The reissue which arrives on October 11, feature the same tracklist as the 2004 release, including hits 'You're Beautiful', and 'Goodbye My Lover', and a range of previously unreleased songs. 

It will also feature tracks, 'Close Your Eyes', 'Standing All Alone', 'Dancing Days', 'Butterfly', and B sided 'Sugar-Coated'. These were recorded by Blunt during the 'Bedlam' era. This reissued 'Back To Bedlam' will also include demo versions of the tracks from the previous album. 

On the re-release, James Blunt said, “I’ve released seven studio albums, but ‘Back To Bedlam’ was the one people actually bought. So on its 20th anniversary, the record label and I thought we should repackage it with some early demos, and milk it for all it’s worth". 

He also added, “It was one of the biggest-selling albums of the ’00s, so here’s hoping it makes a dent in the ’20s'".
