GREEN DAY TO RELEASE 30TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE OF DOOKIE
Green Day are to release a 30th anniversary reissue of their album ‘Dookie’.
The group – made up of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool – are to celebrate three decades of their 1994 record by dropping ‘Dookie (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)’.
The new edition will be available as a limited edition six-LP vinyl box set, a four-CD box set and also available digitally.
‘Dookie (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)’ will be released on September 29th, and will feature previously unreleased ‘Dookie’ demos, as well as live recordings ‘Live At Woodstock (1994)’ and ‘Live In Barcelona (June 5, 1994)’, which has never been released.
What’s more, Green Day fans with dogs might be pleased to hear the bumper box set also comes with ‘Dookie’ pooch poop bags, as well as air freshener, which could be useful after your four-legged friend has done their business.
Other items include a five-button set, a postcard, a bumper sticker, a magnet, a paper aeroplane, and a poster.
The band’s third studio album was initially released on February 1, 1994.
The music, which featured themes such as anxiety, relationships, sexuality and boredom, was mostly penned by frontman Billie.
Singles ‘Basket Case’, ‘When I Come Around’, ‘Longview’, ‘She’, and a re-recorded version of ‘Welcome to Paradise’, which was initially on the group’s ‘Kerplunk!’ album, all featured on ‘Dookie’.
In March, Yusuf/ Cat Stevens – who is also known as Yusuf Islam – revealed he wanted to collaborate with the band.
Asked if he’s in the loop with pop music nowadays, he told NME: “Not very much. I came from one of pop’s pinnacle eras when there’d be a new milestone every week, so I tend to listen to that period most.
“But I love Green Day because of their message. ‘Know Your Enemy’ is an incredible song with a message about the Iraq war that was right on time.”
Asked if he’d like to collaborate with the group, he replied: “Yeah! Wow, that’s a good idea. I think they listened to my song ‘Bitterblue’ before making ‘Know Your Enemy’, as I can hear little titbits of it in the chords and some of the words.
“I reckon we could definitely get it on.”
