Before the upcoming reissue of Amy Winehouse's groundbreaking debut album "Frank" on Feb. 2, an exciting new video has been released featuring the lyrics of the album's famous track "In My Bed" and previously unreleased footage from Amy's original music video. Published under the UMR/Island label, the video combines unseen footage of Amy, who was only 19 at the time but already showed great potential from the very beginning, with translations of the lyrics in three different languages: French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. The reissued edition of the album will include hits like "Take the Box," "Stronger Than Me," and "F**k Me Pumps."

Additionally, there's more good news for Amy Winehouse fans. The second LP will feature the classic cover art of the album on the front, while two new photos taken by Valerie Phillips in 2003 will be unveiled on the second LP.
