If we start with the vinyl… you get the newly remastered album on a single 180g vinyl record alongside a 2LP vinyl set of Live at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago from 1986. The latter is 140g.

Of the ten CDs…one is obviously the remastered album. This box also delivers three CDs of rough mixes, riffs, demos and outtakes. That’s 50 tracks worth – remember Master Of Puppets is just an eight-track album! There is a further four CDs of previously unreleased soundboard live recordings (all from late ’86 / early ’87) one of which includes Jason Newsted’s audition (after bass player Cliff Burton was tragically killed in a bus accident on the promotional tour for Master Of Puppets). The last two CDs contain interviews with the band, many of which feature Cliff.

The cassette tape carries unique content, in this case a fan recording of Live at Solnahallen in Stockholm from 26 September 1986. There is a download code provided for this.

The two DVDs deliver tons of video of live performance and some interviews for good measure and the hardcover book is 108-pages with rare and the usual never-before-seen photos and essays. The lyric folder is quite nice too, as you will see if you watch the video above.
