Music fans will soon be able to own Amy Winehouse’s legendary Glastonbury performance; for the first time ever, the 2007 set will be made available on vinyl. Live At Glastonbury 2007 will be released to purchase on 3rd June 2022 via Universal Music and will no doubt further cement the performance as a vital piece of musical history.
The late singer’s set on the Pyramid Stage is regarded as an all-time highlight of the festival’s long history. Glastonbury’s co-organiser Emily Eavis has given the following statement concerning the release, “Amy Winehouse was a Glastonbury-goer through and through. She either came and played or, when she wasn’t working, came and camped. She played in the blistering heat and the heavy rain, and there were so many magical moments to her performances.”
The upcoming release marks and celebrates the 15th anniversary of the performance, included within the Vinyl’s artwork will be a dedication by Eavis. Within the famed set, ticketholders were treated to a range of the singer’s back catalogue including the hits “Valerie”, “Tears Dry On Their Own”, “You Know I’m No Good” and megahit “Rehab”. Within the same day, Winehouse performed across two stages. After her headlining set on the Pyramid stage, the singer then took to the Jazz World stage in the evening.
The memorialised 2007 performance was Winehouse’s second appearance at Worthy Farm, the singer made her Glastonbury debut three years earlier. After the release of her debut album Frank, the singer began to gain traction within the industry and the album was shortlisted for the 2004 Mercury Music Prize. During the summer of 2004 Winehouse took the stage at Glastonbury for the first time, the singer was billed to perform on the Jazz world Stage alongside funk legend Roy Ayers and blues singer Bonnie Raitt. The iconic singer would go on to perform at the historic festival again in 2008; Winehouse headlined the Pyramid Stage on Saturday alongside Jay-Z and Manu Chao.
Fans were left devastated in 2011 when the tragic news of Winehouse’s passing was announced, it was confirmed that the 27-year-old singer had died from alcohol poisoning. The iconic artist’s discography consists of two highly acclaimed studio albums, Frank and her breakthrough release Back to Black. Winehouse’s enduring legacy and influence are apparent within all aspects of popular culture; with many of her hits canonised to preserve modern music, the singer is forever immortalised.
Memorabilia from Winehouse’s career and items from her estate were placed at auction last year. The Fender Stratocaster guitar used by the singer on stage and in the music video for “Take the Box” was sold for £117,00. A dress that Winehouse wore during her final performance was also placed on auction and the item was sold for £18,000. The dress was part of a huge auction that included 800 pieces from the late singer’s estate, the overall sales totalled over £3 million which was donated to charity.
The hotly anticipated Vinyl release is to be pressed on 2 black LPs as well as a crystal-clear edition which can be purchased exclusively from Universal Music. The release is available to pre-order the here.
