Falco / Falco 3 40th anniversary reissue

3CD • 3LP vinyl • Cassette • Vinyl

Falco’s 1985 album Falco 3, will be reissued for its 40th anniversary in October.

The Austria singer’s third album features the international hit ‘Rock Me Amadeus’ which was number one virtually everywhere – including the UK and USA – as well as ‘Vienna Calling’ and ‘Jeanny’ which also did very well.

There was two versions of Falco 3, the original European version released in 1985 and the ‘International’ version issued in UK, USA and Japan and a few other countries. The latter replaced the standard album versions of ‘Rock Me Amadeus’ and Vienna Calling with 12-inch versions (the ‘Salieri Version’ and ‘Metternich Arrival Mix’, respectively) and uses a photo of Falco on the front cover, rather than the red ‘autograph’ version.

The reissue will be available as a 3CD deluxe edition, a 3LP vinyl version, cassette and two different vinyl LP versions (European and International versions). Audio has been remastered and there’s new sleeve notes by Michael Rager.

Sony Music Austria are choosing to drip-feed the tracklisting over the next few weeks but the deluxe editions will include the original twelve-inch and seven-inch versions, demos, rough mixes, live tracks etc. There will be 37 tracks on the 3CD version, 23 on the 3LP, 16 tracks on the cassette (which includes some 12-inch mixes) and the LP versions are 10 tracks. Nine tracks on CD for the first time and there’s one unreleased version.

Falco 3 will be reissued on 24 October 2025 (was 10 October), via Sony Music Austria.
