Chris Cornell Super Deluxe LP box set reissued
If you missed it last year, the Chris Cornell Super Deluxe LP box set has been reissued. First released in 2018, the box set is being re-released by Vicky Cornell, Chris Cornell’s wife, on behalf of The Chris Cornell Estate. In addition to the 4CD/1DVD/7LP limited-edition color vinyl box set, a 4CD, 2LP, single CD, and digital versions are also available.
“When we released Chris Cornell earlier this year, the response from his fans was overwhelming. I am so thankful for the support of everyone who loved my husband. This album is so special in that it showcases the vast scope and breadth of who Chris was – not only as one of the greatest vocalists of all time but as the prolific and tremendous songwriter he was as well. It is my mission but also great privilege to continue to honor Chris’s legacy and contribution to music history for future generations to discover.”

The box set covers the late singer’s expansive career and includes tracks from his time with Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, solo tracks, and some unreleased tracks. Two notable unreleased tracks are his cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” that was performed on SiriusXM and “When Bad Does Good,” an unreleased song from Cornell’s personal archives.
In all, the limited-edition box set contains 64 songs and 24 videos, for a total of 88 tracks. The set also includes a 66-page hardcover photo book wrapped in linen with a red foil signature cover, three artist lithos, three photochromatic lithos inspired by Cornell’s lyrical fascination about the sun (images are brought to life by holding under direct sunlight), a turntable mat, a microfiber vinyl cleaning cloth, and a 36×48-inch wall poster.
