Green Day will mark the 25th anniversary of their 1997 album Nimrod — which featured the hits “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” and “Nice Guys Finish Last” — with a deluxe reissue complete with unreleased demos and a live recording from the era.
Nimrod 25 – 25th Anniversary Edition, available Jan. 27 in 5-CD or 3-LP editions, features the original LP alongside a disc of demos from the album’s recording sessions, including three songs — “You Irritate Me,” “Tre Polka” and a cover of Elvis Costello’s “Alison” — that have never been released.
Ahead of the reissue’s arrival, Green Day have shared the “You Irritate Me” demo:
The reissue’s closing disc captures Green Day’s November 14, 1997, performance at Philadelphia’s Electric Factory, a concert that boasted both the then-new Nimrod tracks as well as the band’s hits from Dookie and Insomniac.
Nimrod 25 – 25th Anniversary Edition — and newly reprinted merch from the era — is available to preorder now at Green Day’s site.
