20 anni di Rage Against the Machine: la band ripubblica l’edizione speciale dell’album di debutto

I Rage Against The Machine pubblicheranno presto uno speciale box set atto a celebrare il 20esimo anniversario dell’uscita del loro album di debutto omonimo.
‘Rage Against The Machine – XX’ è il Deluxe Box Set che uscirà il prossimo 27 Novembre che conterrà una versione rimasterizzata del primo album, con l’aggiunta di alcune demo mai ascoltate prima ed alcuni stralci live estratti dal loro concerto del 2010 a Finsbury Park, oltre al diario di bordo scritto da Chuck D. dei Public Enemy.
Diverse sono le versioni in cui questo speciale box set sarà disponibile:
– Deluxe Box Set: due CD, due DVD, un vinile 180gm 12″, un booklet di 40 pagine e due poster
– Special Edition: due CD, un bonus DVD con 6 tracce
– Single CD Version: due CD con 3 bonus track

Il primo CD nel box set include l’album originale assieme ad alcune b-sides, mentre il CD due conterrà alcune demo tape dei Rage Against The Machine, che vennero registrate nel 1991 e vendute dalla band a 5 dollari durante i loro primi concerti.
Il primo DVD come detto mostrerà diverso materiale live estratto dal concerto di Finsbury Park, che fu organizzato per ringraziare i fan per aver fatto raggiungere la posizione #1 della UK Singles Chart durante il periodo Natalizio. Oltre a questo, sempre nel primo DVD, vi saranno videoclip ed altre live clips. Nel secondo DVD, invece, vi sarà un documentario sulla prima esibizione pubblica della band.
