Just in time for its 50th anniversary, Capitol/UMe will reissue The Band's seminal exploration of Americana, Music from Big Pink, on CD, 2-LP vinyl, digital, and in a CD/BD/2-LP/1-7 inch single Super Deluxe Edition.  For its 50th, Big Pink has been spruced up by engineer Bob Clearmountain, who has produced a new stereo mix of the album from the original four-track analog masters. The 50th Anniversary Edition's CD, digital, and box set configurations also include five outtakes and alternate recordings from the sessions and a previously unreleased a cappella version of "I Shall Be Released."  While five of the bonus tracks from previous CD reissues are here, others are absent.  Clearmountain has also produced a new 5.1 surround mix for the box set.  For the two new album-only vinyl editions, Chris Bellman has cut the vinyl lacquers at 45rpm at Bernie Grundman Mastering, expanding the album to two LPs for optimal sound quality.  A standard CD will also be released with just the new album mix.  Read our full review here!
