As you likely know by now, Metallica will be reissuing deluxe versions of their first two albums, Kill ‘Em All and Ride the Lightning, on April 15th. If you’re a true collector, you’ll want to shell out the $150 for them. The Kill ‘Em All box set includes four vinyl records, five CDs, one DVD, a hardcover book including rare photos and a patch while the deluxe numbered box set of Ride the Lightning includes four vinyl records, six CDs, one DVD, a hardcover book including more of those unseen photos, a mini-book of lyrics handwritten by James Hetfield and a set of three posters. The band have released the remastered (mastered!) version of “The Four Horsemen,” and maybe it’s just because we know that it’s been remastered (MASTERED!), but it sounds cleaner. Is it just us? Take a listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below. You can read the full track listings for both albums here.
