I actually have AFD on vinyl with original artwork. Bought it in Germany in 1988.

The countdown is done!

Various packages are available. To me the most interesting is The Super Deluxe Edition and the Locked n' Loaded Edition.

This is what you get with the Super Deluxe Edition ($ 179):

The Appetite For Destruction: Super Deluxe Edition features 4CDs including the album newly remastered for the first time ever; B-sides N’ EPs newly remastered; the previously unreleased 1986 Sound City Session N’ More recordings; a Blu-ray Audio disc with the album, bonus tracks and music videos in brand new 5.1 surround sound along with the unearthed music video for “It’s So Easy” originally shot in 1989 but never finished; and a 96-page hardcover book showcasing unseen photos from Axl Rose’s personal archive and wealth of memorabilia. In addition, the Super Deluxe Edition contains collectables like never-before-seen band lithos, replica concert tickets, a wall poster, temporary band member tattoos , a Robert Williams painting litho, and a replica “Welcome To The Jungle” video shoot invite flyer originally drawn by Slash.

It’s So Easy – BRAND NEW VIDEO FROM 1989

I don't know about you guys, but I had hoped to hear some more unreleased stuff. I think I heard most or even all of it in some version down the road..

I agree. I guess there isn't much unreleased material from this period. Looking more forward to the Chinese Democracy Locked N' Loaded box in 2045.

Well I am looking forward to have it on cd; will probably get the 2cd version, this should include the stuff I want to hear more often. (If I need to listen to some demo for once, I guess I'll find it on the net...)

by **Johan** Wed May 23, 2018 1:33 pm

Cool to hear Shadow of your Love regularly on some radio channels though! Makes you think what actual new stuff might generate as a buzz..

Fine review. Except for the reviewer not getting the point about the original cover art.

Received an email from GN'R. My Super Deluxe Edition has been shipped. I should have it in a week or so.

I got my deluxe edition two days ago and just managed to unpack before leaving on vacation.
