With 12 studio albums, four Grammy nominations, and more than 30 million worldwide album sales, acclaimed singer and songwriter Jewel has enjoyed notable career longevity since her entrance onto the scene 25 years ago. Her 1995 debut Pieces of You established Jewel as a bold, new voice of authenticity in the pop landscape. It was recorded in Neil Young's ranch and included Young's backing band, The Stray Gators. The 12x-platinum-selling album included many Top 10 hits, including "Who Will Save Your Soul," "Foolish Games," and the platinum-selling single, "You Were Meant For Me."
On February 15, Craft Recordings will celebrate Jewel's landmark debut with a new 2-LP reissue. Keeping with the long-out-of-print original pressing, the new version will include five bonus tracks that were originally released as single B-sides. The lacquers for this edition were cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and the discs were pressed at Memphis Record Pressing. Wile the standard, black vinyl version will be available wherever records are sold, Barnes and Noble will carry an exclusive, limited blue vinyl edition. Meanwhile, there's also a CD version that was released on January 18 that excludes the bonus tracks.

Vinyl-only bonus tracks? Interesting age we're living in.
Mark says
If the CD excludes bonus tracks that excludes me from re-buying it.
Bill Janowski says
If you already own this on both LP and CD (like me), there's nothing new here. I'm staying with my originals.
Johnathan says
Not expanding the original CD is the stupidest reissue decision of 2019 so far.
Beyond those bonus tracks, there are several re-recordings/radio remixes of the various singles (the versions with which the public is most familiar aren’t on the original LP or CD).
Larry Davis says
Aren't all these single remixes/rerecordings and B-sides on the hits CD Rhino put out?? I know there are CD singles too, imports, but yeah, not expanding the CD to a 2CD package with everything was pretty stupid and a missed opportunity...
