Originally released simultaneously in 1991, Guns N’ Roses has recently announced a deluxe box set for their highly-anticipated third and fourth studio albums Use Your Illusion I & II, set to release on November 11, 2022. This box set contains 97 tracks, 63 of which are still unreleased audio tracks and videos never before heard or seen by the public. Included are a number of yet unseen live performances from Guns N’ Roses shows from all over the globe, showcasing performances from New York, Paris, and Las Vegas. Furthermore, late Blind Melon singer and long-term friend of the members of the band Shannon Hoon, who originally sang the backup vocals on a variety of Guns N’ Roses hits including “Don’t Cry (Original)” and “You Ain’t the First” will be featured on select songs. In addition, two of the live concerts, specifically their 1991 performance at the Ritz Theatre, NY, and their 1992 performance at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, NV, included in this reissue will feature exclusive video content of Hoon singing the aforementioned “Don’t Cry,” a Top Ten hit branded by NPR as “one of the ultimate hard-rock power ballads,” with the band. This is the first time in music history that complete video and audio performance content from Guns N’ Roses Illusion has ever been released. With songs that have been remastered and mixed with multi-track tapes that rejuvenate and better the song’s original quality, a newly-released Blu-ray DVD of Guns N’ Roses complete concert film presenting their 1991 New York Performance at the Ritz Theatre.
In addition to these exclusive songs, buyers will receive a number of collectibles and a 100-pg book filled with unseen photos, memorabilia, and archival documents including replica cloth backstage passes, fan magazines, and vintage posters.
Preorder the box set from any of the websites listed here.
