Guns N’ Roses Announce Epic ‘Use Your Illusion I & II’ 12LP Box Set

Guns N’ Roses have announced they will be releasing a new collectable box set of Use Your Illusion I & II. Set for release on November 11, the same day as the original release in 1991, the ‘super deluxe’ set will feature 97 tracks in total with 63 of them unreleased. 

All of the tracks will be completely re-mastered for the sets and will include live versions, alongside older hits such as Welcome To The Jungle and Sweet Child O’Mine. Among the bonus tracks is a 2022 version of November Rain, with orchestration by Christopher Lennertz. 

Two of the albums in the ‘super deluxe’ pack are re-masters of live concerts in both New York in 1991 and Last Vegas in 1992, and contain the majority of the never before released material.

Also in the pack will be a 100-page book featuring never before seen photos of the band, UYI tour replica cloth sticky backstage passes, Ritz Theatre 5/16/1991 replica concert ticket (with misprinted date of 5/15/1991), Conspiracy Inc replica fan club folder with membership card and Conspiracy Inc 1991/1992 UYI-era replica fan club newsletters.

Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Use Your Illusion I + II’ CD boxset 

Fans who choose to purchase the ‘super deluxe’ set can decide between two formats; ’12LP + Blue Ray’ or ‘7CD + Blue Ray’. For fans who don’t want to go down the collectable path, LP and CD versions of the remastered tracks will be available for purchase.
