cassette

This year Metallica decided to celebrate Record Store Day with their friends at independent retail by taking a huge leap back in time to their humble beginnings with that little rectangle of plastic known as the “demo tape”. In 1982 Metallica recorded seven songs that became their initial calling card known as “No Life 'til Leather” which led the band to their first record deal... the rest, as you some of you may know, is history! On Record Store Day, April 18th, 2015 that demo tape will be available as a limited edition cassette (yes, cassette!!) at your favorite neighborhood record store and Metallica.com.
