Seal - Seal (Deluxe Edition, 4CD + 2LP, Remastered)

Seal took the world by storm in 1991 when "Crazy" - the lead single from his self-titled debut album - cracked the Top 10 in the U.S., U.K., and across Europe. In the singer-songwriter's native U.K., the album debuted at #1 and later won Best British Album at the Brit Awards. Three decades later, Seal's songs continue to resonate across multiple generations of music fans. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) also recently announced that sales for Seal have reached five million copies, officially granting the album quintuple platinum status.

Seal's landmark 1991 debut is now reissued as a 4-CD/2-LP deluxe edition, packaged in a 12"x12" hardcover book that includes rare photos and liner notes by prominent music scribe Jim Farber. The Deluxe Edition introduces a newly remastered version of the original album on CD and a double-LP with an etching on the final side.

Two CDs boast an extensive selection of rare recordings from the era, including a disc of rarities featuring "premix" versions of six album tracks. These versions featured early mixes that were available briefly on early pressings before they were replaced by original producer Trevor Horn's final mixes. The collection also showcases many of the incredible dance remixes created for album singles, including standouts like William Orbit's dub mix for "Killer" and the Giro E Giro Mix for "The Beginning."

The fourth CD ends on a high note with a previously unreleased concert recorded at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, on December 16, 1991. Recorded as his fame was exploding, the show captures Seal channeling the audience's energy while working through every song from his debut, plus the B-side "A Minor Groove," a cover of "Hey Joe," and more.
