Mötley Crüe have announced a 35th anniversary box set and vinyl reissues of their seminal 1989 album Dr. Feelgood. The various formats arrive November 22nd.
The box set will be available in both vinyl and CD formats. Disc 1 features a remastered version of the original album, while Discs 2 and 3 contain a Demos EP and Live EP, respectively, each running five tracks.
The collection includes other ephemera such as a 24-page book of never-before-seen life and behind-the-scenes photos; a 18×24-inch re-imagined album art poster; a replica backstage pass and show handbill; a patch; guitar pick; and a press kit folder that houses the original 1989 press release, press photo, and 16-page tour itinerary.
Numerous retailers will also be stocking specific single LP vinyl variants, each with re-imagined cover art showing “35 years of decay.” The variants are as follows: an exclusive colorway for independent retailers; an Amazon-exclusive picture disc; a Walmart-exclusive color LP with 3D Lenticular cover art (also available on CD); a Target-exclusive Zoetrope vinyl; an Urban Outfitters-exclusive colorway; and standard black vinyl.
Dr. Feelgood stands as Mötley Crüe best-selling album and arguably their most critically lauded. It boasted five successful singles — including the hits “Dr. Feelgood,” “Kickstart My Heart,” and “Same Ol’ Situation (S.O.S)” — and cemented the Crüe’s place as one of the defining hard rock bands of 1980s.
Mötley Crüe are still going strong to this day, with a new EP — their first release with guitarist John 5 — set to drop on October 4th. They also have a few US live gigs left in 2024, including festival appearances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock (get tickets here).
