METALLICA - No Life 'Til Leather - Early Demos 1982-1983 - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

Released in France, in a run of 500 copies, the album gathers the contents of three legendary demo tapes ("No Life 'Til Leather", "Power Metal" and "Megaforce Demo") professionally recorded in the studio and released/handed out on cassettes by the band (mainly in the line-up James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, Ron McGovney and Lars Ulrich + Cliff Burton on two recordings from the third demo) between the spring of 1982 and the spring of 1983. The running time of the record did not allow for one recording to be included, namely the version of "Hit The Lights" known to fans, released as early as 1982 by the Metal Blade label on the legendary compilation "Metal Massacre". The quality of this 52-minute and many times reissued material FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY (apart from the cassette tape released a few years ago on Record Store Day by the band) is perfect - 80% of the record sounds like a catalogue, somewhat raw-produced, studio album! Importantly - on this occasion the tape speed was corrected, the hiss removed and the sound brightened! And here you can clearly hear how very talented and how immensely powerful this band was! The laminated, very attractive cover contains several rare, nice photographs of the then teenage band! An absolute must! Condition: MINT (NEW, UNSEALED).
