Megadeth to celebrate 35 years of music with re-issue of Killing is my Business..and Business is Good!!


MEGADETH will celebrate the band’s 35th Anniversary with a deluxe re-issue of their revolutionary debut album, “Killing Is My Business…and Business Is Good!”.  Century Media and Legacy Recordings will put out a June 8, 2018 release in North America & Europe, and in Japan on June 6, 2018 via Sony Japan.

.
“Killing Is My Business…and Business Is Good – The Final Kill” has been restored.  Remixed by Mark Lewis and re-mastered by Ted Jensen.  The 2018 version reveals unheard parts and performances throughout the record, including a missing drum performance found during the mixing sessions. It will include the full original album, along with 7 live audio tracks from VHS tapes found in Dave Mustaine’s attic!

Besides the bonus tracks, the re-issue will also feature Megadeth’s 1984 3-track demo and the previously removed cover of “These Boots”, that has been added back to the record with recut vocals.
