On July 12, 2024, The Gaslight Anthem released History Books (Expanded Edition), available now on their own Rich Mahogany Recordings label via Thirty Tigers. The album showcases a brand new mix of The Gaslight Anthem's acclaimed 2023 return to action.
The album also contains a previously unreleased rendition of “Little Fires” featuring Bully (aka singer, songwriter, and guitarist Alicia Bognanno) as well as four tracks initially found on this spring’s History Books - Short Stories EP, including the band’s anthemic take on Billie Eilish’s 3x RIAA Platinum-certified breakthrough single, “Ocean Eyes,” a new version of longtime fan favorite, “Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts,” and stripped-down acoustic performances of History Books highlights “Positive Charge” and “History Books.” A limited 7” vinyl release of History Books - Short Stories was also released.
