Information
- On 2 December 2015 a competition was held, where fans were asked about their favourite Rammstein song. The winner was able to win the XXI box number 6, with a written dedication by the band.[1]
- All albums are remastered and pressed on 180g 12" vinyl.
- Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Reise, Reise and Rosenrot are released on vinyl for the first time.
- Liebe ist für alle da was only slightly changed on the vinyl stickers. The credits are now a bit longer.
- The backpaper of the box has a small mistake on it: under the song Halleluja it says that the single for Links 2-3-4 was released in 1998.
- The box includes the special double album Raritäten.
- Raritäten is missing the songs Ohne dich (Beta Version), 5/4 and Pet Sematary.
- Raritäten includes the exclusive and before-then unreleased rock version of Los.
- The box is limited to 14,000 copies world wide.
Differences
- On all LPs the Pilgrim logo was replaced by the Rammstein logo.
- Also in all booklets the lyrics were re-arranged a little bit to fit more the new 12" size.
Herzeleid
- The band name is embossed on the cover.
Sehnsucht
- The original booklet had six pages, the LP booklet has just three.
- The band name was not printed with silver foil on the cover.
Mutter
- The album was extended to a double disc LP. The original first press had just one disc.
- The logo on front and back of the Mutter cover was replaced with a new and thicker version of the logo.
- In Spieluhr Till's last chorus was changed, making it begin with the second part and therefore repeat it twice consecutively.
- The transition between Rein raus and Adios has been removed, due to the vinyl separation.
Reise, Reise
- The band name is embossed on the cover.
- In the promotional video the cover for the album was a little different.
- The transition between Dalai Lama and Keine Lust has been removed, due to the vinyl separation.
- The transition between Amerika and Moskau has been removed, due to the vinyl separation.
- During Stein um Stein, the "ramm" from the line "Wenn ich sie in dein Leibholz ramm" has been repeated while the pause.
Rosenrot
- The band name is embossed on the cover.
- The ship at the end of the CD booklet is missing in the LP booklet.
- The tracklist was changed a tiny little bit: while the CD tracklist says Stirb nicht vor mir (Don't Die Before I Do) the vinyl uses Stirb nicht vor mir / Don't Die Before I Do.
- The lyrics of Spring and Rosenrot were switched on the booklet pages.
- During the first chorus of Benzin two of the "Benzin" were moved to the main riff before the second verse.
- Spring includes one previously unreleased line.
- All the female background voices and shouts on Te Quiero Puta! were removed and the female vocals on the bridge changed.
Rarities
- The mistake saying that the single Links 2-3-4 was released in 1998 is also on the credits on the tracklist of the vinyl itself.
- The intro of Das Modell was edited heavily, omitting Mathilde Bonnefoy's announcement. However, she's still credited on the tracklist of the vinyl.
- Donaukinder is missing the guitar solo, has the children choir sing without Till and a different synth whilst the last refrain.
