Slayer have just announced the reissue of four of their classic albums with CD, cassette, and vinyl versions. On October 22nd, the two-time Grammy winning band is re-releasing Show No Mercy (1983), Haunting the Chapel (1984), Live Undead (1984), and Hell Awaits (1985) via Metal Blade Records. Ranging from $12.99 for CDs, $13.99 for cassettes, to $27.99 for vinyls, you have the opportunity to order each of these albums in any of the formats, or opt for the digital version of these reissues.

They are currently on pre-order at http://www.metalblade.com/slayer , which might be the better option with how fast these records will sell out. Slayer, formed in 1981, quickly made a name for themselves and continue being a staple of thrash metal, with members most recently working as studio musicians on the Thunder Force score.
