Twenty years ago, Megadeth released their best-selling album, Countdown to Extinction . To celebrate the milestone, the band has announced that they'll be releasing a special box set devoted to the album on November 6.
The package features two CDs: a remastered version of the album, and a live disc of the band's performance at San Francisco's Cow Palace from 1992. The set also comes with collectibles including a poster and four postcards.
In addition, Megadeth will be hitting the road for some special anniversary shows shortly after the box set is released. The trek kicks off on November 9 at Lupo's at the Strand in Providence, RI, and will make stops in Atlantic City, Charlotte, Atlanta and Las Vegas, among other cities. Fan club pre-sale tickets for the newly-announced dates go on sale on Wednesday, while tickets will be available to the general public on Friday.
