Encyclopedia Metallica

Enter sandman
First single from the black album with a cover as black as the album. Note that some 12" maxi singles have the demo version of "Holier than thou", one of only two tracks exclusive to vinyl. This Work in progress version has unfinished vocals and intro and was recorded in Lars basement in June 1991. "Stone cold crazy" and a demo version of "Enter sandman" is also included on the discs.

A nice item is the picture disc CD single box set. This box was designed to hold the next three picture singles, "The unforgiven", "Nothing else matters" and "Wherever i may roam". When all four singles are put in the box they spell out "Metallica".
