The Black Crowes / Shake Your Money Maker super deluxe box set

The Black Crowes‘ debut, 1990’s The Black Crowes Present: Shake Your Money Maker, will be reissued next month for its 30th anniversary through UMe/American Recordings.

Shake Your Money Maker sold over five million copies and features the singles ‘Jealous Again’, ‘Twice As Hard’, ‘She Talks To Angels’ and a cover of Otis Redding’s ‘Hard To Handle’.

The album will be reissued across a number of formats, including 4LP and three-CD super deluxe editions, which include the original album, remastered; three never-before-heard studio recordings; two unreleased demos from the band’s early incarnation as Mr. Crowe’s Garden;  B-sides and a 14-song unreleased concert recorded in their hometown of Atlanta, GA from December 1990.

A two-CD deluxe features the remastered album and the disc with unreleased songs and B-sides.

Liner notes are by David Fricke and the large format 3CD set and the 4LP super deluxe come with reproductions of an early Mr. Crowe’s Garden show flyer, setlist and tour laminate; a four-inch Crowes patch; and a 20-page book.

The good news is that Target in the US and Rough Trade in the UK both have digi-pak editions of the 3CD set (e.g. without the extra ‘stuff’) which are less than £20 (or equivalent).

Brothers, and band founders Chris and Rich Robinson, with original producer George Drakoulias, have overseen the creation of the re-release.

The Black Crowes Present: Shake Your Money Maker is released on 26 February 2021.
