LITTLE FEAT - Don't Fail Me Now (Deluxe Edition) - 3CD [JUN 14]

3CD - Deluxe Edition. Includes a newly remastered version of the original album plus a previously unreleased live show and previously unreleased studio outtakes.   

Following the cadence of Rhino's previously successful Little Feat releases: “Waiting For Columbus” Super Deluxe in 2022 and “Sailin’ Shoes” + “Dixie Chicken” Deluxe albums in 2023.

This new offering, Don't Fail Me Now (Deluxe), from one of Rhino’s Top 100 Off Roster artists includes the original studio album cut from the analog tapes for the double LP and a newly remastered version plus a previously unreleased live show recording on the 3CD offering.

Both configurations feature a rarities disc of previously unreleased studio outtakes that were once thought to be lost when the recording studio located on a boat in Maryland sank in the late 70's. While it is true that some did sink, this is what remains from those sessions.

The previously unreleased live show that appears on the CD is from the Warner Bros. Music Show tour of Europe in January/February 1975. This is the tour where Little Feat's star truly rose in Europe and where LF would routinely blow their tour mates off the stage—including The Doobie Brothers, Tower of Power and Montrose.
