Just a few hours ago, I posted on the upcoming availability of a Deluxe Boxed set for Ride The Lightning, the 1984 Metallica classic. But now it’s not just Ride The Lightning that is getting the immense workover, it’s also Kill ‘Em All, their 1983 debut.
The update for Kill ‘Em All will provide not only the brand new remaster of the audio, but will issue a grand collection of album related goodies that will encompass 4LPs, 5CDs, and a DVD. Like the Ride The Lightning update, Kill ‘Em All will provide a hard bound book, as well as a mini book for lyrics, and a poster set.
The CDs offer the original album, a previously unreleased set of interviews and radio spots related to the album, a third CD filled with rough mixes from the sessions and the Whiplash remix EP, a CD with a previously unreleased live set from J Bees Rock III in Middletown, NY in 1984, and the fifth CD with a previously unreleased live set from The Keystone in Palo Alto, CA in 1983.
The LPs provide the original album on one LP, a previously unreleased live performance from Espace Balard in Paris, France from 1984, spread out over 2LPs, and a 3-track picture disc (one studio, 2 live) titled Jump In The Fire.
The DVD presents the mostly unreleased live set from The Metro in Chicago in 1983.
Kill ‘Em All, the classic debut by Metallica, will be reissued in the Deluxe Edition 4LP/5CD/DVD Box, as well as original title on LP, and original title on CD. It’s scheduled on the same date as Ride The Lightning.
