Lenny Kravitz’s first five albums – 1989’s Let Love Rule, 1991’s Mama Said, 1993’s Are You Gonna Go My Way, 1995’s Circus, and 1998’s 5 – will be honored with an extensive vinyl reissue campaign courtesy of Virgin/UMe, with each release appearing as a 180g 2LP-set. The reissues for Mama Said, Are You Gonna Go My Way, Circus, and 5 are all scheduled to drop in September 2018 while Let Love Rule will kick off its 30th anniversary in style in November. Four of the five double-LP reissues also feature exceptional non-album tracks, many of them appearing on vinyl for the very first time.

Each album in this series exhibits the ongoing evolution of Kravitz’s considerable talents as a multifaceted singer, songwriter, producer, and guitar player. Let Love Rule established the template for Kravitz’s exploratory nature as an artist and Mama Said continued the thread. The double-platinum Are You Gonna Go My Way shot to No. 1 in several countries and sealed Kravitz’s wide-ranging appeal. Circus continued Kravitz’s assent while 5 took Kravitz to even newer heights with the universal yearning of “Fly Away,” which topped the singles charts in the U.S. and U.K. and earned the artist a Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the double platinum album is available on vinyl for the first time ever complete with a pair of bonus tracks: Lenny’s hit cover of “American Woman,” from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and the non-LP B-side “Without You.”
