  1. Elektra USA 1989, edit & album versions with green disc (PR 8099)



"...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL", promo 12":

  1. Elektra/Speciality USA 1988, white label test press with plain sleeve (ST-ED-5396)
    Notes;
    Fairly common for a test press, some copies were sent out to radio stations, approx 200 - 250 copies
  2. Elektra USA 1988, edit & album versions with elektra sleeve (ED 5396)

  3. Vertigo England 1988, three tracks with unique sleeve, individually numbered (METDJ 212)
    NOTES;
    # - - - - 6 location unknown (pictured, lowest known number with a different numbering set up!!) **
    #000019 located in England, owned by Hector
    #000020 located in England, owned by Chris
    #000021 located in England, owned by Hector
    #000437 located in England, owned by Hector (pictured)
    Track list is the same as the "Harvester Of Sorrow" single
    The full title is "..And Justice For All - Metallipromo" and each original copy is numbered
    For a long time it was thought there were 400 copies pressed, the recent discovery (03/05) of #000437 & 000445 obviously means that more were made than initially thought
    ** - When the numbers were originally stamped onto the cover the first few were stamped differently - this didn`t look so good so they changed it at some point between the 6th copy and the 15th copy, this copy is the only copy with this different numbering scheme to surface so far, #000015 is numbered like the normal copies
    Matrix detail on original; METAL 212 A/B - 1U - 1 - 1
    Matrix detail on bootleg; METALP212A & METAL212B, bootleg matrix is crudely scratched into the vinyl

    Bootleg Copy;

  4. "Vertigo" "England", bootleg copy England promo, made in Germany late `90`s & not numbered (METDJ 212)
    Notes;
    Bootleg copies have the matrix# roughly scratched / handwritten into the vinyl, originals have much neater typeset lettering, at least some bootleg copies have plain white labels



...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL - METALLIPROMO, promo cassette

  1. Vertigo England 1988, promo cassette with unique cover (NO CAT#)
    Notes;
    Yeah i know i don`t collect tapes but this is one worth collecting as the track list & cover are unique
    Cover is similar to the `Metallipromo` 12" single and has four songs off the album;
    `Blackened` - `Harvester Of Sorrow` - `One` - `The Shortest Straw`
    Inner cover says `All tracks taken from the forthcoming Metallica opus; ...And Justice For All`
    Credits all songs as being written by `Hetfield/Ulrich` but `Blackened` was co-written by Newsted
