Amy Winehouse’s Iconic 'Back To Black' Is Getting A Massive 20th Anniversary Reissue
The legendary album returns this October with unreleased demos, rare live audio, and fresh insights from producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi.

Amy Winehouse’s seminal album *Back To Black* remains one of the most celebrated projects in modern pop history, and fans are about to get an expanded look into its creation. To commemorate two full decades since the record first transformed the music landscape, a massive deluxe reissue will officially arrive on October 27. The landmark record originally hit store shelves back on October 27, 2006. It quickly skyrocketed up international charts, ultimately generating over 25 million sales globally. The album's incredible commercial run was matched by massive industry acclaim during the 2007 Grammy Awards, where Winehouse collected five trophies, including major general field wins for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year.

Clips tied to this story.
This upcoming tribute promises an extensive peek behind the curtain for longtime listeners. The expanded tracklist packs in previously unheard studio demos along with rare B-sides that haven't been widely accessible. Music lovers can also hear a live performance taped at the iconic Paradiso venue in Amsterdam, recorded while Winehouse was on her famed 2007 *Back To Black* headlining tour. The physical release comes packed with historical visual treats and insider commentary. Photographers Alex Lake and Mischa Richter—who crafted the aesthetic for the original 2006 era—have pulled never-before-seen photos out of their archives for the new packaging. Key collaborators Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, who produced the timeless album alongside the late singer, also contributed fresh liner notes offering intimate perspectives on working with Winehouse.

Which special vinyl pressings are being released for Back To Black?
Vinyl enthusiasts will have several physical formats to choose from when the reissue drops. The centerpiece of the collection is an expanded 3LP box set pressed on clear vinyl, alongside multiple limited-edition 1LP options. Among the standalone pressings is an eye-catching Chalkboard Marble variant designed specifically for the anniversary event. Die-hard collectors can also grab a direct-to-consumer webstore exclusive. That package offers a 1LP Zoetrope vinyl disc engineered to create an optical illusion of moving footage featuring Winehouse as the record spins on a turntable platter. The entire slate of 20th anniversary *Back To Black* releases is set for an official drop on October 27, with pre-orders live across retail platforms today.
