Powderfinger Mark ‘Internationalist’ 20th Anniversary With Epic Re-release

If you’re a diehard Powderfinger fan, you’re no doubt across the fact that the band’s celebrated Internationalist LP turns 20 this year, and the Aussie rockers haven’t forgotten its anniversary.

It was 20 years ago today the album was released and to celebrate, Powderfinger have detailed plans to release a special deluxe edition on October 12, featuring unreleased tracks and more.

Expanding on the LP’s original 13 tracks – which includes fan favourites The Day You Come, Passenger and more – the new release will feature 35 songs, including a Live At The Wireless recording, B-sides and demos.

The re-release will be available on 2LP purple vinyl, 2CD Deluxe and digitally.

"We probably can’t overstate the influence Nick had on helping us define this album, and three subsequent," the band said in a statement.

"We tracked the main body of the album in a few weeks and we were all gobsmacked at how good he'd got it all to sound. We had made great sounding records before, but this was ALIVE. It was leaping out of the speakers when we mixed it’.

The success of Internationalist – the band’s third album – cemented their legacy, debuting at #1 in Australia before spending six weeks in the ARIA top ten and cleaning up at the ARIA Awards in 1999, taking out Album Of The Year, Best Rock Album, Best Cover Art and Single Of The Year.
