Ryan Adams readies deluxe ‘Heartbreaker’ reissue

Ryan Adams is to reissue his seminal debut solo album ‘Heartbreaker’ as a deluxe 4xLP box set next month.

The release, coming nearly 16 years since its original outing back in September 2000 on 6th May via the singer-songwriter’s own Pax-Am label, will feature various alternate takes, demos and additional tracks, all remastered from the original tapes.

The package - which also comes on 2xCD, will also feature a DVD featuring never-before-seen footage of an acoustic show at the Mercury Lounge in New York City in October 2000, during which he debuts his now infamous cover of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’.
