Credit: Dustin Rabin Faith No More's breakthrough 1989 album The Real Thing is being reissued by Rhino Records. The two disc collection, which will be released on June 9, features a rarities-filled disc featuring remixes, covers and live performances. Ahead of its release, you can stream the The Real Thing's rarities disc now at RollingStone.com.
The rarities disc includes a radio edit remix of Faith No More's biggest hit, "Epic," two B-sides and a live performance of their cover of the Black Sabbath classic "War Pigs."
Faith No More has previously distanced themselves from The Real Thing reissue, saying that it is not a "band sponsored release." "This is not to say that they are not worth getting," the band wrote on their Facebook. "It's just that they are not coming from us."
Meanwhile, Faith No More just released Sol Invictus, their first album in 18 years. Sol Invictus debuted at number one on Billboard's Hard Rock Albums chart, and number two on Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums.
Along with The Real Thing, Rhino is also reissuing Faith No More's 1992 album Angel Dust on June 9.
