Description from the seller

General Information

Artist: Megadeth
Title: Countdown to Extinction
Label: Capitol Records / Combat
Catalog number: C 163340
Format: Cassette, Album, Club Edition
Year: 1992
Country: US
Edition: BMG Direct Marketing, Inc. Club Edition

Description

Released in July 1992, Countdown to Extinction is the fifth studio album by the American thrash metal legends Megadeth. This album represents the commercial peak of the band's career, famously debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Following the technical complexity of Rust in Peace, Dave Mustaine and the "classic" lineup—featuring Marty Friedman, David Ellefson, and Nick Menza—transitioned toward a more streamlined, melodic, yet still crushing sound. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1993 and includes some of the band's most iconic tracks, such as "Symphony of Destruction," "Sweating Bullets," and "Skin o' My Teeth."

Condition

Tape: Presumed MINT (unplayed)
Case: Factory-sealed, never opened

Notes for collectors

This particular copy is a BMG Direct Marketing, Inc. "Club Edition," distinguished by the specific catalog number C 163340 found on the spine and the J-card. Unlike standard retail versions, club editions were distributed through mail-order services, making them a unique variant for completionist collectors. The item remains in its original factory shrink-wrap, featuring the clean "Y-fold" seals on the top and bottom edges. It is a high-grade specimen of a multi-platinum metal masterpiece, featuring the dual branding of Capitol Records and Combat.
