The pop quintet's 1999 blockbuster Millennium will be celebrated for its belated 25th anniversary with a new 2CD, 2LP and digital set that pairs the original album with a baker's dozen rare and unreleased tracks, including B-sides, demos, live cuts, and the new track "Hey." The album will be out July 11 (yes, roughly five months from its Valentine's Day announcement), to time with the group's summer residency at the Sphere venue in Las Vegas. Beyond "Hey," the bonus material includes four B-sides from the album's European singles, six live tracks from a 2000 set at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis (three of which are released for the first time) and two exciting rarities from the vault: a demo of fan favorite (what else?) "The Perfect Fan" and, for the first time, the original version of "I Want It That Way" with dramatically different lyrics. The album packaging also features the group recreating the original album's white-attired front cover in a new photoshoot. As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
