Megadeth's 1985 debut album Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good is coming back this June, and it's taking with it a ton of original content you've never heard before. The reissue is due out on June 8 and was remixed by Mark Lewis (Trivium, Death Angel, Devildriver, Whitechapel) and remastered by Ted Jensen. The reissue is titled Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good: The Final Kill and will feature previously unheard parts and performances throughout the record, including a missing drum performance found during the mixing sessions.
The reissue will also include seven live tracks restored from VHS tapes found in Mustaine's attic, as well as the band's 1984 original 3-track demo with the previously removed cover of Lee Hazlewood's "These Boots." The press release says the vocals were re-cut to stick true to the original, so I guess the reissue won't feature the other take of the cover?
