Metallica's first official studio release of "Am I Evil?" came in 1984 as part of the "Creeping Death" 12-inch single paired with another NWOBHM classic "Blitzkrieg", by the band of the same name. The two songs were also included in the first pressing of the "Kill 'Em All" LP when it was re-released by Elektra Records. A cover of "Helpless" was featured "The $5.98 E.P. - Garage Days Re-Revisited" in 1987 and "The Prince" was included as a B-side to the "One" single. The official recordings of "Am I Evil?", "Helpless" and "The Prince" would also be featured on Metallica's two-CD "Garage Inc." compilation, a collection of numerous cover songs that the band had played over the years. The first CD in the set was newly recorded covers, one of which was Diamond Head's "It's Electric".
