In recent years Metallica have delved back in to the catalogue of yesteryear, treating fans to sprawling new remastered packages for both Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning. The time has therefore come to give the absolute classic that is Master Of Puppets the same treatment. The actual scope on this release is in itself very impressive - rather than opting to reissue on just vinyl there are several different packages you will be able to pick this up, all of which released on 10th November.
- Standard LP
- Standard CD
- 3 CD Expanded Edition
- Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set and digitally as a Standard CD (available to stream and download)
- 3 CD Expanded Edition (available for download only)
- Digital Deluxe Box Set (available for streaming and download).
The Expanded Edition will include previously unreleased demos, rough mixes, interviews, live tracks, and a 28-page booklet. The Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set will include a 108-page hardcover book including never before seen photos, outtakes and previously unreleased interviews, three LPs, ten CDs, a cassette, two DVDs, a lithograph, a folder with handwritten lyrics, and a set of six buttons.
