       Notes:  This is THE first-ever recording by Metallica!
               Back in March 1982, Metallica had been jamming
               on some old Diamond Head tunes for some time 
               aswell as a couple of their own original songs 
               and decided to make their first recording 
               attempt. They had decked-out Ron's garage for 
               the jams (practice sessions) and decided to 
               hang Ron's old Panasonic tape-recorder from 
               one of the rafters to do the job. 
               They used that to record 6 songs and this is 
               the result. I'm happy to say that this is the 
               actual tape that was in that tape-recorder.
               Please note that James Hetfield only sings on
               this recording and plays no guitars, you'll 
               notice that there is no rhythm guitar during 
               the guitar solos played by Dave Mustaine.
               NB. The drop-outs on Sucking My Love and Helpless
               are from the original recording process and are
               NOT tape deterioration.
