Following recent reissues of The Black Crowes' first two albums, 1990's Shake Your Money Maker and 1992's The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion - along with an expanded edition of a live team-up with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin - the Southern rockers' third album will get the similar treatment this fall.

On November 14, the group (formed around brothers and sole consistent members Chris and Rich Robinson) will revisit 1994's Amorica as a 3CD or 180-gram 5LP set. The box will include an expanded version of the album (remastered from 1/4" production master tapes by Chris Athens and including one B-side and two newly-mixed outtakes) alongside the "lost" album Tallest plus a set of unreleased studio and live sessions. The packaging will also include an envelope of paper extras, including a fan zine featuring new interviews with the Robinsons, a poster and bumper sticker. (All copies will be packaged in black shrink wrap to obscure the album's controversial artwork - a crop from a Hustler cover that featured a female torso wearing a low-cut American bikini bottom.)

The Crowes - then consisting of Chris Robinson on vocals/harmonica/guitar, Rich Robinson and Marc Ford on guitar, Johnny Colt on bass, Eddie Harsch on keyboards and Steve Gorman on drums - were flying high from the start of their major-label career on Rick Rubin's Def American (shortened to American Recordings the year Amorica was released). Shake Your Money Maker yielded pop crossover hits in "She Talks to Angels" and a rousing take on Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle," while The Southern Harmony and Music Companion yielded four straight No. 1 hits on Billboard's mainstream rock chart - the first album to feature that many. The band's initial plan was to channel a burst of prolific songwriting into an album called Tall, but those sessions were scrapped and repurposed as Amorica, produced by the band with Jack Joseph Puig. Though it missed the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 (possibly owing to the cover controversy - certain retailers would only stock a censored version), Amorica yielded three more mainstream rock Top 10s ("A Conspiracy," "High Head Blues" and "Wiser Time"), and the album would be certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Owing to the persistence of fans (and the band's willingness to play its songs in concert), the legend of Tall never quite went away. In 2009, after a split and regroup in the mid-'00s, the Robinsons released The Lost Crowes, a double album that chronicled material from both Tall and Band (a scrapped post-Amorica album). The Tallest bonus disc of this reissue is the last word on the sessions, presenting six of those tracks - now newly mixed by longtime collaborator George Drakoulias and Martin Pradler - alongside three other unissued cuts from the Tall sessions, including "Bitter, Bitter You," released in advance of the box. The bonus material is rounded out by the "Marie Laveau session" - a loose recording by the Robinsons in a New Orleans studio during a tour stop in 1992 - and four versions of Amorica tracks performed at AIR Studios in London for a radio broadcast.

Both versions of the box (as well as standalone CD and double LP versions of the remastered, expanded album) will be available on November 21 at your preferred music retailers. The band is also offering signed copies and a clear vinyl variant of the album on their official site. Order links and the full track list are below.
