Rhino Records is celebrating Candlebox with a new box set titled The Maverick Years, set to arrive on September 22nd. The 7-LP vinyl collection features expanded editions of the band’s first three albums, as well as a compilation of previously unreleased tracks.

As previously reported, Candlebox will unveil their final LP, The Long Goodbye, on August 25th. They are currently in the midst of an extensive farewell tour supporting 3 Doors Down (tickets available here). The outing launched in June and runs through a September 23rd show in Houston, Texas. The two bands will then join up again on October 21st for 3 Doors Down’s “The Better Life Foundation Concert” in Cherokee, North Carolina.

With Candlebox set to call it a day with their final tour and album, the band is looking back to its past. The Maverick Years features remastered and expanded 2-LP vinyl versions of Candlebox (1993), Lucy (1995), and Happy Pills (1998). Each album contains bonus tracks, while an additional LP of unreleased material features a demo for “Happy Pills,” a remixed version of “Sometimes,” and the outtakes “Giant Steps” and “Dream,” among other tracks.

Candlebox hit it big with their 1993 self-titled debut. The LP has been certified four-times platinum, thanks to hits like “Far Beyond” and “You.” While the next two albums didn’t match the enormous success of the debut, Lucy and Happy Pills yielded the rock hits “Simple Lessons” and “It’s Alright,” respectively.
