FAQ

What does “New & factory sealed” mean?
The record is unplayed and still in the manufacturer’s original shrink wrap, so it carries no Goldmine grade.

Is this the original pressing?
No. Garage Inc. came out in 1998. This is the 2015 EU reissue on Universal on three 180g LPs.

What is the “Garage Days” EP?
Metallica recorded “The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited” in a garage in 1987 as their first release with bassist Jason Newsted. Its five tracks are on side D here.
