Sade Announces Vinyl Box Set of Their Complete Discography

Sade announces that they will be re-releasing their complete discography in a pure 180-gram, black vinyl box set titled This Far on October 9 via Sony Records. The album includes high resolution digitally remastered versions of all six of the band’s albums including Diamond Life (1984), Promise (1985), Stronger Than Pride (1988), Love Deluxe (1992), Lovers Rock (2000) and Soldier of Love (2010).

Remastering took place at the world renowned Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles, Pink Floyd and many others chose to record their music. According to the band’s website, “the elaborate, half-speed mastering process has produced exceptionally clean and detailed audio whilst remaining faithful to the band’s intended sound. No additional digital limiting was used in the mastering process, so the six albums benefit from the advantage of extra clarity and pure fidelity, preserving the dynamic range of the original mixes for the very first time.”

Additionally, the album will be packaged in a “beautifully finished, white case-bound box,” according to the band’s website, continuing, “the six album sleeves have been meticulously reproduced in exact detail with authentic paper and printing methods, perfectly replicated for the first time since their original release.”

According to Pitchfork, Sade was included in their “200 Best Albums of the 1980s” list. Sade’s Diamond Life album reached number 10 while their album Stronger than Pride came in at number 37.

Sade’s last release came in 2018 when they co-wrote and co-produced “Flower In The Universe” with Andrew Hale and Ben Travers  for the soundtrack. Prior to that, their last release was Soldier of Love in 2010.

The six album vinyl box set This Far can be pre ordered at the band’s website and is expected to ship Dec 2020.
