Guns N’ Roses detail massive £850 ‘Appetite For Destruction: Locked N’ Loaded’ box set

Guns N’ Roses have announced they’re reissuing their seminal album ‘Appetite For Destruction’ in remastered and expanded formats.

After teasing fans with cryptic posters and a mysterious website all week, the legendary rockers have confirmed they’re issuing five separate versions of ‘Appetite For Destruction’ on Friday 29th June. You can pre-order them from their website now. 

They are a remastered CD costing £5.99, a 2CD deluxe edition (£12.99), a 2LP 180-gram audiophile vinyl edition (£27.99), a super deluxe edition (£149.99) and a Locked N’ Loaded Edition vinyl box set (£849.99).

Alongside the remastered album from the analogue tapes, the 2CD edition boasts selections of B-sides and EP tracks, and 7 unreleased recordings from the 1986 Sound City Session, “Move To The City (1988 Acoustic Version)” from the GN’R Lies session and “Shadow Of Your Love” from the November 1986 first ever recording session with the album’s producer Mike Clink.

The double vinyl edition features vinyl cut from 192kHz 24-bit remastered high-resolution audio, a download card Sticker for 44.1kHz 16-bit digital album, limited-edition foil art slipcase and a ‘Hologroove Hologram’ of the Guns N’ Roses logo on Side 4.
