The $5.98 EP: Garage Days Re-Revisited, presented here as the remastered CD, is Metallica's 1987 covers EP, a scrappy, joyful blast recorded as the band broke in new bassist Jason Newsted.

After the loss of Cliff Burton, the band needed to get back in a room and play. Rather than rush a new album, they returned to the songs they had grown up on, mostly from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and punk, and banged them out with deliberately rough production. The cheeky title and handmade feel were a reaction against the overly polished metal of the day.

Helpless and The Small Hours pay tribute to Diamond Head and Holocaust, two bands that shaped Metallica's early sound. The Wait takes on Killing Joke with a heavy, grinding approach, and the closing Misfits medley of Last Caress / Green Hell is a short, sharp punk burst to finish.

This remastered version keeps that raw garage energy intact while bringing out more punch in Newsted's bass and Lars Ulrich's drums. The EP sat out of print for years after its original run, which only added to its legend among collectors.

Short, loud and fun, it is the sound of a band rediscovering exactly why they started playing together in the first place.
