The info I got before the release was that these would be something special, but they're not. The covers are in regular quality and the printing is bad. All covers have too much red and are too dark, except for the Master cover which is too light. Many details are lost in the design because of this, especially on Load.

The inner sleeves are OK, with good paper quality and print. Metallica.com is mentioned on all inner sleeves. This is how you can tell the difference between the re-release and a regular release. On Load there are some minor changes on the label, which is the only difference.

I was glad to see that they have used the original Metallica labels on all LPs, and that they are printed on 180-gram vinyl, but that's not so important after the first bad impression. If you are a die hard collector like me, you might want to pick these up. If you just want the albums on vinyl, go to a second hand shop and buy some earlier versions cheap. A good place to look for used and rare stuff online is Esprit.
