Green Day - Nimrod [5LP] (LP Box Set)

Nimrod, Green Day's fifth studio album, was originally released on 14th October 1997. The Billboard top 10 LP declared "Green Days best!" by Kerrang was driven by the hit singles Hitchin' a Ride, Redundant, Nice Guys Finish Last and Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), the latter of which has sold five million copies in the US alone. The song was written as a spiteful ballad and has evolved into the soundtrack of everyone's seminal life moments; even being featured in the Seinfeld series finale. The album has sold over three million copies in the US (triple platinum) and has been certified multi-platinum, platinum, or gold in several other countries, including the UK, Japan, Canada, Australia and Spain.

This 25th anniversary edition includes the original album, one disc of previously unreleased Nimrod demos, and a live set from Philadelphia recorded one month after Nimrod was released. The 14 track demos disc includes two unreleased Green Day tracks (You Irritate Me and Tre Polka), plus a cover of the classic Elvis Costello song Allison (previously unreleased). The live album was recorded at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia on 14th November 1997. The 20-song set includes several songs from Nimrod, plus fan favourites from their previous albums and singles.
