James Blunt – Back To Bedlam (The Demos) (Cherry Red Vinyl, RSD 2025)

Following 2024s Netflix documentary ‘One Brit Wonder’ along with a viral campaign that went global and saw a return to the Top 10 for ‘Back To Bedlam’ in the UK 20 years after its original release, Record Store Day 2025 sees the debut vinyl release of the ‘Back To Bedlam’ Demos, only previously available on the 2CD format of ‘Back To Bedlam’ (20th Anniversary Edition).

This recycled cherry LP is housed in an exclusive brand new ‘red’ version of the classic ‘Back To Bedlam’ album artwork and includes the early blueprint recordings for what was to become the multi-million selling and worldwide No.1 hit ‘You’re Beautiful’ as well as the global hits ‘High’ and ‘Wisemen’ along with bonus demos of ‘Back To Bedlam’ era songs that didn’t originally appear on the album.

2025 also sees James Blunt take the songs of ‘Back To Bedlam’ on tour around the world to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album.
