Amy Winehouse's 'Back to Black' to get rarity-packed 20th anniversary reissue
Listen to an alternative version of 'Tears Dry On Their Own'
Amy Winehouse’s seminal second and final studio album ‘Back to Black’ is getting an expansive, rarity-packed reissue this autumn to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Produced by Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, ‘Back to Black’ was originally released in October 2006 and it features the huge anthems ‘Rehab’, ‘You Know I’m No Good’, ‘Love is a Losing Game’, ‘Tears Dry on Their Own’, and the album title track.
A deeply personal musical masterpiece, ‘Back to Black’ was a major commercial success upon release and, to date, it has sold more than 4.5 million copies in the UK alone.
Two decades after it changed the face of pop music, UMR/Island will reissue ‘Back to Black on Friday 23rd October 2026 on 3LP, 3CD & digital deluxe formats.
The re-release includes alternative cover artwork, unreleased demos, rare B-sides as well as a full live performance from Paradiso, Amsterdam (8th February 2007) from the Back To Black tour.
Listen to 'Tears Dry' (Alternative version):
Additionally, there are never-before-seen photos by original album photographers Mischa Richter and Alex Lake, plus brand new and poignant liner notes from producers and friends, Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi.
Salaam Remi says: "Amy was one of one. One-of-a-kind artist. One-of-a-kind spirit. One-of-a-kind soul. Experiencing that level of talent, passion, humour, honesty, and love for what she created was a gift."
Mark Ronson adds: “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.”
In addition to the expanded 3LP and 3CD versions of ‘Back to Black’, there are also limited edition 1LP variations of the original album including a 1LP 'Chalkboard Marble’ colour vinyl, plus a very special webstore exclusive 1LP Zoetrope vinyl featuring moving footage of Amy.
