Guns N’ Roses will release multiple expanded reissues of their 1987 album debut, “Appetite For Destruction”, on June 29.
The 4CD/7LP “Appetite For Destruction: Locked N' Loaded” box set will feature 73 total songs including 49 previously unreleased tunes while presenting a remastered version of the original record (presented across 2LPs) and a Blu-ray audio disc with new 5.1 surround sound mixes alongside the band’s 1986 EP "Live ?!*@ Like A Suicide", a second EP containing B-sides from the era, 25 previously unreleased recordings from the band's 1986 sessions at Sound City studios, and two previously unreleased tracks from their recording sessions with producer Mike Clink.
The expanded package also includes a 96-page handbound book with unreleased photos from Axl Rose's personal archive, 12 new illustration lithos visualizing each song from the album, seven 7” singles and replica band memorabilia from the era.
A 4CD/1Blu-ray Super Deluxe Edition also includes the 96-page book featuring unreleased photos from Axl Rose's personal archive; a Deluxe Edition will be available as a two-CD set or as a double LP pressed on 180-gram vinyl, as will a single CD version featuring the remastered album.
The reissues are being previewed with a series of unboxing videos and a lyric video for the unreleased track, “Shadow Of Your Love”, recorded with Mike Clink during the 1986 Sound City sessions.
Three decades after its release, “Appetite For Destruction” remains the biggest-selling debut album of all time with more than 30 million copies sold worldwide.
The project delivered three US Top 10 singles: “Welcome To The Jungle”, “Paradise City” and the band's first and only US No. 1 hit, “Sweet Child o’ Mine.”
“Appetite For Destruction: Locked N' Loaded” arrives during Guns N’ Roses' summer tour of Europe – which will begin in Berlin, Germany on June 3 – and on the same day the band headlines the Download Festival in Madrid, Spain.
