Daft Punk is getting ready to give two of its live albums the vinyl treatment. The "Get Lucky" duo plans to reissue Alive 1997 and Alive 2007 as vinyl LPs along with a few extras.
According to Modern Vinyl, the 1997 live album was last pressed in 2001, while 2007 was never put out as a vinyl record. The version of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" on the latter album earned the duo a Grammy in 2009 for Best Dance Recording. Check out the full tracklist below.
1997 was recorded at a live gig in Birmingham, England. 2007 was recorded at a show in the French duo's native Paris. No word on a U.S. release date, but it is slated to drop Dec. 19 in France, Consequence of Sound noted.
The group's 2013 release, Random Access Memories, was a powerhouse album that topped the charts in most countries. Much of the album's success can be attributed to the highly successful track featuring Pharrell Williams: "Get Lucky." The record secured awards for Album of the Year and Best Dance/Electronica Album at the Grammys.
"... This is Daft Punk conjuring the musical era that first inspired them, when disco conquered the world with handcrafted grooves and prog-rock excess magnified emotions in black-lit bedrooms," Rolling Stone wrote about the release, giving it four out of five stars. "At times, the album is a victim of its own ambition. But it wouldn't be half as awesome a ride if it had aimed any lower."
