Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back to Black’ to Get Lavish Reissue for 20th Anniversary
The three-disc set, out this fall, includes demos, rarities, a live album, and rare photos and new liner notes by Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi
Amy Winehouse's iconic album, Back to Black, is set to receive a 20th anniversary reissue on October 23, accompanied by a host of rarities and a previously unreleased live album. The expanded edition features four fresh demos, alongside several B-sides, making for a comprehensive offering. The live album, recorded live at Amsterdam's Paradiso on February 8, 2007, is being released in its entirety for the very first time.
Mark Ronson, one of the album's two producers, shared his thoughts on the significance of the reissue, stating, "It’s crazy that six songs made in a fit of furious musical infatuation would matter so deeply to so many people twenty years later." Salaam Remi echoed similar sentiments, calling Amy Winehouse "one-of-a-kind" in terms of talent, passion, humor, honesty, and love for her craft.
The reissue, available via UMR/Island, is presented in multiple editions, including 3xLP and 3xCD sets, each featuring unique cover art. The tracklist for the 20th Anniversary Edition includes the original 25 tracks, spanning from Rehab to Wake Up Alone, and adds depth to the listening experience with the newly included live performances.
