The Power Station reissue

40th anniversary

The Power Station / 4CD reissue

The Power Station’s self-titled debut album is being reissued for its 40th anniversary in 4CD and 2LP variants.

The band ( a supergroup of sorts) came about during Duran Duran’s hiatus (which also saw Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor form Arcadia) and featured Robert Palmer, Tony Thompson (from Chic) and Duran members John Taylor and Andy Taylor. Bernard Edwards produced the album (with “informal assistance” from Nile Rodgers) which features the hit singles ‘Some Like It Hot’ and ‘Get It On’.

The new 4CD reissue comes in a clamshell box and features a remastered version of the album, remixes, ‘raw instrumentals’ (taken from the original studio sessions) and unreleased live tracks (from The Spectrum in Philadelphia on 21 August 1985, newly remixed by Richard Whittaker) and Live Aid performances.

It should be pointed out that Robert Palmer would only perform with the band live once (‘Saturday Night Live’ in February 1985) and left the band shortly after album came out. They toured with Michael Des Barres who also performed with them for Live Aid – these are the recordings on the reissue. The box includes a 12 page booklet with a new interview with John Taylor and Andy Taylor (by John Earls).

A 2LP black vinyl edition features the remastered album, single remixes and Live Aid recordings. Both formats will be released on 23 January 2026.
