To mark the 20th anniversary of the original release, the Deluxe edition of ‘rattlesnakes’ will be released on October 4th around the world ex-North America. Capitol are supposedly releasing it in N. America, but I have no date for this. The packaging is consistent with Universal’s deluxe series (see The Velvet underground etc) and is priced at full double price GB15 or 16. The band have supervised the remastering and choice of extra material. I have heard the remastered disc and it it, in fact, much better (than the existing CD) and much more in line with what we intended with the original vinyl cut.
