Diener wrote, "We think they were making some kind of seven-inch with this unreleased cover and it was interchang with our song. Which means Metallica's test pressing might have a Swellers song on it...These test pressings will probably be worth a load of money. We have two and we are exactly keeping them. We're technically doing a split (single) with Metallica."Metallica has not announced plans to release the "Iron Man" cover in any format.
