It's GREEN!!!

Yes, folks — it’s true.

Metallica’s 1988 album …And Justice for All will be available on green vinyl starting this Thursday, June 23 from 1 p.m. PT.

Only 1,000 of these albums were pressed and 500 copies will be sold to members of The Metallica Club at Metallica.com and 500 copies will be sold to the public at BecauseSoundMatters.com.

…And Justice for All was originally released on August 25, 1988 (my 12th birthday) through Elektra Records. It was the band’s first studio LP to feature Jason Newsted, who replaced the group’s late bassist Cliff Burton.

The album has sold over 8 million copies in the U.S. alone, according to the RIAA and was the best-selling Metallica record upon its release.
