MEGADETH classic 1980s thrash reissue anniversary

MEGADETH classic 1980s thrash reissue anniversary
October 28, 2008: Megadeth > Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? > 2008, 12" vinyl, Capitol Records (Limited edition, Reissue) [reissue of 1986]
Wikipedia observes about this album:
In the liner notes on the 25th anniversary reissue, Lars Ulrich gave his praise for the album, "Whether you heard this record for the first time in 1986, or you hear this record for the first time today or tomorrow, Peace Sells is a great heavy metal album. Nothing more, nothing less. It has stood the test of time. And will continue to do so."
According to Ellefson, he was once approached by Dimebag Darrell giving his approval of the album, "We went out, drank hard, a good time, and Dimebag – who was known as Diamond Darrell at that time – after we had been drinking all night, he comes up to me and he looks me dead in the eye and he goes, 'David, I just want to tell you the Peace Sells album changed my life.' And I kind of shrugged it off like, 'Oh, thanks, man. Appreciate it.' And I remember he put his hand on my shoulder. He goes, 'No, it changed my life.' It was like a sobering moment right there when he said that."
