The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited was the first recording to feature Jason Newsted. The tracks on the EP was rehearsed in Lars Ulrich's garage and later recorded in a new studio the band had constructed. The official United States CD release amended the title (and the price) to The $9.98 CD..., while other countries (such as Australia) still displayed The $5.98 E.P. with a sticker stating that this was the title and not the price.

Though The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited has been out of print for many years and is considered a collector's item, all five tracks were later included on the 1998 double-album Garage Inc.. The cover of the CD also was used as a basis for the Garage Inc. back cover, which showed the members as of 1998.
