With over 20 million albums sold worldwide, eight Top 5 singles, and three records that have broken the Top 5 on the Billboard 200, Counting Crows are set to release an expanded deluxe version of their seminal album, 'August and Everything After' in the UK on January 28th, 2008 (Universal/Geffen).
'August and Everything After', the Counting Crows first album released in 1994, showcased the band as a chart-topping powerhouse. Once MTV aired the video to their top 5 track "Mr. Jones," the album jumped 40 spots on the Billboard Top 200 in one week.
In addition to the original songs on 'August and Everything After', the deluxe version will include previously unreleased demos plus the entire final show from the August Tour in 1994 from Elysee Montmartre in Paris, France. Also included are liner notes written by lead singer/songwriter, Adam Duritz.
Still going strong today, most recently, their single "Accidentally In Love" from the Shrek 2 soundtrack earned them an Oscar™, Grammy, and Golden Globe nomination, and reached the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Following up the deluxe version of 'August and Everything After', the Counting Crows will release their long awaited new album 'Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings' within weeks. The record is the Crows' first studio album in almost 5 years, since the release of 'Hard Candy' in 2002.
