Come On and Love Him: Iconic Lenny Kravitz LP to Be Expanded

August 20, 2013 By Mike Duquette 4 Comments

Lenny Kravitz Are You Gonna Go My Way 20Lenny Kravitz's third album, Are You Gonna Go My Way - which spawned a monster hit in the Hendrix-ian/Prince-like title track - is getting the double-disc reissue treatment for its 20th anniversary in September.

Are You Gonna Go My Way established Kravitz as a successful R&B-rocker around the world; the title track was not only a No. 1 Mainstream Rock hit in the States, but a Top 5 U.K. hit. Follow-up singles "Believe" and "Heaven Help" were also successful.

The deluxe edition of Are You Gonna Go My Way features a wealth of rare and unreleased material, including 10 non-LP B-sides (including acoustic tracks and the tune "Spinning Around Over You," released on the soundtrack to Reality Bites in 1994) and a host of unreleased demo material. In addition to six rough tracks from the album sessions, the bonus disc in this set includes three demo tracks recorded by Kravitz for the English language debut album by French model/Kravitz paramour Vanessa Paradis, originally released in 1992. Of these tunes, one, "I May Not Be a Star," has never been heard in any format.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    I am very curious of the three demo tracks for Vanessa Paradis's album. That album is one of my favorites from the '90s.

    Let's hope they don't squash the levels this time again. Very sad when "Mama Said" lost its dynamic range on the double-disc reissue. (Not my review below, but the waveform comparisons are instructive and disheartening.)
