Metallica has spent the last few years since reclaiming the rights to their masters reissuing their entire catalogue indeluxe editions with remixing and new mastering. Next up in the serie is The $5.98 EP – Garage Days Re-Revisited, to be made available in stores on April 13 in time to celebrate Record Store Day. The long-out-of-print EP included five songs that were later released as a part of the “Garage, Inc.” double album. Now back in the original format straight from 1987, watch the trailer below!

Keeping with the ’80s theme, the remastered EP will not only be released as a CD and download, but also as several vinyl versions including a picture disc, as a cassette, and in a longbox (you youngsters can search the web for that term!). All Metallica.com pre-orders will receive an instant-grat single of the remastered version of ‘The Wait’.
