Amy Winehouse, whose universally acclaimed album Back To Black is fast approaching 5 x platinum in the UK making it the best selling album of 2007, rounds off a remarkable year with the release on November 5th of a deluxe edition of this modern day classic album. The deluxe edition comes in a bound two-disc casing, with lavish new booklet, additional exclusive photos and a second disc which features 8 new studio recordings. Disc 1 presents the Back To Black album is all its original glory, while the second disc features studio recordings of some of Amy’s best loved live songs, as well as the original demo version of Love Is A Losing Game, one of the key tracks from the record. The full track-listing for Disc 2 is as follows: Valerie, Cupid, Monkey Man, To Know Him Is To Love Him, Hey Little Rich Girl, You’re Wondering Now, Some Unholy War and Love Is A Losing Game (Original Demo). 2007 has seen Amy established as one of world’s biggest stars, both commercially and critically. The continued high chart position in the UK, (Back To Black has only been outside the UK top 10 for 1 week this year), has been mirrored in the US where Back To Black entered the Billboard Hot 100 album chart at no. 7 making Amy the highest debuting British female artist in the history of the US albums chart. The album continues to enjoy almost unbroken Top 10 success in the States. The critical response to the record has been every bit as impressive with Amy picking up a series of awards including a Brit, Ivor Novello, Mojo, Glamour and Elle Style Awards. The 24 year-old Londoner has also picked up nominations at the MTV VMA’S, the Nationwide Mercury Music Prize as well as the forthcoming MOBO & Q Awards.
Amy kicks off her UK tour on November 12th in Manchester and will finish up in Cardiff on November 28th.
