Product description

Jamiroquai's debut studio album, Emergency on Planet Earth, is a groundbreaking masterpiece that embodies the spirit of acid jazz and funk. Released on 14 June 1993 under Sony Soho Square, this iconic album catapulted the British band to the top of the charts, reaching number 1 in the United Kingdom and gaining significant recognition worldwide.

Characterised by its unique blend of funk and jazz influences, Emergency on Planet Earth is an enduringly distinctive exploration of sound. Bookended by the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo, the album takes listeners on a sonic journey through 10 tracks, including the hit singles "When You Gonna Learn?" and "Emergency on Planet Earth". The latter, written by frontman Jay Kay, conveys a powerful environmentalist message, urging listeners to reconsider the consequences of modernisation.

With its eclectic mix of upbeat grooves and thought-provoking lyrics, Emergency on Planet Earth has become a classic of the acid jazz genre. The album's success can be attributed to the talented trio of Toby, Stuart, and Jay Kay, who formed Jamiroquai and brought their creative vision to life. Featuring a range of talented musicians, including Richard Edwards on trombone, the album is a testament to the band's innovative approach to music.

Emergency on Planet Earth has been widely acclaimed, with the album reaching the top 10 in several countries, including Switzerland, France, and Austria. Its impact extends beyond the charts, as it has become a staple of 90s music and a defining album of the acid jazz movement. With its infectious rhythms and socially conscious themes, Jamiroquai's debut album remains a must-listen for fans of funk, jazz, and beyond.

This 2022 Reissue Special Edition 30th Anniversary 2LP set is pressed on 180g Clear vinyl.

  • Disappointing Sound Quality

    yuzzotoafi64January 12, 2026United States🇺🇸

    Packaging is spot on but, being a Jamiroquai enthusiast, I've always been disappointed with the sound quality on many of their albums, and this one's no exception. It could do with some EQ adjustments to hit the right notes.

    Packaging is spot on, but as a Jamiroquai enthusiast, I've always been disappointed with the recording quality on most of their albums, and this one's no exception. It could use some EQ adjustments to sound just right.

  • Complete Tracks, Incredible Sound

    NEAVIJanuary 2, 2026United States🇺🇸

    Amazing...this pressing sounds incredible! I don't own the original 1993 version, but I can't picture it sounding much better than this. Plus, it's the ONLY other place you can find the complete versions of "When you gonna Learn", "Too young to Die", & "If i like it, I do it".

  • Solid Repress, Minor Flaws

    rwnomi6767December 21, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The packaging is super nice and the quality is top-notch. The only downside is that some tracks have slightly shorter runtimes and track A2 has a bit of distortion. Apart from that, it's a solid repress!
