METALLICA / メタリカ / LOAD (REMASTERED EXPANDED EDITION) / CD

今回のMETALLICAリマスター・コレクションはBob Rockがプロデュースした『Load』。

「Until It Sleeps」「Hero of the Day」「King Nothing」といったファンに人気の高いナンバーに加え、製造上の制約により当初は編集されていた「The Outlaw Torn」のオリジナル・エクステンデッド・バージョンを、史上初となる完全収録。

リマスターはLurssen MasteringのReuben Cohenが担当し、エグゼクティブ・プロデューサーのGreg Fidelmanが監修。

この3枚組CDのエクスパンデッド・エディションには、新たにリマスターされたアルバムの3枚組CDに41曲に加え、未発表曲、デモ、ラフミックス、ワールドツアーのライブ音源などを収録。

CDはエンボス加工が施されたデジパック仕様で、36ページのブックレットが付属します。
