The $5.98 E.P. Garage days re-revisited
A small 5 track EP to introduce Jason to the fans. Containing only cover songs Metallica did at the start of their career. In england the first print had only 4 tracks so it could be included in the single charts.

Some CD editions are called "The $9.98 CD. Garage..." instead of the original title "The $5.98 E.P. Garage...". In Canada the sticker explained why the 12" sells for more than $5.98, as the Canadian Dollar is worth less than the US Dollar.

It was soon deleted and became a hard to get item for many fans, so many bootleg CD copies excist. all songs are now available on Garage Inc.
