Green Day To Release “Demastered” Edition Of “Dookie” Across 15 Formats

Green Day will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of “Dookie” with a “demastered” version of the album. The odd re-release will find the record spread out across 15 random formats including a Teddy Ruxpin bear, a doorbell, a Big Mouth Billy Bass, a Game Boy cartridge, a toothbrush, and more. Fans interested in getting one of the unique items can sign up for a drawing at dookiedemastered.com.

The following was said about the campaign:

“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.

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.

The result is ‘Dookie Demastered’: the album that exploded the format of punk rock, re-exploded onto 15 obscure, obsolete, and otherwise inconvenient formats, the way it was never meant to be heard.”
