from their own website:

While we're finishing up the new album, we told the dudes at the record company we thought it might be cool to dust off the old tapes and get all retro with some vinyl re-releases... First up are the first two albums (duh!?), "Kill 'Em All" and "Ride the Lightning", coming out on April 15 in North America and pretty fucking close to that in the rest of the world.
There will be two versions...one like the original on a single disc spinning at 33 1/3, the other a two disc, 180 gram vinyl, 45 rpm package all in a double gatefold. The music was half speed mastered from the original analog tapes at Mobile Fidelity to bring you audiophile quality.

Both versions will be available in the online store here and over at Met Club. Oh, and in case you were wondering, "Master" and "Justice" will obviously be next and should be coming out on vinyl in June.


that is just fucking cool

    They are undeserving of my money, I feel guilty for even owning anything by them.

    wait is this one of those "Metallica was the only act that had the legal clout and money to actually go after file sharers so all of their records suddenly suck" things? because that's like saying Michael Jackson molests kids so the bassline in Want you back is no longer awesome. or are you just trying to be a smartass and coming up short?

    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    They were just the biggest whiny bitches about it. That and their last few records are a steaming pile of dogshit.

    they are re-releasing stuff on vinyl, that is cool, since I don't have any records of them and don't want to shell out 1000 bucks getting them on ebay

    Master Of Puppets and Ride the Lightning remasterd and re-released on vinyl is COOL


    lets not get into the greedy band bullshit all big acts are greedy in ways, how much was that special edition ames book Oh yeah

    As soon as someone encodes them as MP3s:

    I AM GOING TO DOWNLOAD THESE!
    (and seed them for months)


    Just out of spite.

    Isn't this something like the 4th or 5th time these albums have been issued on vinyl?

    Lol, why? they are gonna lose the quality being compressed making them just as good as any other mp3's of them currently out there, a bit time consuming and pointless dont you think?

    it's an empty gesture really.

    but an empty gesture out of spite has more meaning than a regular empty gesture. haha
