Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

'Back to Black' is the second album from London-based chanteuse Amy Winehouse. Although her 2003 debut was a success, her rowdy offstage behavior became the focus of tabloids and critics instead of the music. Because of this, Winehouse stepped out of the spotlight and concentrated on putting the focus back on her music. Three years later, her sophomore release has surprised critics and excited her fan base. Combining a strong, Jazzy vocal style with often frank lyrical content recounting tales of love and loss, Winehouse is a truly talented songwriter with a good ear for melody, making this album an essential purchase. Includes the single 'Rehab'. 

This US version includes one exclusive 'hidden' bonus track, 'You Know I'm No Good' (featuring Ghostface Killah).

Half speeding is an elaborate process whereby the source is played back at half its normal speed and the turntable on the disc cutting lathe is running at 16 2/3 R.P.M. Because both the source and the cut were running at half their “normal” speeds everything plays back at the right speed when the record is played at home.

Released in October 2006, Back to Black is the second studio by Amy Winehouse. It won Best Pop Vocal Album in February 2008 at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in LA with the single “Rehab” winning Record of the Year and Song of the Year and Amy herself picking up two more awards Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocalist for “Rehab”.

The album produced several singles, including 'Rehab', 'You Know I'm No Good', 'Back to Black', 'Tears Dry on Their Own', and 'Love Is a Losing Game'.

A Deluxe Edition 2CD of Back to Black was released in November 2007, containing a bonus disc of B-sides, rare, and live tracks including “Valerie”, “Cupid” and “Monkey Man".

This 2LP 10th anniversary vinyl set contains all the tracks from Deluxe Edition CD, the original album plus many of which appear on vinyl for the first time.
