Now, that is some serious time travel, to have the song “Creeping Death” as a part of “Kill ‘Em All” record.
I’ve seen tons of gaffe on “Ozzy’s Boneyard”, a channel on SiriusXM. This one really make me want to meow loudly.
All well-read cats know that “Creeping Death” is one of the songs in Metallica’s sophomore album “Ride The Lightning”, which follows “Kill ‘Em All”.
Bang Your Heads Like It Is 1988… again!
The reissue and expanded version of “…And Justice For All” is coming on November 2, 2018.
Thanks to Metallica.com, we get the Cassette and 3CD versions a little bit early; the Box Set is scheduled to arrive on the release date.
“…And Justice For All” (Wikipedia) was originally released on August 25, 1988. It was the first full-length record featuring Jason Newsted on bass, filling in for Cliff Burton who was tragically killed in a bus accident on September 27, 1986. The song “One” is notable for being the first video single from Metallica. It was also nominated and won for the first Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
This reissue is remastered but not remixed. For those who hoped for the bass tracked to be turned up in the mixed shouldn’t hold their breath.
The Cassette version also comes with MP3 Download card.

Metallica: The $5.98 EP – Garage Days Re-Revisited (Remastered) is officially released as of Friday, April 13, 2018.
For a brief moment, the Vinyl Picture Disc was back in stock at Metallica.com Store.
This EP went out of print sometimes in 1989.
All the songs from The $5.98 EP – Garage Days Re-Revisited was made available in Garage Inc. which was released on November 24, 1998.
The $5.98 EP – Garage Days Re-Revisited (Remastered) is available in the follwing formats:
UPDATE: Friday, April 13, 2018 16:48
Regular Vinyl is in stock.
Something just arrived in the mail and we’re not really sure what it is. Sure it has “Metallica” name on it, but it doesn’t fit in any devices in the office and in the house.
Upon further inspections, we have a 1987 German pressing of Metallica “The $5.98 EP – Garage Days Re-Revisited” CD in our collections. Now to think of it, we also had the Vinyl, but we couldn’t find it.
Metallica “The $5.98 EP – Garage Days Re-Revisited” Remastered is slated for release on April 13, 2018.
The Remastered EP is coming in Vinyl, CD and Cassette Tape. Yeah, sadly we know what Cassette and 8-Track Tapes are; that’s because we used to work at a radio station in the Mid-90’s.
The Cassette Tape and the Vinyls pre-orders were sold out at Metallica.com. They might have some of them on the release day, Friday, April 13, 2018.

The $5.98 EP – Garage Days Re-Revisited will be available in the following formats:
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:
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.
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.
This is something that I’ve been meaning to post for two weeks. Finally I get to pick up a few packs of Ernie Ball strings at a local Guitar Center. I am working on a few guitars this week.
From Metallica:
What do James and Kirk do when they’re not on tour? Hang out at HQ! And now you have the chance to hang with them! In conjunction with our friends at Ernie Ball, makers of fine guitar strings and instrument accessories, three lucky winners will be coming to the San Francisco Bay Area to spend the day with James and Kirk at HQ AND get their choice of a Hetfield or Hammett Signature ESP Guitar.
