Rare UK 7" blue vinyl 3 track 45 in tickered picture sleeve, by Metallica. The A side features '53rd & 3rd'. The B side has 'Outsider (by Green Day)' and 'I Wanna Be Sedated (by Offspring)'. 2003 UK single withdrawn from release. Mint condition.
Record collector Jan 2010: "This is the rarest Metallica record pressed in the UK. In 2002, Johnny Ramone asked Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett to get the band to contribute a track to the Happy Family tribute album. Metallica prefaced a secret gig (under the name Spun) in San Francisco on June 4th 2002 with 4 Ramones songs: Commando, Today your love tomorrow the world, Now I wanna sniff some glue and 53rd & 3rd. They recorded the last track in the studio for the tribute album. Typically, in the UK, Columbia thought they would cash in on Metallica's popularity by issuing it as a single in 2003, along with 2 other tracks by Green Day and Offspring. Metallica, or their management, stepped in to withdraw the single from release. This, then, is a mega-rarity and worth £300. We're unsure how many copies were pressed but, as they come up for sale so infrequently, there can't be that many." COLUMBIA GABBA 1.
