Reviving The Power Station: Celebrating 40 Years of Iconic Music with a Special Reissue
The iconic supergroup The Power Station, consisting of members from Duran Duran and singer Robert Palmer, is set to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their self-titled debut album in early 2026. The reissue of the 1985 album will include a four-CD set featuring instrumental versions, single edits, their Live Aid performance, and other concert recordings. The anticipated release date for the four-CD edition is Jan. 23.
John Taylor expressed his excitement about revisiting The Power Station project, highlighting the unique collaboration that resulted in a fantastic sound. The band, which also featured Tony Thompson and Andy Taylor, made a significant impact with their music. The upcoming reissue aims to celebrate the band's legacy and showcase their remarkable work.
Formed in 1984 during a Duran Duran hiatus, The Power Station released their self-titled debut album in March 1985. Produced by Bernard Edwards, the album featured hits like "Some Like It Hot" and "Get It On," which both reached the Top 10. The band's success continued with their second album, "Living in Fear," released in 1996, although it was without John Taylor, who co-wrote most of the songs.
The upcoming reissue of The Power Station will not only include a remastered version of the original album but also a CD of single remixes, instrumentals, and recordings from their Live Aid performance. Additionally, previously unreleased live songs from a concert in Philadelphia will be featured in the box set.
