James Blunt - Back to Bedlam [DELUXE] (CD)

James Blunt announces full details of his forthcoming special remastered version of Back to Bedlam, one of the top 10 best-selling albums of the'00s, on October 11th, 20 years to the day since its initial release.

Included in this special 20th anniversary release is a special version of the original album remastered for 2024 by Stuart Hawkes at Metropolis, in addition to previously unreleased demos of the core songs from the album, plus previously unreleased songs from the Bedlam era.

In true James Blunt fashion, he explains; "I've released seven studio albums, but Back to Bedlam was the one people actually bought. So on its 20th anniversary, the record label and I thought we should repackage it with some early demos, and milk it for all it's worth. It was one of the biggest selling albums of the '00s, so here's hoping it makes a dent in the '20s."

Back to Bedlam featured the global smash hit You're Beautiful. James Blunt has won two Brit Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards and has received five Grammy nominations. As James humbly approaches national treasure status in his native UK, he is widely regarded for his honesty, wit and charm, as showcased on record, on stage and with his ever-engaging social media banter.
