REMASTERED 2002 DELUXE EDITION, INCL. 3 BONUS TR.
BONUSTRACKS: LAST RITES/LOVED TODETH (DEMO) MECHANIX (DEMO) THE SKULL BENEATH THE SKIN (DEMO)
Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good! is the debut album by American thrash metal band Megadeth. It was originally released in 1985 on Combat Records. The album received positive reviews, even from mainstream music critics.
The album's artwork, featuring a plastic skull with tinfoil, was not intended to be the original artwork. Mustaine wanted a picture of Megadeth mascot Vic Rattlehead on the cover, however the studio lost the artwork, so they improvised the low-budget replacement.
All songs written by Dave Mustaine, except where noted.
