For its 25th anniversary, A&M/UMe are pulling out all the stops with a four-disc CD/DVD/Blu-ray deluxe edition of the 1991 grunge classic, due out September 30. It features:
- A new mix of the album by longtime Pearl Jam associate Brendan O'Brien, plus three alternate mixes from the original multitracks by Adam Kaspar
- Seven demos (including unheard songs "Angel of Fire" and "Black Cat" plus five newly mixed outtakes by Adam Kaspar
- A DVD featuring many of the band's most notable performances, including a "rehearsal" show at Seattle's Off Ramp Cafe, while the album was being recorded; the "Hunger Strike" music video; fan-shot footage of the band's reunion at the PJ20 festival in 2011 (combined with professional audio of the show) and Seattle's Benaroya Hall in 2015
- A Blu-ray featuring a 5.1 surround mix by Kaspar, who mixed Soundgarden's Superunknown into 5.1; the "Hunger Strike" video in 5.1; plus HD stereo versions of O'Brien's mix and select HD bonus video
This set will be marked by the band's first real tour, a sold-out affair across five cities in November. Double-disc, CD and vinyl editions are available, too!
