Rhino is expanding the self-titled debut from The Power Station into a 4CD box set. The Power Station DLX includes the remastered album (featuring the hits "Some Like It Hot" and a cover of T. Rex's "Get It On (Bang a Gong)") alongside three discs of bonus material, including unreleased "raw instrumental" versions, single mixes and live material, including the band's performances from the charity concert Live Aid and an unissued full set from nearly a month later at The Spectrum in Philadelphia. The clamshell-cased collection includes a 12-page book of liner notes featuring liner notes by John Earls including new interviews with the band's surviving members, John Taylor and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran. (The lineup was rounded out by vocalist Robert Palmer and CHIC drummer Tony Thompson.) A recycled double-vinyl version will include the remastered album and a sample of the rarities on the second disc of the box. As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
