Garbage announced a 20th anniversary edition of Version 2.0 will be released on June 22nd. The original material has been remastered for the release, plus the deluxe version adds an extra disc featuring 10 songs with B-sides from the era and more.
The anniversary edition will be released digitally and on a variety of physical formats: standard CD, deluxe 2CD, 2LP pressed on orange vinyl, and limited edition boxset with 3LP black vinyl and download code. So far, only the digital version of the release is available to pre-order in North America, but Garbage urge fans to check their website for updates.
Originally released in 1998, Garbage consider Version 2.0 to be one of their finest achievements:
Shirley Manson:
"Version 2.0 is in my opinion the quintessential garbage record. We are all very grateful to the millions of people who took it to their hearts at the time it was released and to those who continue to love on it still."
Butch Vig:
"Version 2.0 is the sound of a band growing up, evolving, and more than anything, gaining confidence. When we started recording, we made a conscious decision to not re-invent ourselves, but rather take everything we learned from our debut album and filter it through the new digital technology we were grappling with. Sonically, the album has moments of razor sharp clarity and soft beauty. Indeed, it’s possibly our best album."
