Guns N’ Roses Announce Massive Use Your Illusion I & II Box Set
The post Guns N’ Roses Announce Massive Use Your Illusion I & II Box Set appeared first on Consequence.
Guns N’ Roses have unveiled a massive Use Your Illusion I & II box set featuring 96 songs, including 63 previously unreleased tracks. The collection arrives in numerous formats on November 11th.
GN’R released the companion Use Your Illusion albums nearly 31 years ago to the day on September 17th, 1991. At last, they’ve been combined into one comprehensive package and fully remastered for the first-time ever from 96kHz 24-bit digital transfers of the original 1/2-inch analog stereo masters.
The reissue comes in a variety of configurations: Super Deluxe 7-CD + Blu-ray; Super Deluxe 12-LP + Blu-ray; 4-LP with turntable slipmat; 2-CD Deluxe Editions of Use Your Illusion I & II separately; and standard 1-CD and 2-LP standalone versions of Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II. All versions will be available to stream and as digital downloads.
The Super Deluxe Edition is the real prize for diehard fans and collectors, and retails for $499.98. In addition to the original albums, previously unreleased concert recordings from a show in New York in 1991 and Las Vegas in 1992 are spread across eight 180-gram vinyl LPs (each being newly mixed from the original multi-track tapes). The included Blu-ray disc features the complete “Live in New York” concert film, freshly transferred from 35mm film prints to 4K UHD and presented in 1080p 24fps HD, in its entirety, along with audio mixed in Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround, and PCM 48kHz 24-bit stereo.
All this is housed along with a 100-page hardcover book of unreleased photos and archival documents, replica fan club ephemera, lithographs, band photo prints, replica backstage passes, replica concert tickets, and a GN’R poster.
The CD editions also have their own unique inclusions, the debut of “November Rain (2022 Version)” being the most notable. The new version features a real 50-piece orchestra for the first-time, conducted and arranged by Grammy winning composer Christopher Lennertz.
