June 29th: It's the Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction" 73-track box set.
If the highly professional-looking unboxing video that leaked last night is any indication, Guns N’ Roses are about to announce a deluxe "Locked N' Loaded" reissue of their debut album Appetite for Destruction.
The clip, which has since been deleted, listed a June 29 release date for the 73-track box set, which includes 29 previously unreleased songs, to be presented across four CDs, a Blu-ray and seven vinyl discs. You can see the deleted video -- which was copied by a fan -- below. That date lines up with a recently posted Amazon listing and fan-shot photos of billboards promoting the new album.
Triple-M in Australia also reported that the lead single, the previously unreleased “Shadow of Your Love,” will be streaming tomorrow.
According to the video -- which has not been officially released or commented on by the band or its representatives -- the 1987 album has been remastered from the original tapes and pressed across two LPs in a foil sleeve, with the fourth side carrying a hologram. The Blu-ray disc offers new 5.1 surround sound mixes. The 1986 album Live Like a Suicide appears on one LP, while another contains B-sides.Other discs contain 25 tracks from the 1986 Sound City studio sessions and two recorded with producer Mike Clink. In all, 49 recordings are previously unreleased.

"Locked N' Loaded" includes everything in the Super Deluxe Edition plus the music on seven 180-gram LPs. Housed in an embossed faux leather and wood cabinet with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, it adds a handmade 3-D cross, USB stick with high-resolution audio, lithos detailing the lyrics to all 12 songs, a second wall poster and many more goodies. It lists for $999 and is limited to 10,000 copies worldwide.
