Legendary band Green Day are celebrating three decades of one of the most influential albums of all time, Dookie, with an anniversary deluxe edition, coming September 29.
As part of this blockbuster collection, the California trio celebrate their landmark 10x platinum, diamond-certified GRAMMY® Award-winning third full-length offering and major label debut by unveiling previously unreleased 4-track and cassette demos, outtakes, and two seminal live recordings: “Live At Woodstock (1994)”—available for the first time on DSPs—and the previously unreleased “Live In Barcelona (June 5 ’94).”
The record houses signature generational anthems “Basket Case,” “When I Come Around,” “Welcome To Paradise,” and “Longview,” among others.
Dookie 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition will be available everywhere digitally as well as a limited-edition 6-LP vinyl box set and 4-CD box set. Plus, a special version of the 6-LP vinyl box set will only be available on the band’s web store and at indie record stores with each record pressed on a different shade of brown vinyl.
Loaded to the brim with collector’s items, the vinyl box set boasts a roll of Dookie dog poop bags, five-button set, air freshener, postcard, bumper sticker, kiss-cut large magnet sheet, paper airplane, a black-and-white “coloring page” cover litho insert, and a poster of the alternate cover art. The CD box set consists of two stickers, the five-button set, air freshener, and single soft vinyl magnet. Both box set versions feature a heartfelt personal intro penned by producer Rob Cavallo and extensive liner notes from Bob Mehr.
Dookie’s influence remains downright inescapable. It has sold a staggering 20 million copies worldwide and stands out as “the first punk album to be certified Diamond by the RIAA for North American sales in excess of 10 million.” Out of four 1995 GRAMMY® Award nominations, it notably garnered “Best Alternative Album.” Speaking to its sustained impact, it has generated billions of streams to date.
