Metallic-Era Vol. 1 & 2

The beginning of Metallica’s career they played many covers and even recorded some on The $5.98 EP, Garage Days Re-Revisited. Again in 1998 they released the same track on that Ep and a bunch more that were great version of the original. If you ever want to hear the originals of those songs there are two fairly inexpensive compilations out there called The Metallic-Era that have been out for quite some time now. Metallic-Era Vol. 1 has the songs they covered in the early days and Vol. 2 has some of the songs they covered later on and a cover of Metallica’s Master Of Puppets from Holocaust. People praise the Vol. 1 but they say Vol. 2 is not as good. If anything Vol. 1 is worth it and you might find it under 10 bucks.
