Metallica joining iTunes (Napster bad… iTunes good…)

Beginning on Tuesday, the band put up four of its records — “Kill ‘Em All,” “Ride The Lightning,” “Master of Puppets” and “…And Justice For All” — for sale on U.S. and Canadian versions of the popular online music retailer.

Fans may buy tracks a la carte for 99 cents or purchase the albums, starting at $9.90.

In a posting on the group’s Web site, the band acknowledged that fans have been increasingly buying music online and said it added some previously unreleased live tracks recorded in Seattle in 1989 to each of the albums to entice those who already own copies.

A Metallica song is still worth 99 cents? Well, the band has always been ambitious.
