Megadeth - Peace Sells But Who s Buying album cover
 Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? is the second studio album by Megadeth. Originally, the project was being handled by a small record company called Combat Records, and this resulted in the first mix of the album (nicknamed "Peace Diffs... But Who's Buyin?" aka "Peace Sells Combat Mix"; can be found on the internet as a bootleg). Eventually Capitol Records bought the rights to the album and a producer was hired to mix it himself. It was released in 1986. It was then remixed and remastered in 2004 by Dave Mustaine (though it is not known if the remaster is of the Combat release, the Capitol release, or a combination of both).
The album's cover makes an ironic statement about the Cold War. On the backdrop of a red and orange sky, it shows the United Nations headquarters soon after a nuclear attack. In the foreground is the band's mascot, Vic Rattlehead. He stands above a sign reading "For Sale" ("Vic Realtors" appearing in some copies), implying that the United Nations is for sale. The cover and the title suggest that while peace is a popular theme, if it were sold as a commodity, no one would buy it. These themes carry into the title track, with its strong themes of youth disillusion. Dave Mustaine got the title from a Reader's Digest article.
The song "Peace Sells" ranked #11 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs and the bassline at its beginning was used for years as the theme for MTV News and also appeared in the 2002 videogame Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, playing on Rock station V-Rock.
