Description
Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, Mr. Big's fourth studio album, Hey Man, has finally made its long-awaited debut on vinyl for Record Store Day UK and Japan 2026, and is now followed by a new remaster on Hybrid Multi-channel SACD and double MQA-CD. A landmark release for the band, the album famously dominated the Japan Oricon chart for 16 weeks and remains a fan favourite for its blend of technical prowess and soulful songwriting.
The album features some of Mr. Big's most enduring tracks, including fan-favourites "Take Cover" and "Goin' Where The Wind Blows." It stands as a definitive tribute to the incredible musicianship of the band's classic lineup - Eric Martin, Pat Torpey, Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert - making this a must-have for fans and collectors.
The remastered double MQA-CD also features an expansive array of additional content. This includes the "I Love You Japan" demo, available for the first time the final mixes of "Friend of The Working Girl" and "Livin' Like A Dog" , and a selection of bonus tracks such as "Tears," "Swingin' Jam" and "Shoot The Moon." Rounding out the bonus material are live versions of "Take Cover," "Goin' Where The Wind Blows," and "I Love You Japan," alongside exclusive drum-only and minus-drum mixes of "Take Cover".
The double MQA-CD release of Hey Man is presented in a deluxe digipack sleeve.
