On 21 August 2012, Sony Music Japan announced that, for the 20th anniversary of Jamiroquai in 2013, it would remaster and reissue its first three studio albums – Emergency on Planet Earth (1993), The Return of the Space Cowboy (1994) and Travelling Without Moving (1996) – with a bonus CD with all the ‘B-Side material, live material & rarities’ of each album era of the band. Sony Japan appears to have abandoned the idea. Sony Music Europe took over the ‘remastered reissues’ project for the 20th anniversary of Jamiroquai in Ireland/UK, and set March 2013 release dates. Online boutiques in the US started selling on 19 March 2013. Double gatefold deluxe vinyl albums with bonus tracks were released on 25 March 2013 in the UK and on 26 March 2013 in the US.

Jamiroquai (
i/dʒəˈmɪroʊkwaɪ/) are a British funk and acid jazz band formed in 1992.[7] Fronted by lead singer Jay Kay, Jamiroquai were initially the most prominent component in the London-based funk/acid jazz movement, alongside groups such as Incognito, the James Taylor Quartet, and the Brand New Heavies. Subsequent albums have explored other musical directions such as pop, rock, and electronica.
Their best-known track, particularly in North America, is “Virtual Insanity“, which won four awards at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards as well as a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 40th Annual Grammy Awards.
