KiTbetter and Rhino Records have partnered to release special edition KiTalbums for three landmark titles: Stone Temple Pilots’ Purple, Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill, and The B-52’s’ Cosmic Thing. Each reissue is presented in a collectible keepsake box that combines tangible physical elements with a connected digital experience.

Presales begin on each album’s anniversary: Purple on June 7, Jagged Little Pill on June 13, and Cosmic Thing on June 27. All titles start shipping June 27.

The KiTalbum format brings together the tangible and the digital, combining premium physical packaging with layered audiovisual elements. Each release was created in collaboration with the artists to present the album as it was meant to be experienced. The Purple KiTalbum includes rarely seen photos by Chris Cuffaro and acoustic versions of “Big Empty” and “Pretty Penny.” Jagged Little Pill features official music videos, lyrics, and a wearable “Ironic” button designed with the same care as the original release. These are curated special editions that restore the full creative context around each album.

KiTalbums also offer artists new ways to understand how their work resonates over time. The format provides visibility into how listeners engage with both music and supporting content, opening up opportunities for reaching fans in new ways.

“These albums helped define a generation, and now they’re reimagined in a format that honors the past while meeting fans where they are today,” said Jennifer Sullivan, President, North America, KiTbetter. “Working closely with Rhino, the artists, and their teams, we shared a vision of the album as a complete artistic statement that blends sound, visuals, and storytelling. These iconic releases, born in the MTV era, finally bring all of that into one place, in one beautifully designed package.”
