WI M.D. - Jerry Gavin A while ago a certain Elektra Promoman came by with a copy of the new Metallica LP. I like many other M.D. s around the country, was skeptical about what I was about to hear, but after I listened to Fade To Black I knew Elektra had something there. Lo and behold Fade to Black , after about five weeks of airplay, tests in the 80 s 18-30 adult and in the 90 s 30-35 men. Don t let the name Metallica scare you off.
