Black Sabbath And Metallica To Release Limited Vinyl Disc On Record Store Day
By Travis Woods
In over-the-hill hard rock news: The Quietus reports that Black Sabbath and Metallica will be teaming up to release a limited edition (only 1,000 copies) split picture disc on April 17th, otherwise known as Record Store Day.
The vinyl disc, which will displays the band’s respective logos on either side, is set to feature an alternate version of Sabbath’s “Paranoid” (different lyrics), while Side 2 will feature Metallica’s “Frantic” as remixed by UNKLE. As only 1,000 copies of the record will be made available, it’s sure to become a collector’s item, though I’m going to assume that it’s the Black Sabbath side of the disc that’ll be moving units, rather than the already-available remix of one of Metallica’s worst songs from their undeniably worst album.
Still, it’s pretty cool to support vinyl. That said, did you know that you can (looks over both shoulders, lowers voice) download that soggy remix track… for free? For serious! It doesn’t cost a thing! And you won’t feel dumb for splurging on a disc you’ll only listen to once! I’m telling you (drum stick hurled by Lars Ulrich embeds itself in the wall next us)… er, go ahead and check out the vinyl, I’m, um, I’m sure it’s fantastic.
What do you think about the split disc?
