Steve Miller Band's J50: Evolution of The Joker eschews the typical album-plus-outtakes format for a mostly chronological journey through the history of the album, track-by-track. Over two CDs or three LPs and a 7" single, the original album will be reassembled with various live recordings, demos, and studio outtakes plus some commentary tracks from Miller himself - all previously unreleased. (The sole released bonus track: the original single version of the title track.) Eight of the songs, including lead tracks "Lidi" and "Travelin'," have never been heard before. The packages also include liner notes by Miller and Anthony DeCurtis, plus an iron-on transfer and lithograph within the vinyl box.
