Little Feat‘s 1978 live double album Waiting For Columbus has been expanded for a new Super Deluxe Edition to mark its 45th anniversary.
The original album was recorded over a series of live shows in London and Washington, D.C. during summer 1977. This 8-disc box set includes a newly remastered version of the original double album on 2 CDs, as well as three unreleased concerts on the remaining 6 CDs – at Manchester City Hall (July 29, 1977), The Rainbow (August 2, 1977), and Washington D.C. at Lisner Auditorium (August 10, 1977).
When the album was recorded, the Little Feat line up comprised Lowell George (vocals, guitar), Paul Barrere (guitar, vocals), Bill Payne (keyboard, vocals), Richie Hayward (drums, vocals), Sam Clayton (percussion, vocals) and Kenny Gradney (bass), who were backed by the Tower of Power horn section.
The Super Deluxe Edition is released by Rhino on July 29. Dig! is offering an exclusive set, including the Super Deluxe Edition bundled with a 2-LP version, and a reissue of the Japanese 7” single for “Oh Atlanta” b/w “Willin’.” You can pre-order here.
The album is also available as a 2LP + 7″ single bundle, an 8CD + 7″ single bundle and a standard 2LP edition.
