The album will be published on the 29th of October as part of the band’s 40th-anniversary festivities and will feature an alternate version of the song “Leave,” which was recorded in the first edition.
New Adventures In Hi-Fi is available in two formats and will feature a restored version of the album, B-sides and rarities along with an hour-long video that was only previously displayed as projections on buildings to promote the record in 1996.
The anniversary edition will also include a hardcover book with images and memorabilia. The memorabilia will include an exclusive poster along with a selection of collectible postcards and a booklet.
Along with the remastered album, a Blue-ray disk will feature in the deluxe edition that will also include an unreleased 30-minute electronic press kit, a hi-fi audio version of New Adventures, and five HD-restored music videos.
New Adventures in Hi-Fi will be reissued as a two-CD set and digital collection with just the remastered album and rarities.
For Vinyl lovers, the remastered album will be available as a double-LP vinyl set also.
