Metallica to re-release ‘The $5.98 EP - Garage Days Re-Revisited’
Out of print for three decades, Metallica are re-releasing ‘The $5.98 EP - Garage Days Re-Revisited’ this coming spring.
Featuring covers of tracks by Diamond Head, Holocaust, Killing Joke, Budgie and The Misfits, the five-song EP has been remastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood.
Set for release on Friday 13th April 2018 via Blackened Recordings, this marks the first time this specific version is available to UK-based fans as the Killing Joke cover ‘The Wait’ was not included on the original version of the EP.

All five songs were later released as a part of the ‘Garage, Inc.’ double album, but Metallica ‘thought it would be fun’ to bring them back now in the original format straight from 1987.
