News

Daft Punk’s ‘Homework’ and ‘Alive 1997’ will be reissued on vinyl this month. 

The duo’s 1997 debut LP, ‘Homework’, and a 45-minute live performance recorded at Q Club in Birmingham that same year have been repressed and will be released via EMI this Thursday, 25th February. 

‘Homework’ features some of Daft Punk’s most iconic tracks, including ‘Da Funk’, ‘Around The World’, ‘Revolution 909′ and ‘Rollin’ & Scratchin’.  ‘Alive 1997’ was recorded on the duo’s first ever European tour, and was originally reissued in 2014. 

The news comes just days after Daft Punk announced that they were splitting up after 28 years in the business.
