Description
Up for bids is the Big Kahuna of Metal albums.
The is the 1st release of the Metal Massacre metal compilation series & the 1st pressing of this release. It is also the 1st LP released by Metal Blade as well as the 1st Metallica track ever to appear on vinyl !!!
See more specifics below as to what makes this record so special.
This is an original first pressing of the "Metal Massacre" compilation. It was released in 1982 and is the first release on the Metal Blade label (MBR 1001). Perhaps even more notably, it contains the very first release EVER from Metallica. This first pressing starts off with "Cold Day in Hell" by Steeler and also features the song "Tell the World" by Ratt - both songs are omitted from later re-pressings. The album closes with "Hit the Lights" (originally by James Hetfield's previous band, Leather Charm) by Metallica - misspelled here as "Mettallica"(!). Later re-pressings of the record have a re-recorded version of "Hit the Lights" with Dave Mustaine playing the lead guitar parts instead of Lloyd Grant (Hetfield was unhappy with Grant's playing on the original version), so this first pressing of the first Metal Massacre is the only place to get the actual first Metallica release!
