Listen To Unreleased Studio Version Of Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Shadow Of Your Love’

Guns N’ Roses have unleashed an absolute juggernaut of an unreleased recording: a studio version of ‘Shadow Of Your Love’, taken from a long-lost December 1986 recording session with Appetite For Destruction producer Mike Clink.

Dating back to the days of Hollywood Rose – the 80s LA group that, at one point, included four out of five future GN’R members, Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler – the song, captured while the band honed the material that would feature on their legendary debut album, Appetite For Destruction, rips along at a breakneck pace. Axl Rose’s unmistakably wall-crumbling vocals and the band’s utterly unfettered performance encapsulates everything that made GN’R such a magnetic force in the mid-80s.

This recording of ‘Shadow Of Your Love’ is the first taster of the rarities and unreleased material to be found on the eye-poppingly huge Appetite For Destruction box set, due for release on 29 June. Christened Appetite For Destruction: Locked N’ Loaded Edition, the 4CD+Blu-ray box set comes in a 12” x 12” x 12” solid wood box featuring not only a remastered version of the album, but also a remastered disc of B-sides and EP tracks; the previously unreleased 1986 Sound City session, from which ‘Shadow Of Your Love’ is taken; early demos of the GN’R classic ‘November Rain’; plus seven 7”s (the album’s five original singles, with additional 7”s for ‘Patience’ and ‘Shadow Of Your Love’) and a host of ephemera, including lithographs, replica flyers, patches, a turntable slipmat – and much, much more.
