Mama Said: 20th Anniversary Edition

Kravitz‘s 1991 album, Mama Said, has been digitally remastered and expanded for a special Deluxe Edition. The 2CD adds 21 bonus tracks to the album‘s original line-up, including 15 previ-ously unreleased recordings from Kravitz‘s personal archive.
By 1991, a good part of the world was already under the spell of Lenny Kravitz‘s psychedelic brand of rock by way of his 1989 debut Let Love Rule. Now Kravitz was back with a groundbreaking album, Mama Said, a collection that took the listener on a musical journey filled with brutally honest recounts of love, failures, hope, spirituality and acceptance. It notably featured a resounding 7 singles, in-cluding several definitive Kravitz classics such as "Always On The Run" and "It Ain‘t Over Til It‘s Over".
Among the Deluxe Edition‘s previously unreleased recordings are several unfin-ished songs from the Mama Said album sessions, as well as home demos from late in the Let Love Rule era, which would later be finished for inclusion on Mama Said. Others, including "Riding On The Wings Of My Lord" and "Framed, Lying, Crying", would not be released in any form - until now. Also included is the previ-ously unreleased "It Ain‘t Over Til It‘s Over" remix 12" (sides A and B) and an unissued five-song live EP recorded in Rotterdam during the Mama Said tour. Official live and studio B-sides are also included, completing the commemo-rative reissue of this epic classic album.
