Sananda Maitreya reveals JUVENILIA: The Columbia Years, a 4LP boxset bringing together his first four groundbreaking albums, originally released between 1987 and 1995.
Set for release on 6 February 2026, JUVENILIA marks the first time Introducing The Hardline, Neither Fish Nor Flesh, Symphony Or Damn and Vibrator have been remastered and presented together on premium 180g vinyl, complete with restored artwork and new liner notes by Sananda.
Produced in collaboration with Sony Music UK, Music On Vinyl and TreeHouse Publishing, Sananda Maitreya’s JUVENILIA: The Columbia Years, pays tribute to a pivotal creative era that helped redefine the sound and spirit of modern soul, pop, and rock in the late 1980s and 90s.
Sananda Maitrey said: “These albums represent the journey of a young artist finding his voice: bold, vulnerable, and unafraid to challenge the form. It feels beautiful to finally present them together, in the spirit they were born”.
Each album comes housed in a faithfully recreated sleeve, accompanied by newly written liner notes and visual material from Sananda’s personal archive.
