(1985) Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? (1986) Alternative cover 2002 remastered edition cover Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! is the debut album by the American heavy metal band Megadeth. It was originally released in June 1985 through Combat Records. The album received positive reviews, even from mainstream music critics.[1] The deluxe edition, completely remixed and remastered and featuring a new cover and several bonus tracks, was released by Loud Records in 2002. The album's artwork, featuring a plastic skull with tinfoil, was not intended to be the original artwork. Both guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine and bassist Dave Ellefson had many phone conversation with Combat records to get the cover artwork properly reproduced from a sketch given to them by Mustaine of a picture of Megadeth mascot Vic Rattlehead on the cover. However the studio lost the artwork, and instead made their own and improvised the low-budget replacement, which Mustaine and the whole band were mortified with.[1] "These Boots" was on the original pressing of the album, but removed from subsequent pressings due to legal issues with the song's writer, Lee Hazlewood. It was later added onto the 2002 remaster, albeit with edit beeps everywhere a lyric change was made. On June 4, 2009, a newly available Limited Edition of the album was released in Digipack LP Miniature CD. The CD itself is made to look like a mini LP and is pressed on black plastic with grooves on the top to imitate a LP [2], this version has the original cover which was lost and "These Boots" was removed again.

"Blood & Honor" was changed to "Wake Up Dead" with different lyrics which appeared on Megadeth's next album, Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?. "These Boots" is a cover (with lyrics that parody the original) of the Nancy Sinatra song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". Lee Hazlewood, the original author, deemed Mustaine's changes to be "vile and offensive" and demanded that he remove the song. The cover of the song was removed from all pressings of the album released after 1995. The 2002 release partially includes the song, with all of the lyrics that were changed from Hazlewood's version censored with a beep. In the deluxe edition liner notes, Mustaine is strongly critical of Hazlewood, as he had been paid royalties for 10 years before he objected.

(July 2010) The opening instrumental, "Last Rites", is based on J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565.[citation needed] Thrash metal band Austrian Death Machine covered the song "Killing Is My Business...and Business Is Good!" on the second disc of the album Double Brutal.
