Green Day / Dookie (30th anniversary)
Green Day’s third studio album Dookie is reissued for its 30th anniversary (somewhat early, it was released in Feb 1994). 4CD and 6LP super deluxe editions offer unreleased demos, the 1994 Woodstock performance, studio outtakes and a Barcelona club show (unreleased). Lots of ‘stuff’ in the box sets including in the vinyl one a “Doggie poop bag” (surely a first – and hopefully last – for super deluxe edition). There’s indie-only coloured vinyl editions of the 6LP box and the standard single vinyl remaster is pressed on “baby blue” vinyl.
