Black-vinyl pressing of the 1985 debut from Megadeth, the American Thrash Metal band led by founder, frontman and songwriter Dave Mustaine. As a pioneer of the Thrash Metal movement, Megadeth rose to international fame in the mid 1980s Early in 1985, the band was given $8,000 by Combat Records to record and produce their debut album. However, after spending half of that budget on drugs and alcohol, the band was forced to fire their original producer and produce the album themselves. Despite this, Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good! was a well-received effort that blended elements of Thrash, Speed Metal and Punk Rock. Back On Black. 2008.
