Metal Massacre

Closing out the week with Metal Blade Records most famous release perhaps. 'Metal Massacre'  was the compilation album that brought a little band called Metallica to the masses. Originally released in 82, the album featured bands, Steeler, Bitch, Malice, Ratt, Avatar, Cirith Ungol, Demon Flight, Pandemonium, and Metallica, who were actually listed as Mettallica incorrectly. The track "Hit The Lights" was the bands first real recording and featured Lloyd Grant on Guitar. The album was reissued again in 84, this time with some slight tweeks. The Ratt track was omitted and the Steeler track was replaced by Black 'N Blue. In addition "Hit The Lights" was reworked and now featured Dave Mustaine on lead Guitar. Up for sampling is the 2nd pressing of the album. Nice slice of the early days of Heavy Metal.
