• 2014 Edition (2008 Remaster)
  
• Black Vinyl LP

Widely hailed as the #1 greatest heavy metal album of all time, Master of Puppets is where Metallica perfected their thrash formula—melding raw aggression, complex arrangements, and apocalyptic precision.

Originally released on March 3, 1986, through Elektra Records, this landmark album became the band’s first to go Platinum, eventually racking up over 10 million copies sold worldwide and earning 6× Platinum status in the U.S. alone. It was the last album to feature bassist Cliff Burton, whose influence looms large across the record's crushing weight and melodic depth.

This is the 2008 remaster, pressed to vinyl in 2014—bringing new clarity to classics like “Battery,” “Welcome Home (Sanitarium),” and the iconic title track.

In 2016, Master of Puppets became the first metal album ever inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry, honored as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

A cornerstone of heavy music. No collection is complete without it.
