Background

"The record company will argue that there are people who are into collecting different versions and shaped discs and shit, so why shouldn't we make it available to people who are interested in getting this stuff? Anyway, the idea of this box set crap came up and, well, we decided to go along with it."

- Lars Ulrich, 1990 ^[1]
