Is anybody getting Amy Winehouse's re-release of Back to Black with the 4 new tracks on it?
I know she was like the .org queen around here for a while until she really started falling apart

I love her but I think I'll pass on this one unless the 4 new songs are just phenomenal

I know! I hate it! Its such a ploy to take the consumers money. These days I try not to even buy albums when they first come out cause you know its gonna be re-released in a couple months!

evidently it's a "Best Buy exclusive" but I can't find a tracklisting

http://www.bestbuy.com/si...id=1761254

As far has I know it will have Valerie, Monkey Man and the cover she did for the Radio 1 compilation (yes...the same comp that features the now classic cover of Roxy Music's Love is the drug that Kylie did!)

thekidsgirl said:

I believe the Best Buy version has four live tracks on DVD:

1. Back to Black
2. Rehab
3. You Know I'm No Good
4. Love is a Losing Game

The album is being re-released in the UK with the following tracklist:

Disc One

* 1. Rehab
* 2. You Know I'm No Good
* 3. Me & Mr Jones
* 4. Just Friends
* 5. Back To Black
* 6. Love Is A Losing Game
* 7. Tears Dry On Their Own
* 8. Wake Up Alone
* 9. Some Unholy War
* 10. He Can Only Hold Her
* 11. Addicted

Disc Two

* 1. Valerie
* 2. Cupid [Deluxe Edition Version]
* 3. Monkey Man
* 4. To Know Him Is To Love Him [NapsterLive]
* 5. Hey Little Rich Girl
* 6. You're Wondering Now
* 7. Some Unholy War
* 8. Love Is A Losing Game [Original Demo]

I don't know if this edition will be also sold in mainland Europe or on the rest of the World.

Thats it! ....then I'll definitely pass

MikeMatronik said:

Okay, so the UK version would actually be worth rebuying IMO cause of all the new songs

thekidsgirl said:

I agree...

I only have the 10 track version that was sold here in Portugal!

I have the eleven track version with Addicted as the album closer, and it's perfect just like that.

Me and my wallet can wait for the next real album.

thekidsgirl said:

Being on DVD, I'm guessing you get to actually watch her perform those songs on your TV. I believe there's an interview also.

I would prefer the U.K. rerelease myself. I have "Valerie" on a promo single. It's hot.

sextonseven said:

An since she keeps cancelling concert dates (twice in LA) - that may be all we get see of her perform!

I was thinking it was those same ole MTV performances, where she's wearing to mini-dress and only seems half wasted

thekidsgirl said:

I read that the bonus songs are acoustic versions recorded in front of a live audience at The Orange Lounge in Toronto.

thekidsgirl said:

I doubt it would be any MTV performances, though..she's done so many touring and television concerts in her own country and the rest of the EU since the cd's original EU release last year...hopefully whatever they pulled for the DVD will be a performance prior to say, maybe March 2007 before she hit the U.S. circuit and just fell apart...at least I hope so...

why re-release an already successful album?

I think Classic albums should stay with their original tracklist.

I would prefer a live album instead of this...

I'll be buying the dvd

mancabdriver said:

I have no problems with adding a second disc of extras like a lot of classic albums have been getting after being remastered. Just keep the tracklist of the first disc the same.

MikeMatronik said:

But where would they pull the material from with her sounding clean, on point, in good pitch...? They would have to go back pretty far before the whole US blow up, I think. That makes me wonder about liscencing issues and the money involved depending on the venues she was recording then if they were in fact recording the vocal. Four tracks of visual against a whole concert of audio might be a money issue for the label in terms of where she played, ect...

sextonseven said:

And don't you consider the version with "Addicted" on the end to be the CLASSIC tracklist?

Sir?

Cinnie said:

I only have the U.S. version with the Ghostface remix in place of "Addicted".

I might order the U.K. rerelease.

The only CLASSIC version is my European 10 song version that I bought on my local FNAC!

Y'all crazy with those claims!

sextonseven said:

Me too! and that track is so unnecessary

thekidsgirl said:

I don't even play that track anymore. When I listen to the album on iTunes at work, I substitute "Valerie" for it instead. The album ends on a much higher note that way.

sextonseven said:

Ooh nice idea! I should reburn a copy of it with that subsitution to keep in the car

I had a 10 track version without Ghostface first,

then I realized it was missing the closer "Addicted" and got the UK version. Gave the other CD to my dad.


The last thing I needed to hear was a rap on this album. Lame marketing move. But like I said I never owned that Ghostface version.
