Green Day are releasing Dookie in fifteen … unusual … formats. The full press release is below.
When an album hits a big milestone like its 30th anniversary, it gets the usual remasters on the usual formats. But Dookie isn't a usual album. That’s why Green Day and BRAIN collaborated to create DOOKIE DEMASTERED: the album that exploded the format of punk rock, re-exploded onto 15 obscure, obsolete, and otherwise inconvenient limited-edition formats, now available for purchase. Instead of smoothing out its edges and tweaking its dynamic ranges, this version of Dookie has been meticulously mangled to fit on formats with uncompromisingly low fidelity, from wax cylinders to answering machines to toothbrushes. The listening experience is unparalleled, sacrificing not only sonic quality, but also convenience, and occasionally entire verses. It’s Dookie, the way it was never meant to be heard. All 15 formats can be played at dookiedemastered.com. Enter the drawing for your chance to buy one. Drawing ends on Friday, October 11th at 8AM PT/11AM ET. DOOKIE DEMASTERED comes on the heels of Green Day’s massive sold-out Saviors Tour, which hit stadiums worldwide this summer. The band played Dookie and American Idiot in full, along with cuts from their latest album Saviors, and the tour received widespread critical praise.
