Deluxe reissue of Rage Against The Machine debut due

Rage Against the Machine - XX, commemorative 20th anniversary editions of the band's eponymous debut album, will be released on Nov. 27 through Legacy/Sony Music. 

Originally released in November 1992, Rage Against the Machine's politically-charged songs were driven by Tom Morello's guitar wallop and vocalist Zack de la Rocha's bulletins from the front. The band became a critical and commercial success, selling millions around the world while attaining legendary status among alt-rock fans.

Newly remastered for this anniversary release, Rage Against the Machine - XX will be available as a CD in three configurations: 1) 20th Anniversary Edition Deluxe Box Set housing two CDs, two DVDs, one 12" 180gm vinyl LP, one 40 page booklet and two-sided poster; 2) 20th Anniversary Special Edition featuring two CDs and a bonus DVD featuring six tracks in an oversized softpack and 3) 20th Anniversary Edition single CD (with three bonus tracks). 12" 180 gram vinyl editions--a picture disc and a facsimile reproduction--of the original LP, remastered (no bonus tracks) will also be available.
 
CD 1 will include the original album, in its entirety, as well as three collectible b-sides from era.
 
CD 2 presents the original Rage Against the Machine demo tape. Recorded in 1991 and sold at the merch table at early Rage shows, the tape achieved mythical word-of-mouth status amongst music fans while helping to seal the band's deal with Epic Records. The 20th anniversary releases of Rage Against the Machine - XX marks the first time the entire RATM demo tapes have seen a full official release.
 
DVD 1 included in the Deluxe Box Set features Rage Against the Machine's free concert in Finsbury Park in June 2010, following "Killing in the Name" being a UK Number One single during Christmas week 2009. Also included are the band's groundbreaking music videos plus live concert performance clips.
 
DVD 2 focuses on live performance from 1991-1994, featuring the full set of RATM’s first public performance as well as various live, rare clips.
 
Rage Against the Machine - XX will include new liner notes penned for the band's 20th anniversary by longtime fan and hip-hop pioneer Chuck D. Full details are below...
