In November of 1983, just weeks after the release of her celebrated debut album Solid Colors, Liz Story performed a full-length concert at Boston's Wentworth Institute of Technology. The recording, captured on cassette tape by the college administrator who booked her, sat in a box for more than four decades.

On November 13th, 2026, Sony Music Entertainment releases the complete performance as Liz Story Live 1983. It is the only live performance preserved from this period in Story’s career. The recording captures the entire performance — forty-five minutes of Story's music and spoken introductions, including eight compositions from her 1983 debut, Solid Colors, and two that would appear on her subsequent 1985 album Unaccountable Effect. The release is timed to coincide with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Windham Hill Records, the label that first brought Story’s music to the world.
