About the Song
Garage Inc. is a part-studio, part-compilation album by the American heavy metal band Metallica, composed entirely of cover songs. Released as a double album on November 24, 1998, the first disc features new studio recordings, while the second includes previously released covers, such as B-sides and the entire Garage Days Re-Revisited EP (1987). Some of the material had been heavily bootlegged since their original releases, so the band decided to compile them in one package for accessibility. Sessions for the new covers took place over three weeks from September to October 1998 with producer Bob Rock.
