Blink-182 Releases 25th‑Anniversary Edition of Take Off Your Pants And Jacket

The streaming reissue consolidates six bonus tracks that were previously split across different 2001 CD editions and changes how fans can access the album’s rarities.

Overview

  • Geffen Records and blink-182 placed the expanded edition on streaming services, with the release appearing June 12.
  • The package pairs the original 13 tracks with six previously edition‑specific bonus songs: Time To Break Up, Mother’s Day, What Went Wrong, Fuck a Dog, Don’t Tell Me It’s Over, and When You Fucked Grandpa.
  • The band promoted the anniversary by reviving their old MySpace page, sharing archival photos and lyrics, posting a clip of Mark Hoppus saying the tracks would "never, ever" hit streaming, and linking to 30‑second SoundCloud previews.
  • Collectors who once bought multiple regional CDs to gather the bonus material can now stream the complete set, and a 2-LP vinyl edition with randomized etched emblems is available for pre-order.
  • The release highlights how streaming has absorbed once-rare archival material and could renew listening to blink-182’s back catalogue as the band continues touring and scheduling festival dates.
