THE BAND – Cahoots – 50th Anniv. Ed.
(Remixed & Remastered)

2CD / LP : 180g Vinyl / Blu-Ray / 7″ – Limited Super Deluxe Edition
(Includes Booklet & Lithograph.)

The super deluxe edition (which is 2CD+blu-ray+vinyl LP+seven-inch) adds Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround mixes of the album (also by Clearmountain) and four bonus tracks. The box set also includes a reproduction of the Japanese pressing of the ‘Life Is A Carnival‘/’The Moon Struck‘ seven-inch single (these are the new stereo mixes).

The box set also includes a black vinyl edition of the album, a 20-page booklet with new notes by Robbie Robertson and sleeve notes by Rob Bowman and three lithographs.

Interestingly, for the stereo mix, Bob Clearmountain was told to “transform” the original mixes based on what was lacking. He says: “Robbie told me, ‘Just think of the original mixes as rough mixes. Pretty much don’t pay attention to the mixes themselves’”. Robertson concurs: ““I told Bob, ‘There are no rules. So, every mix we do, I want to start from scratch. I don’t even want to listen to the original. I want to listen to the way we hear it now and be fearless and experimental with it”.

As before with The Band reissues vinyl will be available separately and a half-speed mastered gatefold vinyl edition will also be available via specific channels.

Cahoots is reissued on 10 December 2021 via UMC.
