Today’s the day that Billy Talent’s 10 Year Anniversary Edition is out and I’m pretty keen to get my hands on a copy and have a listen.
The special edition includes the original album plus a second disc that features the identical track listing and sequence but gives the fans a chance to hear the songs in a different light, including: the original demos, live recordings from shows and special in-studio performances. The album also includes a 16-page booklet with a forward written by George Pettit from Alexisonfire.
“It’s been quite the journey for us since recording this album over a decade ago in Vancouver with producer Gavin Brown, says guitarist Ian DSa.While listening through many old recordings looking for material to compile this bonus disc, I couldn’t help but be transported back to that time when we were just four twenty-something kids trying to make an impact on the local music scene. A time when we had already spent a better part of a decade as a band together, and were now feverishly writing and rehearsing every day at our cramped rehearsal space in Toronto. Those days would lead to the record that would not only put us on the map internationally, but define our sound as a band and our vision as artists.Searching through all our oldcollections, we were ecstatic to not only find a handful of previously unreleased demos recorded years before the album was released, but also some great live and live-studio versions from the years to follow. We enjoyed these so much that we’ve included these recordings as a bonus disc in this album reissue. I hope you will enjoy them too.”
