Label: Rhino

Reissued 11/21/2025, Originally released 1984

Widely hailed as one of the greatest albums of the 1980s and a cornerstone of indie rock. The DELUXE EDITION gathers a wide range of unreleased material from the LET IT BE sessions, including alternate versions of “Gary’s Got A Boner” and “Favorite Thing,” as well as previously unreleased outtakes “Who’s Gonna Take Us Alive” and “Street Girl.” The alternate version of “Androgynous” out today features a different vocal take and the full piano intro, restored for the first time. All five bonus tracks from 2008’s LET IT BE (EXPANDED EDITION) are included here, newly remastered for this set. The collection also includes GOODNIGHT! GO HOME!, an unreleased 28-song performance recorded in August 1984 at the Cubby Bear in Chicago. Sourced from an audience tape and newly remastered.
