Ten Years After have announced official plans to release a deluxe version of their most recent studio album, 2017’s A Sting in the Tale, on February 5.

The expanded edition of the album features four bonus live tracks recorded in Erfurt, Germany, during the band’s tour in support of A Sting in the Tale. The performances are renditions of three songs from the record — “Land of the Vandals,” “Last Night of the Bottle” and “Silverspoon Lady” — as well as a version of the band’s 1971 hit “I’d Love to Change the World.”

Reflecting on the making of A Sting in the Tale, founding drummer Ric Lee says, “The creative process of the studio album was a joy. Writing and recording together, being able to construct songs that reflect the personalities, memories and experiences of each of the members was extremely satisfying. We’re very happy that [the] Deko [label] suggested adding four ‘live’ bonus tracks to make this the Deluxe Edition.”

Limited-edition bundles featuring a CD copy of the album, a Ten Years After T-shirt and tote bag, and an autographed photo of the band are available while supplies last at MerchBucket.com.

You can check out a music video for one of the album’s songs, “Suranne Suranne,” on YouTube.
