About this release
Metallica's last demo with the original Hetfield/Ulrich/Mustaine/McGovney line-up. Recorded live at the Old Waldorf club on 29 November, 1982, a date with the support band Exodus featuring one Kirk Hammett.
Recorded on a boom box set up in front of the speakers, and released under the company title "Metallus Maximus Music". The Diamond Head cover The Prince was also played that night, but was not captured because the tape ran out.
This was Ron McGovney's second to last performance as a member of Metallica, and when the tape was released, Cliff Burton was listed as the band's bassist, but with the mention that he didn't actually play on this recording.
Thanks to Metalbaswee for the addition and Pekka for the updates
