Encyclopedia Metallica

One
The first real hit for Metallica, and also the first video. It has "The prince" as B-side in the US, while some tracks recorded live in Dallas February 1989 ended on the European releases. There are just too many different versions. You can collect for years and still miss some items. Look out for the picture disc and vinyl 7" promos with covers.
