Amy Winehouse's Back to Black gets a 20th anniversary edition with unreleased demos and a 2007 live set

Twenty years after it changed modern soul, Amy Winehouse's Back to Black is back. A 20th anniversary edition arrived on Friday, 23 October 2026 via Republic and UMe, four days before the original album's anniversary on 27 October. What is new 1. Unreleased demos and rare B-sides, including Cupid, To Know Him Is To Love Him, a version of You Know I'm No Good featuring Ghostface Killah, and Valerie recorded live at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. 2. A full live set recorded at the Paradiso in Amsterdam on 8 February 2007, during the Back to Black tour. 3. Previously unseen photographs by the original album photographers, Mischa Richter and Alex Lake. 4. New liner notes from producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, and an image of Amy's handwritten lyrics from Ronson's archive. Formats The reissue is out as a clear-vinyl triple LP, a triple CD and a deluxe digital edition, with new artwork and limited variants including a single-LP colour edition. Why Back to Black still matters Released in October 2006, Back to Black was the last album Winehouse released before her death in 2011. Songs like Rehab, You Know I'm No Good and the title track brought a retro soul sound back into the mainstream and influenced a generation of singers who followed. For new listeners, the live Paradiso set may be the highlight: it captures Winehouse at the height of her powers, singing the album's songs in front of a crowd.
