Metallica will revisit their early years in a big way for the first time next month, when they put out an exact duplication of their thrashing declaration of intent — the 1982 demo tape No Life 'Til Leather — as a limited-edition cassette on April 18th. "Twelve people will be able to play it, but everybody else will be able to hold it in their hands and, uh, have a great time with it," drummer Lars Ulrich tells Rolling Stone with a laugh. The band will release the cassette on Record Store Day before issuing expanded CD and vinyl editions this summer, marking the first time any of their demos have been officially released.
Screw the trendy RSD cassette but the expanded vinyl / CD sound promising. Hopefully they pack it with Power Metal (1982) and some of the other demos (Live Metal Up Your Ass, Megaforce, Ron McGoverney's Garage, unreleased stuff... etc.) Somehow I fear these guys can even fuck up a sure thing like this <brickwall the shit out of it?> But I'm hoping..
Ha... I always loved the art on the bootleg
Apparently they are also re-issuing Kill 'Em All this year too

Maybe include some of those covers (Am I Evil, Blitzkrieg, etc) and don't compress the ever loving fuck out of it and it could be another win.
My love stops at Kill 'Em All, but I'm sure some people will be interested in the rest of the series....
