Original Pressing

To Hell with the Devil is Stryper's third album, released on October 24, 1986 on Enigma Records. Singles from the album, "Calling on You", "Free" and "Honestly" were popular mainstream hits playing on radio stations, as well as MTV, in regular rotation giving the band much needed broad appeal. When "Honestly" peaked at No. 23 on the Top 40 charts, it cemented Strypers place in history. To Hell With The Devil went on to receive a Grammy Award nomination as was certified RIAA platinum on January 6, 1988, selling more than 2 million copies. The album is regarded by most to be one the most influential Christian rock albums of all time. When Enigma, the band's record label, first release To Hell With the Devil, the original artwork, cause an extreme amount of controversy. Call it timing, luck or divine intervention, the publicity Stryper received was a welcomed addition to an already chart topping album.The original artwork Angel Artwork depicted four angels, resembling the band members throwing the devil into a fiery pit. The cover was changed for Benson Distribution, the distributor for the Christian market, who carried this alternative black cover with the Stryper logo and the red album title in the center.

This is not a reissue, a re-release or a re-print. Its an original, authentic 1986 Benson Distributors, Enigma Records Catalog number PJAS-573237, from 30 years ago.

For many it was life-changing, for collectors, a treasured collectible, for all of us, a defining moment and memory that will live forever.

Classic Stryper

It's great to have this album on vinyl. The songs sound sooooo good especially for a record that is from 1986. The gatefold did stick in a couple of places but I didn't mind. The only drawback was that on The Way the song gets stuck at the exact same place. I tried cleaning the record but it still occurs in the same spot. In spite of that the rest of the record plays flawlessly. There is no way to to give this less than 5 stars. I am just happy to have this in my vinyl collection. It was worth the risk.

AWESOME

Seriously, the album sleeve and record itself are in pristine condition. It was like opening a time vault. Thank you so much! Album plays perfectly.

Yellow and Black Time Machine

First off, the story of how these presses became available is a real treat. The fact that sealed 1986 Benson presses are for sale so inexpensively is remarkable! I ordered 2 (one 2 open and one to save). While Girder Music recommends not opening the gatefold, I was able to with minimal damage (but I am sure that every copy will be different). The vinyl itself was relatively warped out of the jacket, but I was able to straighten it out using the glass press method and it plays like new! I love a project and I love to treasure hunt, and this did not let me down.
The package itself was shipped fast (despite the holidays) safely! I am thrilled to add these to my collection and I appreciate them being available so affordably. Thank you Girder Music!
