Hmm, kind of confusing. I thought I recall this song and Breadfan from earlier than 1998, and never bought Garage Inc. GI was from 1998 and included ‘The $5.98 EP - Garage Days Re-Revisited’ plus some new material. Garage Days Re-Revisited was originally released in 1987 and had another Diamond Head cover, Helpless. I think they kind of wanted a raw (garagey) production.
“Breadfan” and “The Prince” were originally released by Metallica in September 1988 as B-sides to the “Harvester of Sorrow” single. “Breadfan” was also included on the “Eye of the Beholder” single. “The Prince” was also the B-side to the “One” single, as well as the bonus track on the Japanese pressing of …And Justice For All."
Justice For All was great, of course. We’d listened to the preceding albums a ton and I remember when it was released. Then the Black album came and we were OH WOW NEW METALLICA then bought it and were kind of uh, what happened? It was, you know, okay, and I learned it all on guitar too, but not quite the same.
They definitely helped Diamond Head, Killing Joke and Budgie get some recognition! Also Queen, the Misfits and Motorhead (just kidding). And really the Metallica versions are much better imo since the Diamond Head singer was more of a high-pitched hard rock style vocalist.

Indeed, they were on AJFA imports and B sides to AJFA singles. They didn’t appear on a US album release until Garage, Inc. The post I responded to suggested that The Prince was on Garage Days, I was just clarifying that.
Edit: randomly, someone owed me some money in the mid 90s and gave me their Metallica “box set” of vinyl because they knew I liked Metallica. I have it downstairs otherwise I’d take a picture. Here it is on eBay:
I didn’t have a record player back then but it was great to have the early & Pushead artwork in big vinyl print. It has the Harvester of Sorrow single with The Prince as a B side.
