Metallica: And Justice For All... (180-gram Double-LP)

[Edward Yawn]

Last year Metallica's first four albums were remastered for vinyl and released in a special box set with each album included as a Double-LP. Each LP was pressed on 180-gram vinyl. This limited edition box set is no longer available and there were only 5000 copies made.

A while back I saw Metallica's "And Justice For All..." album in a record store as a brand new double-LP, so I bought it. Upon closer inspection it turned out the LPs were 180-gram pressings and Metallica's website link had been printed in the album credits. This leads me to believe that this edition of "Justice..." was part of the remastered vinyl box set and that it was sold seperately. I doubt Metallica had a website in 1988, so this is definitely a new edition.

Anyways, check out these pictures:

Then how do you explain Metallica's website link on the album sleeve? Metallica did not have a website until 1998 or so.

Is yours also a 180-gram pressing?

I still believe this was part of the vinyl box set. They would not have pressed this album on 180-gram vinyl in 1988.

There is also a CD remaster of "Justice..." which was released in 2003. It is an unofficial and unannounced remaster so it does not say anywhere in the album credits that it was remastered.

It does not say, but I weighed the LPs, they are 180 grams each. Even on the remastered CD version of "Justice..." which was released in 2003, it does not say anywhere that it is a remaster. It was an unofficial and unannounced remaster. If you want to be 100% sure you get the remastered vinyl version of "Justice...", there is only one thing to do: to buy the limited edition vinyl box set which was released last year.

I think youre pretty freaky with this vinyl shit. Can I interest you in the very rare 'the good,the bad.."box, got it stashed in my basement!!

Also, on the disc's inner ring at the bottom, it says "A Universal Music Company", a tip-off that it's not a 1988 pressing.
