Listen: Rage Against The Machine Stream ‘XX’ Release

Rage Against The Machine’s debut album is twenty years old this November, and, to commemorate this, label Legacy are to issue a box set, titled ‘XX’.

Released today (27th November), the reissue features an entirely remastered version of the record, plus various demos and concert footage - including that from their Finsbury Park gig in London back in 2010.

The best news of all though? You can stream a twenty-four track set of its songs right now, right here.



With all box sets there are various options - and this is no different; choose between the ‘deluxe box set’ (2 x CD, DVD, 12’, booklet, poster), ‘special edition’ (2 x CD, bonus DVD), and regular CD.

The release will feature liner notes contributed by Chuck D.
