    The remastered Mama Said CD is not close to the original 91 version. The new one is WAY compressed. Great album, tracks 1-4 are all incredible.

    I hope when he decides to reissue it he considers sound quality more than he did for that CD.

    I got a PopMarket email about Lenny's vinyl reissues the other day, and I just saw this on AntiMusic:

    "Lenny Kravitz has announced that he will launch a vinyl reissue series with the re-release of his first five albums in sync with the opening of a US tour next month.

    On September 21, the rocker will present 1991's "Mama Said", 1993's "Are You Gonna Go My Way", 1995's "Circus", and 1998's "5" on 2LP 180-gram black vinyl - in addition to individualized limited-edition, color variants - on the same day he kicks off US shows in Atlanta, GA in support of his forthcoming new record, "Raise Vibration."

    As part of its 30th anniversary, Kravitz's 1989 debut, "Let Love Rule", will follow on November 30, with all of the records except "Mama Said" set to feature non-album tracks, with many of them appearing on vinyl for the very first time.

    No two color-variants are the same: "Let Love Rule" is 50/50 semi-transparent brown and yellow; "Mama Said" is marbled white and gray; "Are You Gonna Go My Way" is transparent red and transparent purple; "Circus" is solid white and transparent clear; and, "5" is solid orange and solid white"

    Let Love Rule includes Blues For Sister Someone, Empty Hands, and Flower Child as bonus tracks

    Mama Said is being released for the first time with better fidelity as a double LP. 

    Are You Gonna Go My Way is celebrating its 25th anniversary and includes 8 bonus tracks as a second, 37-minute LP. 

    Circus includes 3 bonus tracks including “Another Life” from the album’s Japanese release, and two tracks previously available only on a limited edition 10”.

    5 will be released for the first time on double vinyl. The original LP was 13 tracks, but this will be the 15 track edition including American Woman and the non-LP B-side Without You.

    That's good news. Mama Said is a brilliant album!! Fields of Joy is one of my favourite songs of all time and the guitar solo by Slash in that is as good as it gets!
    Haven't listened to as much of his new stuff, but have always enjoyed his music and he is such a cool dude. His first 4 albums were stellar

    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    This is happening because I just bought an original Mama Said for way more money. You're welcome. ;)
    (Glad I did though - I have no interest in one that is extended to 2 LPs)

    Stoked to get Are You Gonna Go My Way.

    I love Mama Said, and out of all of the coloured versions, I think it looks the best too.
