(3/24/02, 10 a.m. ET) -- The career of Irish modern rock stars the Cranberries will be revisited in the upcoming collection, The Cranberries: Treasure Box-The Complete Sessions, 1991-1999. The massive anthology will include 74 songs, including 21 bonus tracks, covering the brunt of the group's recorded output spanning its first four studio releases prior to their 2001 album Wake Up And Smell The Coffee.
It is tentatively set for release on May 14 from Island Records.
The four Cranberries albums are digitally remastered and expanded for the box, meaning the group's best known songs--"Linger," "Zombie," "Dreams," "Ode To My Family"--will be featured alongside various outtakes, B-sides, and remixes.
Extra songs from the group's 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? are: "Reason," "Them," "What You Were," "Liar," "Pretty (Pret A Porter Movie Remix)," and "How (Radical Mix)."
Bonus tracks from 1994's No Need To Argue are: "Away," "I Don't Need It," "(They Long To Be) Close To You," "So Cold In Ireland," and "Zombie (Camel's Hump Mix)."
Additional tracks from 1996's To The Faithful Departed are: "Cordell," "The Picture I View," "Ave Maria," "Go Your Own Way," and "God Be With You."
Extra songs from 1999's Bury The Hatchet are: "Baby Blues," "Sweetest Thing," "Woman Without Pride," "Such A Shame," and "Paparazzi On Mopeds."
Cranberries frontwoman Dolores O'Riordan says the group's success through the '90s was due in part to its ability to ignore changing trends in rock and keep the faith in its own sound.
She tells LAUNCH, "Never did give thought to what was out there and never will because my writing comes from inside my heart and I think my voice is quite unique. I have confidence in what God gave me in my gift, you know what I mean? You gotta be grateful and say, 'Look, this is great,' you know? Life's too short to worry about what might be and what's going on out there. I don't feel any pressure, you know, I don't get like, 'Ooh, I have to sound like that,' or 'Ooh, I have to wear that dress.'"
