METALLICA, the All Within My Hands Foundation and its contributors commemorate Giving Tuesday with the launching of the pre-order for the limited-edition vinyl release of “Helping Hands… Live & Acoustic At The Masonic”. The double album, mixed by Greg Fidelman and newly mastered for vinyl by Reuben Cohen at Bernie Grundman Mastering, documents the inaugural “Helping Hands” benefit concert held in San Francisco on November 3.
“Helping Hands… Live & Acoustic At The Masonic” features rare acoustic renditions of hits and deep cuts spanning the METALLICA catalog (as well as covers of DEEP PURPLE, NAZARETH, BOB SEGER and BLUE ÖYSTER CULT classics), captured on 140-gram colored vinyl with proceeds donated to the band’s All Within My Hands Foundation. “Helping Hands… Live & Acoustic At The Masonic” continues AWMH’s mission to fight hunger and to assist in creating sustainable communities through workforce education.
The album will be available February 1, 2019 at independent and digital retail around the world, all streaming services that feature METALLICA’s music, and can be pre-ordered in the METALLICA store. All copies will include a download card.
