MÖTLEY CRÜE GOES BACK TO THE DOCTOR

Mötley Crüe fans have an appointment with the doctor—Dr. Feelgood, that is.

The Angeleno rock icons—Vince Neil, Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx—have raided their archives to create a 35th anniversary boxed set version of that classic album, arriving 11/22 on BMG. The collection uses the sextuple-platinum original as the foundation for a veritable shopping mall of metal mania, including EPs of demos and live tracks, a poster, a photo book, a guitar pick, a patch, a replica handbill, a replica tour itinerary and, of course, a "medical envelope"… to remind fans to take their vitamins.

Crüe’s members, now augmented by guitarist John 5 (Rob Zombie), who replaces original axe wielder Mick Mars, may need to double up on those supplements ahead of a series of underplays on the Sunset Strip: 10/7 at the Troubadour, 10/9 at the Roxy and 10/11 at the Whisky a Go Go. The band will also host a charity dinner at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on 10/8, with proceeds benefiting Covenant House.

The Feelgood box will be available in a deluxe streaming version and six vinyl configurations (one unique color each for independent retailers, Walmart, Target, Amazon and Urban Outfitters, as well as none more black). Walmart also has an exclusive CD with 3D lenticular artwork. All variants feature reimagined cover art showing 35 years of decay.

And if there’s one thing HITS knows about, it’s 35 years of decay (38, but who's counting).
