Soundgarden have gone all out for the 25th anniversary edition of their 1991 album, “Badmotorfinger“. Due out on November 18th via UMe/A&M Records, the top tier edition box edition format will feature a staggering 109 tracks. I’ll let the official press release take it from here:
“The limited edition 7-disc Super Deluxe Edition consists of 4 CDs, 2 DVDs, and 1 Blu-ray Audio disc with 109 tracks total: 79 tracks, videos & mixes are previously unreleased. The CD audio content includes the original album newly remastered; 15 previously unreleased studio outtakes newly mixed from the original analog multi-tracks plus the track “New Damage” featuring Brian May from Queen; and “Live at the Paramount“: Soundgarden‘s first-ever complete concert album newly mixed from the original analog multi-tracks and recorded at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle on March 6,1992.
The band’s first complete concert video features Live at the Paramount on DVD, newly edited from the original camera masters and newly mixed in 5.1 surround sound and stereo from the original analog multi-tracks. The second DVD is Motorvision + More: Soundgarden‘s 1992 Motorvision home video, released on DVD for the first time ever, showcases live selections from the two nights shot at the Paramount Theatre in March 1992 along with interviews from the band and friends.
Bonus videos include 11 unreleased archival live performances from various shows and festivals in 1992 and the three official music videos from the album. The Blu-ray Audio disc contains the original Badmotorfinger album, three B-sides, and the three official music videos, newly mixed from original analog multi-tracks in audiophile 96kHz 24-bit 5.1 surround sound. The original album and three B-sides feature newly designed visuals directed by Josh Graham.
The Super Deluxe version also includes a revolving Badmotorfinger icon ultimate collector’s box (batteries included) that features a 52-page book with a 25th anniversary silver foil Badmotorfinger icon cover, newly designed art, unreleased photos, and commemorative testimonials from fellow musicians and peers.
The package also contains a 12″x12″ 3D Badmotorfinger silver foil icon lenticular, four 8″x10″ photo cards featuring each band member, a 5″ Badmotorfinger silver foil icon sticker, a 4″ triangular spark plug silver foil sticker, and a 5″ newly designed 25th anniversary Badmotorfinger icon iron-on patch.

The anniversary celebration continues with a 28 track 2-CD Deluxe Edition, featuring the remastered original album on Disc 1; eight studio outtakes, “New Damage (with Brian May),” and seven tracks from Live at the Paramount on Disc 2. Also available, is a 1CD remastered edition with enhanced art converting the original plastic jewel case into a gatefold softpak with the original six-panel folder design included.
