After sharing a mysterious teaser video featuring an answering machine and floppy disk, Green Day has announced Dookie Demastered, a collection of reworked versions of songs off the band’s hit 1994 album recorded on “obscure, obsolete, and otherwise inconvenient limited-edition formats.”
Such formats include the aforementioned answering machine and floppy disk, as well as an original Nintendo Game Boy, a 8-track, a toothbrush and a Teddy Ruxpin. If you ever wanted to hear “Basket Case” through a Big Mouth Billy Bass, now’s your chance.
“The listening experience is unparalleled, sacrificing not only sonic quality, but also convenience, and occasionally entire verses,” a press release reads. “It’s Dookie, the way it was never meant to be heard.”
You can hear each track now via DookieDemastered.com. You can also enter into a drawing to purchase one of the actual physical formats, which are available in limited quantities.
Dookie Demastered was created in collaboration with the company Brain, which previously released the Fall Out Boy Crynyl — a vinyl edition of their So Much (for) Stardust album pressed with real tears cried by the band members.
