The review

Again, an excellent choice for a release from The Godfather Records...but they use these shit Mp3's to mass produce.  The recordings are wonderful early soundboard documents from Metallica.  And the energy captured!...wow. 

I have to recommend this set for those Metallica collectors out there.  The superb wallet-style sleeve is very desirable and the first half of the disc doesn't suffer the high shrill of Mp3 quite as bad as the San Francisco portion.  Plenty of highlights abound here, these are essential documents of the "Cliff years".
