Welcome to Paradise: Green Day's 'Dookie' Set for 30th Anniversary Box

Those with warm, unsoiled memories of the '90s pop-punk explosion won't have any reason to dump on a newly-announced box set edition of Green Day's breakthrough album Dookie, released ahead of the album's 30th anniversary next year.

The 4CD or 6LP edition, coming out September 29, features the original album alongside a collection of unreleased demos and rare outtakes, plus two live sets: the trio's infamous, mud-soaked performance at Woodstock '94 (released on vinyl for the album's 25th anniversary in 2019) and an unheard performance from just a month before in Barcelona, Spain. The boxes also have an assortment of extra collectibles; the CD box includes two stickers, five buttons, a magnet and an air freshener, while the vinyl offers the buttons, air freshener, more stickers and magnets, a paper airplane, a coloring book lithograph insert, a poster and even Dookie dog pop bags. (The band's official web store will also sell a color variant of the box with each disc pressed on - you guessed it - different brown shades of vinyl.)

It's a fitting tribute to one of the best-selling albums of the decade, from one of the least likely candidates to hold that honor. Singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool came up in the Bay Area punk scene, issuing albums and EPs on the Lookout! label, who'd distributed works by Operation Ivy. Their irreverent energy and raw sound attracted the attention of producer Rob Cavallo, son of record exec Bob Cavallo (a longtime manager for Prince and others). He secured Green Day a deal with Reprise Records, which got them banned from 924 Gilman Street, the Berkeley club that made them stars of the scene.

What they lost in indie cred, though, they gained with Dookie, a down and dirty album assembled in three weeks and boasting a cadre of unbeatable, hook-filled songs like "Longview," "Welcome to Paradise," "Basket Case" and the Top 10 hit "When I Come Around." With '90s rock about to hit a major transitional period with the maturation of grunge and the death of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain that same year, Dookie was an unbelievable success, selling an estimated 20 million copies around the world. Green Day would only continue their success into the '90s and '00s, becoming the only punk act in music history to turn a lauded, critically and commercially successful concept album about post-9/11 America into a similarly successful Broadway musical. (The stage version of American Idiot finally afforded a home for "When It's Time," a long-gestating song available in demo form on this box set.)

    I don't care about the extras. I just want the original album remastered, that's it. Green Day should release one disc remasters of all their 90s albums. Forget all the extra junk.

    Good, even great, record, but they are no Muffs...if it weren't for the Muffs' similar but superior 1993 debut, you would have never heard this album at all...same label, same producer, similar but superior style & songwriting by the late great Kim Shattuck...I know it's not fair to knock Green Day because they are no Muffs, but I cannot help it, they came first & GD outsold em, so on principle, I have to knock GD, even though their sound and songs are good, if slightly derivative, Ramones/Kinks hybrids...I may get this Dookie box regardless, I just wonder if the back cover photo holding up the Ernie puppet/doll was restored...if I get this, I may get the Nimrod box too...
