Birthright

Manowar’s Kings of Metal was the first CD I ever bought based on the cover alone. I remember it was at the Tower Records attached to the mall near my house. I remember it being a lot of money to gamble. I remember the weird plastic antitheft container for the CDs that made it actually easy to carry more than one in your hand.

The cover of Manowar's album Kings of Metal which features a faceless barbarian metal head holding a crown over his head on top of the ruins of flags of countries.

At the same mall there was a Waldenbooks. It was on the exact opposite side of the mall from the Tower Records near the arcade. I spent so much time there I can map the layout by heart. I remember a cute girl that worked there but I don’t remember her name.

And I remember buying my first gaming boxed set based on the cover alone…
