Linkin Park: Meteora 20th Anniversary Edition Deluxe & Super Deluxe Box Set

___________________________

The alternative metal band Linkin Park achieved a breakthrough in 2000 with HYBRID THEORY, which sold over 10 million copies. After a remix album, the band came back with their mixture of hard rock and rap with full force three years after their debut with METEORA. Led by the intense interplay of singers Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda, the album features 13 tightly woven tracks, including MTV and radio favorites like “Somewhere I Belong,” “Breaking The Habit” and “Numb,” all of which made the jump to the pop charts.

“Meteora,” Linkin Park’s breakthrough second album, was released in March 2003 and features the globally successful singles “Somewhere I Belong,” “Faint,” “Numb,” “Breaking The Habit” and “From The Inside.” It has sold over 8 million copies in the U.S. and has been certified multi-platinum, platinum or gold in 15 countries.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of this groundbreaking release, it is being reissued in multiple formats: As a Super Deluxe Edition Box Set, 4 LP Deluxe Vinyl Box and 3-Disc Deluxe CD: all containing a wealth of previously unreleased or rare tracks. Among the unreleased tracks are some gems that Linkin Park fans didn’t already know, including “Lost” – a fully realized track from the recording sessions of the 2002 album featuring the stunning vocals of Chester Bennington.

The Super Deluxe Box contains 5 LPs, 4 CDs and 3 DVDs:

VINYL: “Meteora”, “Live In Texas” – the complete concert released on vinyl for the first time, and “Live in Nottingham 2003”, an unreleased legendary live concert from March 2003. The two live albums on double vinyl are exclusive to the Super Deluxe Edition.

CD: “Meteora”, “LPU Rarities 2.0”, “Live Rarities 2003-2004”, “Lost Demos”

DVD: 4 previously unreleased concerts, plus the new “Work In Progress” lifestyle documentary.

The beautifully designed box also includes lots of exclusive content: A 40-page book with band commentary, a 36 x 24 poster, a sticker sheet, a stencil and a 12 x 12 litho designed by Delta: the famous street artist who also appears on the album cover.
