Sublime’s self-titled 1996 album, released a few months following the drug-related death of frontman Brad Nowell, will be reissued in a deluxe edition Aug. 15 via Geffen/UME. The double-disc set features what the label describes as Nowell’s intended but unused sequence for the original album, which now begins with an unreleased cover of Bob Marley’s “Trenchtown Rock.”
The album also now includes the original mix of “Doin’ Time,” which was edited just before the original set’s release due to a flap over sampling clearance. That track was just one of four huge rock airplay hits from “Sublime,” joining “Santeria,” “What I Got” and “Wrong Way.”
The second disc of the upcoming release sports eight previously unreleased tracks, including “I Love My Dog,” a tribute both to Nowell’s Dalmation and the Bad Brains staple “I Love I Jah.” An acoustic version of “Zimbabwe,” instrumental runs through “April 29th, 1992” and “Caress Me Down” and Wyclef Jean’s remix of “Doin’ Time” are also included.
Rounding out the album are videos for “What I Got,” “Wrong Way,” “Santeria,” “What I Got (Reprise)” and an unreleased alternate version of the clip for the original mix of “Doin’ Time.”
On Oct. 24, UME will issue a Sublime boxed set, but details have yet to be announced
