Green Day has unveiled a previously unreleased demo version of Elvis Costello's "Alison," which will appear on their upcoming Nimrod 25th-anniversary box set.

The pop-punk trailblazers adhere to the wistful, mellow feel of the original, employing only a clean guitar and Billie Joe Armstrong's plaintive vocals.

You can listen to the performance and see the Nimrod 25 track listing below.

The box set, which comes out on Jan. 27, will include the original album, one disc of previously unreleased demos and a live performance from Philadelphia's Electric Factory (now known as the Franklin Music Hall) that took place on Nov. 14, 1997, one month after Nimrod's release. The demo disc includes two unreleased Green Day songs, "You Irritate Me" and "Tre Polka."

Nimrod marked a turning point for Green Day, who had rocketed to stardom a few years earlier with their multiplatinum 1994 major-label debut Dookie. The 18-track Nimrod found the group incorporating elements of ska, surf rock and folk into its pop-punk blueprint. The album is best remembered for the acoustic ballad "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," which appeared in the penultimate Seinfeld episode and sold 5 million copies in the United States.
