Detroit duo Insane Clown Posse exist in many minds as a broad-based punchline, which is kind of a shame. Despite the goofy, shlocky nature of their music and image, like something out of a nightmarish, coulrophobic slasher film, the hatchet-wielding, Faygo-spraying antics of Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J have sold millions of records and endeared the group to their loyal blue-collar fanbase of Juggalos. (The controversy they’ve drummed up still continues, with a protest march on Washington, D.C. planned this month in response to the FBI’s unfair classification of Juggalos as an organized gang, as opposed to a working-class segment of enthusiastic music lovers.)

This month, UMe helped commemorate one of the group’s most memorable albums with a 2CD/1DVD expansion of The Great Milenko, the duo’s 1997 effort. In keeping with ICP’s mythology, the album is part of a deck of “Joker’s Cards” that illustrate “The Dark Carnival,” a villainous circus that warns about the evils of society like racism, sexism and abuse. With track titles like “Piggy Pie,” “Boogie Woogie Wu,” “Down with the Clown” and “The Neden Game,” it might sound a little ridiculous–but it’s certainly undeserving of more than some minor controversy over lyrical content.

And indeed it was: Milenko was the band’s first release on Hollywood Records, after preceding LP The Riddle Box marked their major label debut on Jive Records. But within a day of release, The Walt Disney Company (Hollywood’s parent company) caved to pressure and took the album off the shelves. Undeterred, ICP signed with Island Records and watched as the album hit the Billboard 200 (their first of eight to do so) and was certified platinum.

Two decades later, The Great Milenko is now available as a deluxe edition pairing the remastered album with a bonus disc of rarities (curated by Violent J, the disc includes five unreleased outtakes and a new track, “Black Blizzard”) as well as a DVD featuring the out-of-print longform feature Shockumentary.

This reissue is available now. Full specs and Amazon links are below!
