JAMIROQUAI 20TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUES

2013 marks the 20th anniversary of Jamiroquai’s first album, ‘Emergency on Planet Earth’, and its first single released by Sony (‘When You Gonna Learn’).

To celebrate this milestone, Sony Music is proud to reissue the first three albums, ‘Emergency On Planet Earth’, ‘The Return of The Space Cowboy’, and ‘Travelling Without Moving’. These albums launched one of the UK’s most successful and innovative artists, and continue to define the funk and acid house genres.

Each album has been entirely remastered and comes with a bonus disc of B-sides, live performances, and rarities, including unreleased BBC archive material. Each six-panel digipack house two CDs and a 20-page booklet, featuring lyrics and a 2,000-word essay on the album, written by Jay Kay.

All three albums will be released in Ireland on Friday 8th March.

I have everything Jamiroquai has put out and I doubt these "remastered" discs could sound any better than what I own; throwing a bone of a bonus on each disc, I'll pass.

I'll be buying these! I love remasters.

Everytime I say, nah I don't need it you suggest I get and the UPS man comes to my door. New Years resolutions, I'm not buying because David says I should. I swear I going to stick it..... making sure my fingers are crossed behind back.

Cinny? You stay out of this!

Seriously though....Return Of The Space Cowboy needed to be remastered.The sound quality isn't that great,at least not on the CD that I have.

If they offer it via iTunes maybe I will... damn New Years Resolution down the drain.

Actually I downloaded the DeBarge - "Time Will Reveal:" The Complete Motown Albums via iTunes, the remastering was masterful. Any type of CD box sets must have art work and be uniquely packaged if not, its a no go. I'll buy at iTunes which is usually half the price of hardcopy/retail.

do remasters really make that much of a difference to sound? I mean, when they remaster something, what exactly do they do?

Technically, a mastering session is called finishing, because each song on a CD receives the final adjustments that make it sound great on vinyl, CD, MP3 or radio. Each different playback medium requires its own special equalizing, balancing and compression to make the music clear and powerful for the listener. But I don't buy into the hype that all music requires to be remastered especially it recorded for CD. In many instances I think this is a stunt for you to purchase some shit over and over again... they can't make any money really off the junk they are selling now so they push established successful artist. I have I heard music remastered from vinyl to CD or MP3s sound heavenly yes, but I've heard some duds too. Rhino has a good rep on doing masterful remasterings.

thanks ms trina!

I hope I can preorder this through amazon's american site soon! I only own Dynamite.

I never cared for their stuff before "A Funk Odyssey". Not fast enough and too jazz sounding.

Yes! and that's exactly what makes their first three albums their best

oh and to make it clear, I DO enjoy the later albums as well, however, the magic from the beginning is missing on a lot of these

hopefully these will be on itunes

I guess you never heard their fourth album Synchronized.You would love that one.Alot of fast disco and retro-funk sounds on that one.

Wait a minute, unless i'm mistaken they've left off "Funktion", originally a bonus track from "Travelling Without Moving", that is a big shame!

FUNKTION was probably an US Bonus track only...

"Funktion" was a hidden track after "Do You Know Where You're Coming From" so maybe it's on there.

Disco should be every artist's goal. They shouldn't be allowed a recording contract if they don't make it.
