Joe Jackson, first studio album in four years, "Rain",
released in Europe on 28th January (29th January in North
America), will now be released by Rykodisc as a two-disc set,
including a bonus DVD directed and produced by Julie Gardner,
the recording engineer who recorded Joe's last two studio
albums. With a running time of over 40 minutes, the DVD will
feature recent live performance footage, behind-the-scenes
footage and a rare television interview.

"We decided to let Julie Gardner, who we've worked with for
years now," says Jackson, "to follow us around as we worked,
playing a live show, rehearsing, and just talking about
playing together and our long history together as band mates
and just mates."

The DVD will consist of three live songs that Jackson
performed at London's Islington Academy on 24th May 2007.
The songs performed include "Invisible Man", "Wasted Time"
and "Good Bad Boy", all of which appear on the forthcoming
studio album.

Other DVD features include a rare interview on the German
television show "Rockpalast", behind-the-scenes footage of
Jackson with fellow band members Dave Houghton (drums) and
Graham Maby (bass), footage of Jackson walking around
Berlin, pointing out some of his favourite things about the
city, plus footage of the band in the studio working on the
new album.

Jackson follows the release of the album with a rare London
concert at Shepherd's Bush Empire on Sunday 2nd March 2008.
