Bonus tracks on the first Elektra Records pressing are:
"Am I Evil" (07:52) and "Blitzkrieg" (03:36), from the 1984 "Creeping Death" single.

Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), is a co-author of : The Four Horsemen, Jump in the Fire, Phantom Lord, Metal Militia.

Trivia: The title "Kill 'Em All" was what Cliff Burton said after the record company rejected the original "Metal Up Your Ass" cover. "Just fuckin' kill 'em all" were his exact words.

First title for the album was "Metal Up Your Ass" and had a different cover artwork (hand with a dagger sticking out from WC).

Original LP pressings had "Bang that head that doesn't bang" printed on the back of it. Also, the first few original CD pressings had it printed on the back.
