1. Enter Sandman (Demo)

Obviously Not Produced
Recorded by James & Lars on August 13, 1990 in Lars' basement

2. The Unforgiven (Demo)

Obviously Not Produced
Recorded on October 4, 1990 at Bayview Studios, Richmond, CA

"couple of firsts on this demo: 1) Lyrics! 2) First time we played it as a group together in the same place. We were still perfecting our recording technique - obvious from Jaymz' vocals. Kinda has that folksy family feeling."

3. Nothing Else Matters (Demo)

Obviously Not Produced
Recorded by James & Lars on August 13, 1990 in Lars' basement

"Just like all of our prvious demos, this was recorded by Lars and James and, of all the demos we did, this is probably the closest the demo ended up being to the final album version in terms of arrangement and overall 'togetherness' (minus a 40-piece orchestra)."

4. Wherever I May Roam (Demo)

Recorded by on August 13, 1990 in Lars' basement

"One of our earliest demos, this track is distinguished by the fact that we all knew the song had to be called "Wherever I May Roam" 'cause those were the only lyrics James had worked out! This is a typical example of how we work, with James [bad word] up with the vocal melodies and the rest of us having to continuously suffer through hearing about something or somebody named Wa-na-na... Once again, the only two Metallicas present were James and Lars... which means it's James playing the guitar 'solo'."

5. Sad But [bad word] 

Recorded by on August 13, 1990 in Lars' basement

"This is the 5th installment of demo versions we/you wish you had never heard... and guess what? We're all out of clever/stupid liner notes. N.B! Same credits as all the previous [bad word] .. i.e. Jaymz - rhythm guitar, "vocals," and guitar "solo." Lars - [bad word]  Kirk & Jason - day off!!!"
