Candlebox Announce ‘The Maverick Years’ 7-LP Vinyl Box Set

Rhino has announced that it will release a 7-LP vinyl boxed set featuring all three studio albums Candlebox released via Maverick, plus more than a dozen previously unreleased recordings.

The Maverick Years will be available exclusively on vinyl on September 22 for $125.98. The set introduces newly remastered versions of Candlebox (1993), Lucy (1995), and Happy Pills (1998) as double LPs, along with a single album of unreleased outtakes, demos, and more.

The Maverick Years chronicles the band’s dramatic ascent, starting with its eponymous debut. The original album has been expanded on the new vinyl version with two unreleased bonus tracks, “Sorry I Let You Down” and a demo for “10,000 Horses.”

On the new vinyl edition, four unreleased tracks are added, including a live performance of “Lucy” recorded in 1995 during the group’s appearance on Seattle radio station KISW.

Happy Pills, Candlebox’s final album on Maverick, compiles nine unreleased bonus tracks and features the demo for “Happy Pills,” a remixed version of “Sometimes,” and the outtakes “Giant Steps” and “Dream.”

The group’s Long Goodbye Tour is currently underway, and their final album, The Long Goodbye, will be released on August 25.
