Velvet Revolver's debut album, Contraband, is set to be released on vinyl for the first time in celebration of its 20th anniversary.
Contraband was released on June 8, 2004, by RCA Records. A commercial success, Contraband debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified double platinum by the RIAA.
Velvet Revolver was formed when Guns N' Roses musicians Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum combined to play at a benefit concert for fellow musician Randy Castillo in 2002. They decided to form a band and recruited guitarist Dave Kushner, who had previously played with Suicidal Tendencies, Wasted Youth, and Dave Navarro. Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland later joined the band as well.
The 20th-anniversary edition of the album, which features the hits "Fall To Pieces," "Slither," and "Dirty Little Thing," will also include an acoustic version of "Fall To Pieces," along with five covers. It'll be available as a double LP featuring 19 songs.
