A 25th anniversary edition was released on June 30, 2009, by Rhino Records. The first disc contains remastered versions of the nine tracks from the May 1984 original. The bonus disc uncovers 15 unreleased outtakes and early demos from the original sessions, recorded in December 1983 at Nino's Studios, Baldwin, New York, as well as the new track "30" recorded especially for this collection by the 1984 lineup at Audio Magic, West Babylon, New York.

Additionally, any music fan who bought the CD or vinyl of the 25th anniversary edition in any participating independent record store received a free gift from the band: a DVD of the Twisted Sister 1984 Uncut Live at San Bernardino concert. Originally broadcast on MTV as Stay Hungry Live, the concert had been commercially unavailable for years and previously unavailable as DVD. June 30, 2009, was the only day the DVD was available and only through participating, independent record stores with a limited stock.{{cite news |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/twisted-sister-to-perform-on-live-with-regis-and-kelly/ |title=Twisted Sister To Perform On 'Live With Regis And Kelly' |work=Blabbermouth.net |date=June 17, 2009 |accessdate=October 31, 2016 }}
