker" that Ult describes above, tho I'd have to go digging in the closet to see if that's the yellow label or the black label pressing. Off the top of my head I can't remember which it is.
