Metallica – The $5.98 EP: Garage Days Re-Revisited (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Released just weeks after Cliff Burton's replacement Jason Newsted joined the band, the original 1987 EP served as both a statement of intent and a pressure valve, letting a grieving, transitional Metallica announce their new lineup through the music that shaped them rather than original material. The deliberately cheap price tag was the band's way of signaling that this was a fan gift, not a cash grab.
The Wait is over…Actually, it’s back! Nearly three decades after going out of print, Metallica will release a remastered version of The $5.98 EP - Garage Days Re-Revisited on April 13, 2018 as part of thir ongoing remasters series via their own Blackened Recordings label.
Originally released over 30 years ago on August 21, 1987, the collection features the band covering songs by early Metallica influencers such as Diamond Head, Holocaust, Killing Joke, Budgie, and The Misfits. The five songs from the EP were later included as a part of the 1998 multi-platinum release Garage, Inc., but the band felt it was time to bring it back in the original formats!
Garage Days Re-Revisited was remastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood, CA
