METALLICA Is Teasing Deluxe Remastered Version Of '…And Justice For All' Album
METALLICA is teasing a deluxe remastered version of its "…And Justice For All" (1988) album. A short video clip of the reissue being manufactured has been posted to the band's official Twitter account along with the hashtag #comingsoon.
In addition to the original album and other rarities, the deluxe edition will apparently include a 1989 METALLICA concert in Seattle, recorded during the "…And Justice For All" tour.
While "...And Justice For All" is considered one of METALLICA's classics, it has been criticized almost since the day it was released in 1988 for the lack of any bass guitar on the record. Jason Newsted's playing is virtually buried in the mix — and many fans feel that drummer Lars Ulrich, who had very specific ideas for how he wanted his drums to sound, is to blame.
"...And Justice For All" was Jason Newsted's first full-length album with METALLICA after he replaced late bassist Cliff Burton in 1986.
The album was the first by the band to sell more than a million copies and featured their first radio hit, "One", which was also the basis of the group's first music video.
The record was nominated for the first-ever Grammy for "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance", but infamously lost to JETHRO TULL's "Crest Of A Knave".
In a 2015 interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com, one of the "...And Justice For All" album mixers, Steve Thompson, revealed that Ulrich was the culprit for the lack of any bass guitar on the record. Ulrich apparently wanted his drums to sound a certain way — even if it meant cutting out the bass.
Thompson explained: "We had to get the drum sound up the way he had it. I wasn't a fan of it. So now he goes, 'See the bass guitar?' and I said, 'Yeah, great part, man. [Newsted] killed it.' He said, 'I want you to bring down the bass where you can barely, audibly hear it in the mix.' I said, 'You're kidding. Right?' He said, 'No. Bring it down.' I bring it down to that level and he says, 'Now drop it down another 5 dB.' I turned around and looked at [guitarist/vocalist James] Hetfield and said, 'He's serious?' It just blew me away."
Thompson added that a terrific performance by Newsted was wasted due to Ulrich's meddling, saying: "My only regret is that we didn't have enough time to at least mix it the way we heard it… It was all there but I think they were looking for more garagey-type sound without bass. And the bass was great; it was perfect."
Thompson said that he spoke out because he was tired of being blamed for the lack of bass. He remarked: "They flew us out [to METALLICA's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction in 2009] and I'm sitting with Lars. He goes, 'Hey, what happened to the bass in 'Justice'?' He actually asked me that. I wanted to cold cock him right there. It was a shame because I'm the one getting the shit for the lack of bass."
Ulrich told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that fans were extremely vocal about the sound of the album at the time of its release. "I mean, it was unbelievable, you know, '...And Justice For All', " he said. "People were saying, 'That's the worst-sounding record, where's the bass, and it sounds like it was recorded in a garage, and...' But, you know, listen, you do the best you can in the moment and then you move on."

May need to see my banker for a loan on this one.
Kill 'em All = $150 retail (currently $119.83 at Amazon US) -5 CDs -3 vinyl LPs -1 vinyl picture disk -1 DVD
Ride the Lighting = $150 retail (currently $133.17 at Amazon US) -6 CDs -3 vinyl LPs -1 vinyl picture disk -1 DVD
Master of Puppets = $175 retail (currently $125.86 at Amazon US) -10 CDs -3 vinyl LPs -1 cassette tape -2 DVD
The 6 slabs of vinyl will definitely jack the price up. I'm guessing they keep the retail at $225 or less. If so, Amazon will probably have a price tag on it in the $150-$160 range.

Bump: Pre-order links have appeared at Amazon and can be found in the first post, along with all of the release details we have so far. No word yet on if the big box set is going to be a general release or an exclusive to the band's website.

Just some notes.
The 6 vinyl disks are:
-...And Justice For All double vinyl (as it was originally issued)
-One single picture disk (live version of Seek and Destroy is the B-side, original issue was a 10" single, no word yet if the version included in the big box will be a 10" or 12" picture disk)
-The Seattle show over 3 vinyl LPs
CD's are:
-...And Justice For All album
-1 disc of interviews
-2 discs of demos
-1 disc of rough mixes (probably as close as we'll get to hearing bass on these songs)
-6 discs of live material (unfortunately, only 1 complete show in all of this, May 24th 1988 at The Troubadour in West Hollywood. Breadfan, The Price and a few single edits are also jammed into these 6 discs)
DVD's:
Still not sure of where all the content is sourced from, but it looks like it may include 2 complete shows and Seattle may not be one of those shows (no video repeat from Binge and Purge)
Amazon Italy has a listing : 205.39 EURO = 238.61 USD but that's the initial price and, like always, it will drop by the release date (and maybe significantly). Even with the current sticker shock, I still anticipate being able to get it for under $180.
