Metallica originally released the song as B-sides to the "Creeping Death" single in
November 1984 and on the 1988 re-issue of "Kill 'Em All" which was only available until 1991.
Why Metallica covered it for Garage Inc.:
Metallica just wanted to released several covers from the Diamond Head album "Lightning
To The Nations" because it was a passion for Lars and because Diamond Head became one of the

In 1981 Lars even roomed with Sean Harris and Brian Tatler from Diamond Head and sat in
on their writing sessions.
