The anniversary campaign revisits the band’s fifth album with fresh mixes, B-sides and previously unreleased live material, rather than simply another pressing.
The Cranberries have announced expanded editions of Wake Up and Smell the Coffee for January 29, 2027. The campaign marks the album’s 25th anniversary, with three-LP, two-CD and digital deluxe packages among the planned formats.
Original producer Stephen Street returns to the recordings. His new stereo mixes accompany an album made after the band completed a 110-date tour behind Bury the Hatchet. Street had also produced their first two albums before reuniting with them on this record.
The digital sequence lists 36 tracks. It opens with the original 13-song program, adds “Capetown,” then presents new mixes of the album’s songs before moving into further bonus recordings. That ordering gives listeners a way to compare versions without shuffling between separate releases.
The final stretch reaches beyond the studio sessions. Live recordings of “Shattered,” “Loud and Clear” and “In the Ghetto” close the tracklist. Other additions include “Seven Years,” an extended “Analyse” remix and the Marius de Vries remix edit of “Time Is Ticking Out.”
A separate collector’s edition turns the album title into its physical design. The official store lists a single LP containing liquid coffee, accompanied by a coffee-scented scratch-and-sniff sticker. It is distinct from the larger deluxe package and keeps the original album’s track sequence.
The expanded editions also document how the music was made. New photographs, liner notes and a band-led track-by-track retrospective accompany the archival material, including the previously unreleased recordings from Dublin’s Vicar Street. The announcement is out now; the editions themselves arrive in January.
