Metallica are streaming previously unreleased live audio of “Damage, Inc.” from their 1986-87 tour in support of “Master Of Puppets” as the latest preview to the November 10 release of a series of reissues of their album classic.
A performance of the thrash metal track was captured live during a January 25, 1987 show at Grugahalle in Essen, West Germany.
The unreleased recording is featured on the 2017 expanded editions of “Master Of Puppets”, including a 3-CD set that presents the remastered album, a disc that is a combination of rough mixes, demos and an interview, and a third disc featuring a mix of live songs that are sequenced into a typical set list from the Damage, Inc. tour.
A limited-edition deluxe box set includes “unreleased demos, rough mixes, interviews and live tracks, many of which have never even been available in the collector or bootleg community and were pulled from our personal collections,” says the band. “There’s also a 108-page hardcover book with rare and never before seen photos and essays from those who were there with us for the wild ride.
“All in all, there are three LPs, ten CDs, a cassette, two DVDs, a lithograph with art by Pushead, a folder with handwritten lyrics, and if that isn’t enough to push you over the edge, we’ve also thrown in a set of six buttons (!).”
The remastered project will also be available on CD, vinyl and digital.
Metallica are currently in the final week of live dates for 2017 as they tour in support of their latest album, “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct.”
