Marshall Crenshaw's eponymous 1983 debut effort gets expanded reissue treatment

Yep Roc Records marks the 40th anniversary of Marshall Crenshaw’s self-titled debut album with a bonus-filled reissue. Available February 17, the expanded CD anniversary edition includes the original album, seven bonus tracks, five of which are previously unreleased, including home demos, B-sides, alternate mixes and live recordings.

Featuring his breakthrough top 40 pop hit, "Someday, Someway,” the album has newly remastered audio by engineer Greg Calibi and liner notes by Crenshaw. The digital format features newly remastered audio (the double LP version of the album, released last fall on Record Store Day Black Friday, is sold-out). Marshall Crenshaw is available for pre-order today.
