That weekend, staff at Shades had spent a couple of hours placing copies of the album in plastic bags, complete with pre-printed till receipts, just to be prepared for the anticipated Monday morning rush.
The studio recording is played slightly lower than the rest of the album, at A435.The previous week, Shades had taken delivery of 1,000 copies of Metallica’s third album, Master Of Puppets, from the band’s UK record label Music For Nations, and the label had bullishly predicted that the shop might want to increase its order to satisfy their expected demand for the record. Master of Puppets has a riff after the solo that was inspired by (maybe) Andy Warhol, by the late David Bowie. Master of Puppets has a mistake in the solo, and Kirk Hammett liked it. The sound of the entire Master of Puppets album is pretty much some combination of the Boogie and Marshall." - Kirk Hammett Boogie made those heads for a short time in the mid-Eighties, but nothing they've made has since captured that particular sound. It had everything to do with buying our first Mesa/Boogie Mark II-C heads. "A lot of people think I came into my own on that song. This can easily be detected when listening to a live version of "Master of Puppets", as James' guitar is playing in the left speaker and Kirk's guitar is playing in the right speaker. However, during the two harmonic solos, James plays the lower harmony while Kirk plays the higher harmony. 
The first solo of "Master of Puppets" is played by James, even though he is the rhythm guitarist and vocalist, while Kirk Hammett, the lead guitarist, plays the rhythm during the first solo. "Master of Puppets" ranked #51 in Guitar World's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos. (Please note this is according to available setlists from ) As of September 2019, "Master of Puppets" has been played 1645 times live, making it the most played song live by Metallica, and one of the nine songs to be played live over 1000 times along with " Creeping Death", " Seek & Destroy", " One", " For Whom The Bell Tolls", " Enter Sandman", " Sad But True", " Fade To Black", and " Nothing Else Matters". "Master of Puppets" was played live for the first time on December 31, 1985, in San Francisco, CA. Death also plays a big role in the song, as it does in the rest of the songs on the album. Some examples in the song are: "You're dedicated to how I'm killing you", referring to drug addiction and how the person can't stop taking the drug, or "I'm your source of self-destruction", meaning that one kills himself by taking drugs. Keeping the theme of powerlessness and manipulation in the album, "Master of Puppets" is about drugs and the effect of it on you.
