THE BLACK CROWES are to release an expanded 30th anniversary edition of their classic debut album, Shake Your Money Maker

Chris and Rich Robinson’s band will re-issue the album, originally released on February 13, 1990 [so, er, 31 years ago], in various formats on February 26, via UMe/American Recordings
 
For CROWES fans, the most enticing-looking editions are the four LP/three CD Super Deluxe sets, which includes a remastered version of the original album, three never-before-heard studio recordings, two unreleased demos from the band's early incarnation as MR. CROWE'S GARDEN, single B-sides and a previously unreleased 14-song gig recording, taped in the band’s Atlanta, Georgia hometown in December 1990.

These box sets also include reproductions of an early MR. CROWE'S GARDEN show flyer, setlist and tour laminate, a CROWES patch and a 20-page book with liner notes by Rolling Stone journalist David Fricke.
 
As a preview of the new editions, THE BLACK CROWES are sharing one of the previously unheard studio songs, Charming Mess, which was originally slated to be the band's first single, but was ultimately left off of the album entirely.
 
The Robinson brothers intend taking a new-look version of their band on the road this summer on THE BLACK CROWES Present: Shake Your Money Maker tour, playing Shake Your Money Maker in its entirety, plus selected highlights from the band’s career.
