Anthrax Spreading the Disease Vinyl LP (not authenticated)

This is a vinyl record featuring the label of the album Spreading the Disease by the thrash metal band Anthrax. The physical item consists of a standard black vinyl disc with a central paper label printed in silver and white text against a dark grey background. The label identifies the album as 'ANTHRAX SPREADING THE DISEASE' and notes the record label as Megaforce Worldwide and Island Records, Inc. Visible printed text includes the catalog number '90480-1', 'STEREO', 'SIDE ONE', the copyright year '1985 Island Records, Inc.', and track listings for side one including '1. A.I.R. (5:44)', '2. LONE JUSTICE (4:37)', '3. MADHOUSE (4:17)', '4. S.S.C./STAND OR FALL (4:09)', and '5. THE ENEMY (5:23)'. Additional production and publishing credits are printed towards the bottom, such as 'PRODUCED BY CARL CANEDY AND ANTHRAX', 'EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: JON ZAZULA', and 'ENGINEERED BY ALEX PERIALAS', alongside the matrix/pressing code 'ST-IL-855847-SP'. The iconic Island Records logo is prominently featured at the bottom of the label. The vinyl surface shows minor dust particles and typical surface sheen under lighting, but no major scratches or deep gouges are readily apparent from this angle. The identification is based entirely on the legible text and logos printed directly on the center label of the record. The visual characteristics are consistent with a mid-1980s commercial pressing, though the physical authenticity and grading of the vinyl itself remain unverified.

Based on what I can see in the provided image, the vinyl record bears labels consistent with a mid-1980s commercial pressing of Anthrax's album Spreading the Disease, featuring Megaforce Worldwide and Island Records branding along with catalog number 90480-1. However, I cannot verify from a photo alone whether this is a period-correct pressing, a later reissue, or a modern replica, as matrix codes, vinyl weight, and runout groove etchings must be physically inspected. Assuming the attribution to a standard 1985 commercial release is correct, comparable items of this type typically trade within a market range of $40 to $80 depending heavily on the physical grading of both the vinyl disc and the sleeve condition. Because this piece is unauthenticated, the stated value range is conditional upon physical verification. If an in-person inspection reveals the item to be a modern bootleg, a later unofficial pressing, or a replica, the market value would drop significantly, likely to the $15-25 range. To fully confirm the pressing details and overall condition, the item would require physical inspection by a vinyl specialist to examine runout etchings, paper stock, and the complete packaging.
