Somehow, in a development that defies reason, Green Day’s brilliant, juvenile pop-punk blockbuster Dookie will reach its 30th anniversary early next year. The band is celebrating the way formerly young rock stars often do: with a box set.
Out at the end of September, the 6xLP, 4xCD Dookie deluxe will include two distinct collections of demos, 4-Track Demos and Cassette Demos. You also get an EP’s worth of outtakes and full live recordings of two shows, the band’s Woodstock ’94 set and a previously unreleased Barcelona concert recording from June 5, 1994. UPDATE: And you get liner notes by the great Bob Mehr.
Today they’ve graced us with the full 10-song 4-Track Demos disc, in case you’re wondering what Dookie would sound like if it was an actual punk record. (I’m just playing, Billie Joe!) The “Basket Case” lyrics were quite different. Listen below and check out the tracklist, which acknowledges the existence of secret track “All By Myself,” for shame.
