TRACK LISTING

On August 7th, 2007, Epic/Legacy Recordings celebrated the 20th anniversary of this groundbreaking album with the release of a new expanded edition of Surfing with the Alien. This meticulously restored two-disc set includes the newly remastered album and a previously never-before-seen live show filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1988. It also features new liner notes written by Joe and special deluxe packaging featuring photos, notes and other memorabilia from Joe's personal archive. On Aug 18, 2007, Joe returned to Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco to celebrate the 20th anniversary and played the album to a room full of contest winners in the same place it was recorded.

On Nov 29th, 2019, Sony/Legacy released a Deluxe version in conjunction with Record Store Day, with new artwork and a bonus disc, Stripped — the Backing Tracks, featuring the songs with all guitar solos removed. This version received a wider digital release on Jan 14, 2020.
