Motley Crue announces ‘Dr Feelgood’ 35th Anniversary deluxe box set

The set will include previously unreleased demos and live tracks

Motley Crue has announced a 35th anniversary edition of its seminal Dr. Feelgood album for November 22nd. The album stands as the last great rock record of the 1980s, and one of the greatest rock records of all time.

The band will commemorate the occasion with a limited edition box set available on CD and vinyl featuring a newly remastered version of the original album, rare demos, and live tracks.

The box set also features a 24-page replica tour book with never-before-seen and never-before-published live and behind-the-scenes photos, a replica Dr. Feelgood Tour itinerary, poster, patch, backstage pass, live show handbill, press kit, medical envelope, and guitar pick.

In addition to the box set, there will be a deluxe streaming version and six different configurations for vinyl fans: an indie retail exclusive color vinyl, a Walmart-exclusive color vinyl with 3D lenticular cover art, a Target-exclusive Zoetrope vinyl, an Amazon Exclusive Picture Disc Vinyl, an Urban Outfitters Exclusive Color Vinyl, as well as standard black vinyl. The  anniversary edition will also be available as Walmart-exclusive CD with 3D lenticular art, as well as a standard  CD. All variants feature reimagined cover art showing 35 years of decay.

Upon its release, the album topped the Billboard Top 200 and has been certified six times platinum. Includes the hit singles, “Kickstart My Heart,” “Dr. Feelgood,” “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away),” lWithout You,” and “Same Ol’ Situation (S.O.S.).”

With five massive hit singles that kept radio and MTV request lines busy, the Dr. Feelgood World Tour saw Motley Crue on the road and in the air on their own private jet for over two years. The first single, “Dr. Feelgood,” with its instantly memorable opening, catchy chorus, and gritty music video, set the tone by reaching the top 10 on the US Hot 100 singles chart. Originally a Top 30 hit upon release, “Kickstart My Heart” went on to become the band’s most popular landmark track. From the buzz saw intro to the cheating-death lyrics and music video shot in a rare return to a club show at the world-famous Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, it has now logged well over 1.5 billion streams and can be heard nearly every day in movies, commercials, video games and sporting events around the world.

The Hot 100 hits kept coming as “Without You” hit No. 8, “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)” reached No. 19, and final single “Same Ol’ Situation (S.O.S.)” was accompanied by an music video capturing the fan excitement of a live Crue show.
