Anyway, this is a Back On Black reissue of their first album "In Battle There Is No Law" from last year. Grey vinyl. This album originally saw the light of day in 1988 via Vinyl Solution Records. Comparative to a lot of their later material, this LP had a noticeably more 'crust' feel to it translated mostly through the relatively rough, more punk recording. Subsequent material took on a much more death metal approach with the massively downtuned guitar sounds and heavier vocals.
From what I can tell this reissue is somewhat faithful to the original in the artwork department. A gateold sleeve is offered here, though I'm not sure if the first press was offered this way or not. Based off the crusty, rough nature of the band at that point back then, I'm kind of assuming that the first press probably came with a regular sleeve. I could be wrong though.

Someone sell me "Realm Of Chaos" for a reasonable $$ value.

I've the original Vinyl Solutions press of this and you're correct, no pointless gatefold sleeve. The original came with a double sided insert with lyrics one side and a band photo the other side, of which they look like a bunch of crust punks.
As a side note, I have all the original Bolt Thrower presses, in fact, most of the early Earache releases, all picked up for 2 and 3 quid back in the days when people were dumping their vinyl for CDs!
