METALLICA has announced plans to reissue its first five albums internationally. Colored vinyl editions of 1983's "Kill 'Em All", 1984's "Ride The Lightning", 1986's "Master Of Puppets", 1988's "…And Justice For All" and 1991's "Metallica" will begin to hit shelves in November 2023, but check stores in your region for available pre-orders.
METALLICA says: "If this series of colored vinyl looks familiar to you, that's because it was previously available in the United States through a collaboration with Walmart in January 2021. At long last, our first five albums in beautiful colored pressings are making their way to international stores!"
