| Meh, it could have been good if they dropped two of the 90s albums(except for you know which) and included Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits and had the badass covers for all the records. |

Those are actually "censored" versions of the original album covers, as the originals were deemed to be offensive. My copy of "God Hates Us All" has the censored cover only as a slip, The booklet contains the real cover on the front. My copy of "Christ Illusion" has the original cover.
Really, I think this is a stupid idea. Slayer are nearing the end of the career, surely this could have waited till their final album/s are released. Especially as they are still on the same record label, as far as I know... |

Quite an impossibility really seeing those aren't Def Jam releases and the copyrights are with Metal Blade. That same problemoccured with theirSoundtrack to The Apocalypse box. |

I see they feature an alternate cover to Decade Of Agression to the one i have as well. |

Wow, I didnt even notice that! lol 
Yep, its different to the one I have as well. (A shadowy looking Jeff Hanneman playing live) The picture they're using as the cover in this box set, is the one that's on the cover of the special booklet inside my cassette of Decade Of Aggression. |
|
|
|
| My guess is it will cost between 200 and 300 euros. Which is quite a normal price for 11 slabs of vinyl (remember Decade is a 2LP) |

My guess is this cover is of the US release, and the one we have of the European/Rest Of The World. Btw I prefer my shadow to the one they will use here. |

I also have the slip thing in GHUA and the original cover on CI. Both CD versions, no vinyls. Were CI really censored or is it just because it's the edit/limited/whatever -version which includes the song "final six". Anyway the first cover is so much better.
By the way.. I dislike when special versions of the album come afterwards... -> Slayer, Cradle of Filth and many more. |

The censored cover is on the later version of the album which contains "Final Six". Although Im pretty sure the cover was changed because the original was deemed offensive, and some places wouldnt stock it.
And yes, couldnt agree more. Its totally ripping off fans releasing a "special edition" of an album sometimes only months after it first came out. I usually just download the extra tracks when that happens. lol
@Marcel: Yep, I prefer the shadow cover as well. The green logo looks kewl too! lol |

| The US CD for Decade of Aggression also features the shadowy Jeff. I believe that image was the cover of the insert booklet or something. I recall seeing it, but obtained my copy of the cd back in '91-92 when i traded a copy of Nirvana's "Bleach" for it. i recall seeing it, but it's not the cd cover. |

Yes, it's the cover of the booklet. Althought in the booklet the zooming of the photo is a little bit closer and there's also Slayer's eagle logo overhead Kerry and Jeff. |

| I almost jizzed in my pants, but as Val pointed out: no Show No Mercy, no Hell Awaits (for copyright purposes, I know). Needless to say, this box set is lacking. |

Oh well it could have been greater, but still seems as something nice for the biggest fans, I won't have enough money for this haha, so maybe it will have to wait. Also I don't have something to play vinyls  |

Could've sworn the "censored" Christ Illusion cover was a limited edition rather than censored. |

Its not really a limited edition, rather a special expanded edition. I never see the old version with the original cover in shops anymore. Only the one with the new cover. |

I just rememberd that the original cover was censored even before the special edition came out though. My copy of Christ Illusion has a slip (similar to the one for GHUA) which is white. The letters in the Slayer logo show parts of the actual cover, but the rest of it is white. |

I have seen GHUA without the slipcase. When the album was re-released with extra tracks, it didnt have the slip case Im sure.
Here is the original censored cover of Christ Illusion.

That is the slipcase I have in my copy of CI. lol The original cover is behind it on the booklet. I own both the normal and expanded editions of GHUA, and after a quick check, I was right that the expanded edition doesnt have the slipcase. Or at least the one I have doesnt have it.
@FX: As has been mentioned already, "Hell Awaits", (and "Show No Mercy") are owned by Metal Blade, so cant be included on the compilation. |

the funny thing about GHUA and the slipcase is that it pretty much inspired the same amount of stupid backlash (if not more) than the original album cover that was being, uh, covered up.
the album itself was released on 9/11/01 (*that* 9/11... which made Payback an instant favorite of mine), and some nutjobs got their panties in a twist because all those crosses
resembled an overview of... AIRPLANES! |
