“We only said goodbye with words.”
On October 27, 2006, pop music changed forever. Back to Black, Amy Winehouse’s sophomore album, is universally regarded as one of the greatest and most important albums in pop history. This October marks 20 years of this acclaimed album.
On October 23, 2026, Republic/UMe will reissue the album across 3LP clear-vinyl, 3CD, and digital deluxe editions, featuring unreleased demos, rare B-sides, and a previously unreleased live performance recorded at Paradiso, Amsterdam, on February 8, 2007, during the Back To Black tour. The formats will also include never-before-seen photographs from original album photographers Mischa Richter and Alex Lake, plus brand-new liner notes from Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi.

“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
Back To Black, Amy’s deeply personal, lyrical, and musical masterpiece, was not only a critical sensation but a major commercial success. The album swept a historic GRAMMY night, earning five awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best New Artist, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Rehab.”
It’s been 15 years since the world lost Amy. But she remains a once-in-a-generation talent and revered around the world for her extraordinary songwriting, her honesty, her remarkable voice, and the purity of her artistry.
