Jamiroquai celebrates the 30th anniversary of The Return Of The Space Cowboy

Jamiroquai celebrates the 30th anniversary of The Return Of The Space Cowboy with vinyl reissue.

The second album from the acid jazz and funk collective fronted by vocalist Jay Kay,  will be reissued as a double-LP set in “moon grey” vinyl and includes Michael Gray’s Good Vibe Zone edit of Space Cowboy – which has never been released on a physical product.

The packaging has also been re-designed for this anniversary release including foil enhancement of the original cover design.

Out Of This World

The Return Of The Space Cowboy is the follow up album to the band’s huge 1993 debut, Emergency On Planet Earth. Released just one year later it was met with great critical and public acclaim. Certified Platinum in the UK, Japan and France, it achieved chart success in multiple countries and spawned the single Space Cowboy which remains one of their biggest tracks to date.

Its singles Half the Man and Stillness In Time reached No.15 and No.9, respectively, on the UK Singles Chart, while Space Cowboy and Light Years peaked at No.1 and No.6 on the US Dance Charts

For many, this album is defined by some of the most complex songwriting the band have ever produced and Jay Kay called it “one of our most creative and accomplished albums”.

On this 30th anniversary edition of the album Space Cowboy gets a modern dance makeover courtesy of DJ Michael Gray, shedding new light on the track and emphasising it’s already infectious groove.
