Metallica announce '… And Justice For All' 30th anniversary remaster
Metallica are re-releasing their seminal fourth studio album ‘… And Justice For All’ to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
Following on from last autumn’s expansive ‘Master of Puppets’ reissue, the remastered version of ‘… And Justice For All’ will be released on Friday 2nd November via Metallica’s own imprint Blackened Recordings.
The re-release of ‘…And Justice For All’ has been remastered for the most advanced sound quality overseen by Greg Fidelman, and will be available in multiple digital and physical formats.
Available to pre-order from Metallica’s official website now, pre-orders of all versions of the album will come complete with an instant free download of ‘Dyers Eve (Remastered)’, while those who order the expanded and deluxe editions will also get ‘Eye of the Beholder’ recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon in October 1988. Listen to both at the bottom of the page.
The …And Justice For All reissue will be available physically as a Standard Double 180 gram LP, Standard CD, 3 CD Expanded Edition, Cassette, Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set and digitally as a Standard album (available to stream and download), an Expanded Edition (available for download only), and a Digital Deluxe Box Set (available for streaming and download).
The Expanded Edition will include previously unreleased demos, rough mixes, previously unreleased live tracks, and an expanded booklet of never-before-seen Ross Halfin photos.
Costing £155.99, the one-pressing-only Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set will include the remastered double 180g LP, a “One” picture disc, 3 LPs featuring their iconic performance from Seattle in 1989 remixed by Greg Fidelman, 11 CDs, 4 DVDs, a set of four patches, a Pushead print, a tour laminate, lyric sheets, a download card for all material in the set, and a deluxe 120-page book with never-before-seen photos and never-before-told stories from the people who were there.

Originally released on Friday 7th September 1998 on Elektra Records, ‘… And Justice For All’ was met with critical acclaim upon release and has gone on to achieve Platinum status in the UK and shift over 8million units Stateside.
It was the first Metallica album to feature bassist Jason Newstead, following the death of Cliff Burton two years earlier, and it spawned anthems including ‘One’, ‘Eye of the Beholder’ and ‘Harvester of Sorrow’.
