The rock band Boston is preparing an expanded reissue of its self-titled debut album to commemorate its 50th anniversary. Scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2027 via Impex Records, the edition will feature previously unreleased ‘lost demos’ recorded during the original sessions. These tracks were intended for labels prior to the band signing with Epic Records and were restored by guitarist Tom Scholz and Gary Pihl.

The anniversary collection is expected to be available in multiple formats, including black vinyl, limited edition pearl gold vinyl, and SACD hybrid discs. To accompany the announcement, Tom Scholz shared a rare live recording of ‘More Than a Feeling’ from the 2017 Hyper Space tour, noting it is an authentic stereo feed from the mixing console designed to preserve the natural atmosphere of the performance.
