Amy Winehouse ‘Back to Black’ 20th Anniversary Edition to Feature Unreleased Demos, Rare B-Sides, Full 2007 Concert

A highly anticipated 20th anniversary edition of Amy Winehouse's critically acclaimed 2006 album, Back to Black, will be released on October 23rd. This special edition CD features a treasure trove of rare tracks and exclusive content that will surely captivate fans of the late, talented artist. The 3CD compilation includes the original studio album, four brand new demos, rare B-sides and bonus tracks, as well as the full live performance from Winehouse's groundbreaking show at Amsterdam's Paradiso on February 8, 2007.

With newly designed cover art showcasing Winehouse's original handwritten lyrics and previously unseen photographs by Mischa Richter and Alex Lake, this anniversary edition is a must-have for any fan. In addition to the iconic "Rehab," the album features timeless hits like the Motown-inspired "You Know I'm No Good," the heartfelt ballad "Me and Mr. Jones," the poignant title track, and the melancholic "Love Is a Losing Game."

The second disc focuses on Winehouse's unique collaborations, including her memorable cover of the Zutons' "Valerie" that became a signature song, as well as her duet with Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah on "I'm No Good (You Know I'm No Good)." The package also includes original demos of "F--kery (Me & Mr. Jones)," "Back to Black," and "Love is a Losing Game," showcasing Winehouse's raw and creative spirit.

Among the 14 tracks on the live Paradiso set are some of Winehouse's most beloved hits, such as "Addicted," "Cherry," a medley of "He Can Only Hold Her" and Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)," "I Heard Love Is Blind," and "Wake Up Alone." Winehouse tragically passed away on July 23, 2011, due to alcohol poisoning, after a five-year battle with substance use. Despite this, her legacy continues through the timeless music she created, immortalized in this special anniversary edition of Back to Black.
