Little Feat's "Feats Don't Fail Me Now : Deluxe Edition" features the studio album newly remastered from the original multi track and two track stereo tapes. It also includes rare and unreleased alternate versions and outtakes from the album sessions. In addition, the CD set comes with an exclusive unreleased recording of Little Feat performing live in Paris in 1975.

A wealth of unreleased music is included in this new edition, including alternate versions of album tracks, early versions of songs destined for future albums, and an unfinished version of “Day At The Dog Races”.

The presence of any session recordings from "Feats Don't Fail Me Now" is a minor miracle. The studio where the band made the album, Blue Seas Recording Studio in Baltimore, was a converted barge that sank into the harbor in 1977. Until recently, the session tapes were believed to be lost.

The CD version of "Feats Don't Fail Me Now" includes a show recorded in Paris at L’Olympia in February 1975. The setlist leans heavily on songs from "Feats Don’t Fail Me Now" with “Skin It Back” and “Oh Atlanta", while also weaving in earlier classics like “Willin’” and “Fat Man In The Bathtub”.

On the same day as "Feats Don't Fail Me Now", June 14th, 2024, Rhino Records also releases "Live At The Rainbow 1975", recorded at the legendary Rainbow Theatre in London, UK.
