There is a new version of the 'Billion Dollar Babies' LP being released by Rhino Records on March 8 to celebrate the 51st anniversary of the original album

The 3-LP or 2-CD versions both feature a new remaster of the original album, along with bonus material, including studio outtakes, single mixes, and a 1973 concert recording. However, for those of us who have a copy of the 2001 2CD deluxe edition re-release, there doesn't seem to be a lot of new or previously unreleased material on these

The track listing for the LP version is:
LP ONE
Side One

“Hello Hooray”
“Raped And Freezin’”
“Elected”
“Billion Dollar Babies”
“Unfinished Sweet”

Side Two

“No More Mr. Nice Guy”
“Generation Landslide”
“Sick Things”
“Mary Ann”
“I Love The Dead”
LP TWO
Side One

“Hello Hooray” – Live, 1973
“Billion Dollar Babies” – Live, 1973
“Elected” – Live, 1973
“I’m Eighteen” – Live, 1973
“Raped And Freezin’” – Live, 1973
“No More Mr. Nice Guy” – Live, 1973

Side Two

“My Stars” – Live, 1973
“Unfinished Sweet” – Live, 1973
“Sick Things” – Live, 1973
“Dead Babies” – Live, 1973
“I Love The Dead” – Live, 1973
LP THREE
Side One

“School’s Out” – Live, 1973
“Under My Wheels” – Live, 1973
“Coal Black Model T” – Outtake
“Son Of Billion Dollar Babies (Generation Landslide)” – Outtake

Side Two

“Hello Hooray” – Single Version
“Billion Dollar Babies” – Single Version
“Elected” – Single Version
“Mary Ann” – Single Version
“Slick Black Limousine”

Presumably LP's 2 and 3 are both on CD 2

The vinyl edition faithfully replicates the original's LP's textured snakeskin wallet design and comes complete with a $1 billion dollar bill tucked inside and an oral history of the album...


...while the CD versions seems to only have an insert booklet
