"Following Cliff Burton's death, Metallica took some time off and initiated new bassist Jason Newsted with a raw, unpolished EP of covers originally recorded by Diamond Head, Holocaust, Killing Joke, Budgie, and the Misfits. Most fit the band's style quite well; only "Last Caress" sounds out of place, as the original seemed looser and more dangerous. As a showcase for some strong metal riffs and material by mostly underground bands, the EP works quite well".

"De fem sange, der endte på 'Garage Days Re-revisited' er af bands som Diamond Head, Holocaust, Killing Joke, Budgie og Misfits. Bands, som Metallica selv var blevet inspireret af. Indspilningerne tog kun seks dage. Den officielle titel blev 'The $5.98 E.P. Garage Days Re-revisited' for at undgå, at butikkerne tog overpris og prissatte den som en fuldlængdeudgivelse. Den udkom 21. august 1987 og har ikke været genoptrykt siden 1989 ... For dem, der ikke var så heldige at få en CD-longbox fra USA dengang, så er det nu muligt at få den hjem i reolen uden at skulle tømme bankkontoen. En fest for samlerne og bandets mest dedikerede fans".
