==Reissues==
In July 2004, [[Capitol Records]] released a remixed and remastered version of the album with four bonus tracks. The remixed edition was a part of the band's reissued catalog during their tenure at Capitol. Dave Mustaine himself was in charge during the remixing process.<ref>{{cite web|first=Chris|last=Ayers|title=Megadeth: Remixed and Remastered Series|url=http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Metal/megadeth-remixed_remastered_series|work=[[Exclaim!]]|date=March 2005|access-date=September 30, 2013|archive-date=September 4, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200904105101/http://exclaim.ca/music/article/megadeth-remixed_remastered_series|url-status=live}}</ref> In June 2006, two [[audiophile]] remasters of the album were released; an [[Ultradisc]] II Gold CD version by the [[Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab]], and a 180 gram vinyl 2LP version, both mixed by Mustaine.<ref>{{cite news|title=Megadeth: 'Countdown To Extinction' Reissue To Include Bonus Tracks|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/megadeth-countdown-to-extinction-reissue-to-include-bonus-tracks/|work=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=May 1, 2006|access-date=October 1, 2013|archive-date=October 4, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004221130/http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/megadeth-countdown-to-extinction-reissue-to-include-bonus-tracks/|url-status=live}}</ref> A 20th anniversary edition was released on November 6, 2012.
