Republic/UMe will reissue Amy Winehouse's Back To Black in a series of special formats to mark the 20th anniversary of the seminal album, featuring unreleased demos, rare B-sides, and a live performance from Paradiso, Amsterdam (February 8, 2007) from the Back To Black tour.

'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.' – Mark Ronson, 2026
'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.' – Salaam Remi, 2026
The reissue formats will also include 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. The album will be released on Friday, October 23, 2026, just days before the 20th anniversary of the album's original release date of Friday, October 27, 2006.
Back To Black, Amy's deeply personal, lyrical and musical masterpiece, was not only a huge critical sensation but also became a major commercial success. In the UK, the album debuted at No. 3 and later reached No. 1 on the Official Albums Chart before going on to be the best-selling album of 2007. The album, which has now sold over 4.5 million copies the UK, earning a 15× Platinum certification, debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, eventually peaking at No. 2 following Amy's infamous five-Grammy haul. Amy swept the board that memorable night, winning the prestigious Record of The Year & Song Of the Year awards as well as Best Pop Vocal Album, Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance with 'Rehab.'
Now 20 years on and a double-Platinum RIAA certification later, Back To Black has since topped charts across Europe—including Austria, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland — and has sold well over 25 million copies worldwide. Amy Winehouse, a once-in-a-generation talent, is rightly revered around the world for her extraordinary songwriting ability, her honesty, her remarkable voice, and the purity of her artistry.
For the 20th anniversary, a special 3LP clear-vinyl edition and accompanying 3CD edition collates the Back To Black era in a definitive package, featuring four unreleased demos, plus rare B-sides alongside the deluxe tracks. The third disc features the notable live performance from Paradiso, Amsterdam, on February 8, 2007, from the Back To Black tour, never released in full on vinyl or streaming before.
These editions feature brand-new alternative cover artwork, an image from Mark Ronson's archives of Amy's handwritten lyrics, and never-before-seen photos by original album photographers Mischa Richter and Alex Lake, plus exclusive liner notes from Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi.
To complete the anniversary suite of formats, limited edition 1LP variations of the original album include a 1LP 'Chalkboard Marble' color vinyl, plus a very special webstore-exclusive 1LP Zoetrope vinyl featuring moving footage of Amy. All physical and digital formats will be released via UMe/Island on Friday, October 23, 2026.
