Description
Metallica’s “The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited,” released on August 21, 1987, is a notable extended play (EP) in the band’s discography. This EP, catalog ID 60757-1, was released under Elektra Records in a 12” vinyl format and stands out for its collection of cover songs. The EP was designed to introduce and “break-in” their new bassist, Jason Newsted, following the tragic death of their previous bassist, Cliff Burton. The title of the EP reflects its initial retail price for the vinyl version, while the subtitle “Garage Days Re-Revisited” alludes to the B-side of their earlier “Creeping Death” single. This EP is significant for its raw and energetic approach, characterized by a collection of covers that pay homage to influential bands in the metal genre. The tracklist includes covers of songs from bands like Diamond Head, Holocaust, Killing Joke, Budgie, and Misfits. The lineup for this recording featured James Hetfield on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Kirk Hammett on lead guitar, Jason Newsted on bass and backing vocals, and Lars Ulrich on drums.
