| Sananda Maitreya today releases ‘Juvenilia: The Columbia Years’, a remastered and beautifully packed 6-LP box set which traces his artistic evolution, from breakthrough to reinvention, and from redemption to defiance. The box set presents his first four classic albums on coloured 180-gram vinyl: ’Introducing The Hardline According To Sananda Maitreya’ (1987), ‘Neither Fish Nor Flesh: A Soundtrack Of Love, Faith, Hope & Destruction’ (1989), ‘Symphony Or Damn: Exploring The Tension Inside The Sweetness’ (1993) and ‘Vibrator’ (1995). Featuring timeless songs such as ‘Sign Your Name’, ‘Delicate’, ‘She Kissed Me’ and ‘Holding On To You’, the box set also includes restored artwork, archive visuals and new liner notes written by Sananda himself. Sananda says, “These albums represent the journey of a young artist finding his voice – bold, vulnerable, and unafraid to challenge the form.” ‘Juvenilia – The Columbia Years’ is now available to buy HERE. This box set is the culmination of a campaign which has celebrated an artist of generational talent, visionary creativity and unorthodox artistry. The remastered versions of ’Introducing The Hardline According To Sananda Maitreya’ and ‘Neither Fish Nor Flesh: A Soundtrack Of Love, Faith, Hope & Destruction’ have been released on digital formats, with the remaining two records following soon: ‘Symphony Or Damn: Exploring The Tension Inside The Sweetness’ (on Sananda’s birthday, March 15th) and ‘Vibrator’ (April 13th). Sananda Maitreya also recently released the raw and electrifying live album ‘SMNUK’25! (Shepherd’s Pie)’, which was recorded at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire during his 2025 UK tour with his band The Sugar Plum Pharaohs. It was released alongside a full concert film of the same show, which can be seen HERE. He revisited his fascinating career to date with an in-depth cover feature with Classic Pop. ‘Juvenilia – The Columbia Years’ revisits the recordings that first revealed Sananda Maitreya as a singular and uncompromising voice, unmistakable and one of a kind. |
