Celebrate Half a Century of a Masterpiece

Celebrate 50 years of Stephen Bishop’s landmark debut album Careless with this definitive, deluxe anniversary edition pressed on stunning, limited-edition custom confetti splatter vinyl. Remastered by legendary mastering engineer Bernie Grundman, who mastered the original 1976 release. This is the ultimate collector's piece for audiophiles and longtime fans alike. For the first time ever, the album's iconic original cover artwork has been beautifully colorized. This definitive edition is available in two exclusive formats: a beautiful Standard Edition and a strictly limited Autographed Edition, hand-signed by Stephen Bishop.

Why This Edition is So Special

Originally issued without a gatefold, booklet, or liner notes, this expanded 50th Anniversary release brings fans closer to the music than ever before. The premium package includes an extensive, rare twenty page booklet filled with previously unseen photographs, archival materials, and Stephen Bishop’s first-ever liner notes for the album. Drawing directly from his personal archives, journal entries, and memories from that era, Stephen takes fans behind the scenes of the recording process and shares the intimate creative inspirations behind these timeless songs.

50 Years in the Making: The Lost Tracks

Originally released in 1976, Careless introduced the world to Bishop's brilliant songwriting, featuring timeless classics like “On and On,” “Save It for a Rainy Day,” “Never Letting Go,” and “Careless.” This special anniversary edition also features two bonus tracks, “Back Again” and “I Don’t Know You Anymore.” Written during the original Careless era and seriously considered for the final track list, these songs never made the final cut...until now. After waiting half a century, they are finally ready to be heard.  Quantities are strictly limited for this initial anniversary pressing, and once it sells out, it is gone for good.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
