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.
