Metallica's "Garage" Days Re-Visited on Vinyl Reissue

Metallica’s “Garage” Days Re-Visited on Vinyl Reissue

February 14, 2011 By Mike Duquette — No Comments

Metallica are reissuing their Garage Inc. compilation in several vinyl formats.

Garage Inc. was a double-disc set released in 1998 that showcased the multiple rock influences of the L.A.-based metal gods. One disc was comprised of newly recorded covers of favorites from Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy to Bob Seger and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The other disc was another collection of covers that the band had previously released on singles and EPs (notably the then-out-of-print 1987 EP The $5.98 EP: Garage Days Re-Revisited).

The new vinyl set, to be released March 1, will be available in either three or six-LP forms, all on 45 RPM 180-gram vinyl. Amazon has a very tentative-looking order page here; more info will be posted as it’s available.

In the meantime, revisit the Garage Inc. track list after the jump.
