Master Of Puppets (Remastered) – Deluxe Box Set

I picked up Master Of Puppets (Remastered) – Deluxe Box Set that I pre-ordered from Amazon at one of Amazon pickup locations.

Master of Puppets (Remastered) hit the street on Friday, November 10, 2017 but the Deluxe Box Set was not delivered until Tuesday, November 14, 2017.

This limited edition deluxe box set contains a lot of things:

  • Three vinyl records (with a MP3 Download Card)
  • Ten CDs, two DVDs
  • One cassette
  • A hardcover book including never-before-seen photos
  • A folder containing handwritten lyrics
  • A set of six buttons, and
  • A “Damage, Inc.” lithograph.

Wait a minute, a “cassette”?
What is it?
How do you even play this “cassette”?

Thankfully, Amazon includes AutoRip of the box set, including the cassette (tape). I didn’t even have to use the MP3 Download Card. The cassette contains fan recording from Solnahallen, Stockholm, Sweden – September 26th, 1986; it was Cliff Burton’s last show.

Eight songs off Master of Puppets, tracking in at 54 minutes and 46 seconds, reinvented heavy music in 1986.

On March 23, 2016, Master of Puppets was selected as one of 25 recordings that were added to the National Recording Registry; as it is deemed as “cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society.”

I would like to add that Master of Puppets is culturally, artistically and historically significant to the world.

Re-Master of Puppets

Due on Friday, November 10, 2017

Master of Puppets is the third of Metallica Remastered series, following Kill ‘Em All and Ride The Lightning.

Currently Master of Puppets (Remastered Deluxe Boxset) is available for pre-order at Amazon for $137.49. It is also available for purchase directly from Metallica for $174.99 plus shipping & handling.

You can also watch Master Of Puppets (Live At The Roskilde Festival) video from the boxset.

I pre-ordered the Deluxe Boxset the day it was announced. Master of Puppets is definitely one of the best records ever made.

Master of Puppets

I had an assignment earlier today involving Mac Pros. Considering that I’d be having some travelling and waiting, I decided to bring some music with me. At home I went through my collections and picked up one CD that I haven’t touched in a long time, physically. Yeah, thanks to the convenience of digital music, in the cloud. I loaded the CD in my computer and, well, you can guest the rest.

Metallica - Master of Puppets

It’s Metallica’s 1986 seminal record Master of Puppets. I actually listened to the whole record from beginning to finish, without skipping a single second. That’s the whole 54 minutes and 46 seconds of musical bliss, to me.

Stories from the past: Damage Inc. Tour

A friend of mine and I were sharing stories and one in particular came up. It was Metallica’s Damage Inc. Tour back in 1986 opening for Ozzy Osbourne. That was the last tour Cliff Burton was on before tragically killed in bus accident on September 27th, 2986.

My friend still has the ticket stub from the show from June 14th, 1986 at Long Beach Arena. For a lot of people Metallica was the reason they went to the show.
