Producer: Dave Mustaine, Randy Burns Distributor: EMI Music Distribution Recording type: Studio Recording mode: Stereo SPAR Code: n/a Album notes Megadeth: Dave Mustaine (vocals, guitar); Chris Poland (guitar); David Ellefson (bass guitar, background vocals); Gar Samuelson (drums). Recording information: The Music Grinder, Los Angeles, California. Guitarist Dave Mustaine was an original member of thrash-pioneers Metallica. But he was booted from the band during the recording of that band's debut album, KILL 'EM ALL. Instead of moping around, Mustaine returned to California and immediately formed another group--Megadeth. He promised his fans that the new outfit would be faster and more lethal than his former band, and Megadeth's 1985 debut, KILLING IS MY BUSINESS, AND BUSINESS IS GOOD, made good on this threat. Megadeth and Metallica duked it out in the music press, but both acts thrived. In 1986, each released its finest record, Metallica's MASTER OF PUPPETS and Megadeth's PEACE SELLS...BUT WHO'S BUYING? While Metallica initially shunned MTV, Megadeth used the video format to its advantage--becoming the first thrash band to do so. Both "Wake Up Dead" and the anthemic title track received constant play on MTV's HEAVY METAL HOUR; the latter song's brief bass intro was even used as the theme to MTV news in the early-'90s. Tracks such as "The Conjuring," "Devil's Island," "Good Mourning/Black Friday," and a cover of Jeff Beck's "I Ain't Superstitious" proved to be just as brutal. PEACE SELLS is an influential, all-time heavy metal classic.Read full review
The entire record is a must have.

Another great CD by the influential band of Megadeth, I'm not one to write reviews but this CD is worth the time! A lot of people seem to dismiss the earlier megadeth CD's as "GARBAGE" or not great material; but I beg to differ. They have a raw energy in Peace Sells that I love! And with the melodic intro to Good Morning/ Black Friday you can't go wrong. All in all, a great line up of songs. I suggest giving this CD a listen to if not you're truly missing out on one of the greats.
I like this CD even though back then nobody ever bothered him or this cd in the 80's because of the ordeal of Metallica. I honestly love Megadeth to the point that i dislike Metallica a lot. This CD is pure 80's Thrash and a Definate must buy CD for a Megadeth Fan like me. The reason why i bought this CD is because not only im a Megadeth fan, im a collector of his remasters and will like to find more of his remastered CD's.
