Metallica: Metal Up Your Ass (Reissue)

Before Kill 'Em All, there was Metal Up Your Ass. The title Metallica originally intended for their 1983 debut was shelved by their label, but the name lived on as the banner for some of the most sought-after bootleg material in heavy metal history.

This unofficial reissue collects the July 1982 No Life 'Til Leather demo recordings, captured at Chateau East Studio in Tustin, California, alongside early compilation tracks. Raw, ferocious, and historically significant, this is Metallica before the world knew who they were.
