Garage Inc. is a compilation by American heavy metal band Metallica, released in 1998. (See 1998 in music). It includes newly recorded cover versions of other artists' songs, all of their b-side covers released up to that point, and the entire Garage Days Re-Revisited EP, which had gone out of print since its original release in 1987. The title is a portmanteau of Garage Days Re-Revisited and their song Damage, Inc.
