Metallica – Live Metal Up Your Ass

this needs a digital and cassette reissue, like no life til leather got.

my copy has white labels, exactly like photos, from USA
i GOT ANOTHER COPY, NO LABELS, WHITE CASSETTE, surely a dub

I have another version of this cassette. Bought in 1982 in Brussels. Slightly different K7 cover, recorded on a TDK D60 tape. Content is the same: same tracklist, same line-up mention, same concert dare, same Metallibanger info.

My copy is just a solid white cassette no labels. Does anyone have copy like this?

from some cassette i own, and some extra opinion from people living that era, it seems the band was actually dubbing and selling its own demo tape stuff, sometimes a double cassette of both live and demo, and trading or giving to the radio, so inlay, that was printed black and white on copier, was changing quality. But many came from the band, from megaforce records too, from fans. Age of the cassette and stickers on cassette can help to put a value to the cassette. The older, and stickered, the better

100% BOOTLEG! I personally lived in SF back in 84-86, worked in a local tape Store, and WE PRINTED THEM ON PHOTOCOPIERS! We cut up music mag's photos and names of bands on paper the size of tape cases, taped them down, printed them on bw copiers and cut them to size, and placed them inside the case! I DID IT BACK IN MY YOUNGERS DAYS AND KNOW WHO ALL DID THIS IN MY CIRCLE OF COLLECTORS BACK THEN!!!!

If this is a bootleg, why is it listed on discogs? I thought they had to be official releases.

QuietOne, I don't understand then. It was made by Metallus Maximus Music, Metallica has reissued No life till leather" the past couple of years so they did originally make some of them I presume and then they were Bootlegged after that? Or did they just make the "no Life till leather' and the "Metal up your Ass" was bootleged?

I used to own this exact tape. One of my best friends who introduced me to Metallica back in early 1984 before ride the Lightning came out gave it to me. He was a Metallica fan before they cut Kill'em All, and made me one too. He was totally into the underground metal scene. Anyhow, it is not a bootleg, it is a live show the the band recorded and then put out, just like 'No life till leather" I had a perfect copy, the J card was Mint- and the tape? a great crappy recording in SF.. I didn't know what I had and I let someone borrow it and they never gave it back. that was 30 years ago. I've kicked myself a number of times, I don't know how many were made but it could not have been much. Only problem I see with these now is with a good small printing press, you could copy it quite easy. So Do you know if it's real if you see one? This one looks old but that's about all you have to go on.

Can you share some stories about this?
Where did you get it etc.
