Our take on the Metallica Master of Puppets (Target Exclusive) (Vinyl)

Master of Puppets is Metallica's 1986 third album and the last with bassist Cliff Burton. It is the record that made them a headline act, with eight tracks of tight thrash riffing and long instrumental passages. This Target exclusive pressing is the same album in a store-specific vinyl edition. It suits metal fans building a collection and listeners who want the album on a physical format. Against the band's other 1980s records, it is heavier and more ambitious than Ride the Lightning and more focused than ...And Justice for All.
