Today marks the deluxe reissue of Metallica’s 1988 disc, …And Justice For All, their first album following the death of bassist Cliff Burton. Subscribers of Apple Music and Spotify can stream it below.
The reissue comes on the album’s 30th anniversary, and includes a variety of different physical and digital editions that include previously unreleased demos, videos, interviews, and photos. The deluxe box set, for example, includes the remastered double 180g LP, a “One” picture disc, three LPs featuring the band’s performance from Seattle in 1989, remixed by Greg Fidelman, 11 CDs, four DVDs, a set of four patches, a Pushead print, a tour laminate, lyric sheets, a download card for all material in the set, and a deluxe 120-page book with never-before-seen photos and never-before told stories. Got all that? Good.

The Independent shared an excerpt from the reissue’s liner notes. In it, the record’s assistant mixing engineer, Toby Wright, reflects on the album’s creation. “‘The Shortest Straw’ sticks out in my mind because I think it was the first time that Lars ever sang background vocals,” he writes. “It was quite fun to track him and listen to his interpretation of how it should be. Everybody was really trying very hard to absolutely do their best. There seemed to be a lot of love between James and Lars. It was a lot of fun to be a part of that world for that period of time. Jason was new; it was his first recording with the band. When it was his turn to step up to the plate, he and I would work together.”
