Friday, 09 November 2012
Written by Catherine Rea
Californian rock icons, Rage Against The Machine are set to release a special box set to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the release of their self-title debut album.
The reissue, “Rage Against The Machine - XX” will be released on November 26th of this year and will host a remastered version of the album and previously unseen footage alongside a film of their 2010 concert in Finsbury Park.
Forming in 1991, RATM created their rock-rap musical alliance alongside their politically-charged debut album, originally released in November 1992. Selling millions of copies around the world while attaining a legendary status among their alternative-rock fans, their newly remastered release will be available in three configurations.
The first will be a 10th Anniversary Edition Deluxe Box Set, consisting of two CDs, two DVDsm one 12” vinyl EP and a 40 page booklet and double sided poster. The second will feature two CDs and a bonus DVD featuring six tracks in an oversized softpack and the third will include a single compact disk with three bonus tracks, a 12” vinyl edition and a picture disk with a reproduction of the original EP.
