Short Takes: Digital Vault Surprises from Metallica and Duran Duran

December 14, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Today, we have a pair of vault releases from two acts with rich catalogues coming your way over the Internet.

If you're a hard rock fan, the news of Metallica's recent 30th anniversary concerts, where they  played hours of hits and rarities over four star-studded shows at San Francisco's Fillmore West, have probably got you really excited. (They have us excited at Second Disc HQ, too, thanks to a perfectly logical assumption that any celebration of a band this beloved is bound to lead to some reissue/compilation/box set activity of some sort.) For now, though, we do have some bonuses to report from Metallica's vaults: Beyond Magnetic, a four-track digital EP consisting of rough mixes of tracks recorded during the sessions for the band's most recent album, 2008's Death Magnetic. The four tracks - "Hate Train," "Just a Bullet Away," "Hell and Back" and "Rebel of Babylon" - were all played at Metallica's commemorative shows and subsequently gifted to members of the band's fan club.

"They are ROUGH mixes, unfinished to their original degree of mixing from March '08," the band said in a statement. "These four songs were released as gift to our closest fans, the members of our Fan Club, to enjoy. Now they're being made available to you." The EP will be available exclusively to iTunes for one week, after which all digital retailers will carry it.

Elsewhere, Duran Duran - currently on tour in Europe - have a most interesting treat for their more dance-oriented fans: in November, Capitol/EMI released four sets of remixes of classic hit "Girls on Film," all commissioned in 1998 to promote the Greatest compilation and commercially unavailable since. Club and trance producers Attica Blues, Tall Paul, Salt Tank and Tin Tin Out each contributed their talents to the mixes, making for a fresh spin on an old favorite. Each set is available through all digital retailers, but Amazon U.S. has each two-to-four-track set for 99 cents each, a considerable bargain.

After the jump, enjoy purchase links and track breakdowns for all of these digital sets!

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    All four Metallica shows will be released digitally at the very least at http://www.livemetallica.com.

    A friend also indicated that a DVD of the shows is forthcoming, but I don't know any real concrete details on that.
