LINER NOTES
LANGUAGE
One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) marks twenty years of THE DARKNESS's gold-selling second album, released in November 2005, on four CDs. It came out on 28 November 2025, alongside the original album on coloured vinyl and on a single CD. Justin and Dan Hawkins wrote the album, and Roy Thomas Baker produced it.
The first CD adds B-sides, remixes and single versions to the album, and the second holds the band's show at the NEC in Birmingham on 19 February 2006, previously unreleased and newly mixed by Dan Hawkins. The third collects demos and rough mixes, and the fourth the Whitfield Street rough mixes. Dan Hawkins recalls the sold-out night and says the demos were thought to be lost for good, and he pays tribute to Roy Thomas Baker. Sixty-five tracks in all.
