UMe collects Guns N' Roses' twin 1991 albums on a new super deluxe box that spans seven CDs or 12 LPs and a Blu-ray. Both boxes include new remasters of Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, plus two complete live sets, newly mixed from the original multi-track tapes: a "warm-up" gig at The Ritz in New York, some four months before the albums dropped, and a later show from the accompanying tour recorded in Las Vegas in January 1992. (By this point, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin had departed, and Gilby Clarke took his place.) The Ritz show, also captured on 35 millimeter film and recently digitized in 4K Ultra HD, will feature on the Blu-ray with stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos audio mix options. A folio of new and replica swag is also included, from photo prints to replicas of fan club newsletters, backstage passes and ticket stubs, as is a 100-page book of liner notes and memorabilia.  There are also 2CD versions with tracks that do not appear on the box, and 1CD or 2LP original album remasters.  Note the caveat that all versions of "November Rain" have been replaced with a new mix by Steven Wilson featuring a 50-piece orchestra under the direction of composer Christopher Lennertz replacing the synth orchestra patches of the original track.
