MÖTLEY CRÜE GOES BACK TO THE DOCTOR
9/17/24

Mötley Crüe fans have an upcoming appointment with the Doctor—Dr. Feelgood, that is.

The Angeleno rock icons have raided their archives to create a 35th anniversary boxed set version of that classic album, which arrives 11/22 via BMG. The collection utilizes the 6x-platinum original as the foundation for a veritable shopping mall of metal mania, including EPs of demos and live tracks, a poster, a photo book, a guitar pick, a patch, a replica handbill, a replica tour itinerary and, of course, a "medical envelope"… to remind fans to take their vitamins.

Crüe’s members may need to double up on those supplements ahead of a series of underplays on the Sunset Strip on 10/7 at the Troubadour, 10/9 at the Roxy and 10/11 at the Whiskey a Go Go. The band—Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and newest member John 5—will also host a charity dinner at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on 10/8, with proceeds benefiting Covenant House.

The Feelgood box will also be available in a deluxe streaming version and six different vinyl configurations (one unique color each for independent retailers, Walmart, Target, Amazon and Urban Outfitters, as well as standard black vinyl). Walmart also has an exclusive CD with 3D lenticular art. All variants feature reimagined cover art showing 35 years of decay.

And if there’s one thing HITS knows about, it’s years of decay.
