Jurassic 5 to release deluxe reissue of debut album

'J5' will feature rare songs and tour footage

Jurassic 5 are set to release a reissue of their 1997 debut album, and the new version will feature an array of extra features.

The newly issued ‘J5 Deluxe Re-issue’ will feature the original album as well as a bonus disc with 15 rare songs and a DVD with never before seen footage of the band’s first-ever world tour.

The DVD portion of the release features ‘The Jurassic Period’ documentary directed by Jason Goldwatch, and is accompanied by a 30-minute live performance ‘Jurassic 5 at Brixton Academy’ as well as the ‘Concrete Schoolyard’ music video.

The album has been out of print since 2004 due to contractual disputes, and will be released November 11 via Decon.
