Seal (Deluxe Edition) unveils ten previously unreleased recordings, offering alternate versions of album tracks like “Newborn Friend” and “Don’t Cry,” as well as a haunting take on “Dreaming In Metaphors” that features Seal alone at the piano. The Deluxe Edition collects additional gems from that era, including the B-side “Blues In E,” a cover of Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like An Eagle” from the Space Jam soundtrack, and a version of “Manic Depression” that Seal recorded with guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck for Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. The Blu-ray will feature exclusive Dolby Atmos and PCM 24/96 High Resolution Stereo mixes of the album

Love this guy
Seal has one of the most iconic and beautiful voices of any artist and I own pretty much everything he has ever released. This is as good as any.
P**.
Great second album
On the negative side it is overpriced for a three fold standard size cardboard release. The remastering is noticeable but weak. The additional related material from the Seal 2 sessions is well worth having. Prayer for the dying instrumental and 2 mixes of it are not included. The artwork and linear notes are good. £37-99 is too much to charge for the audio and illustrative content. Should have been £27-99 at the most. Shame the vinyl was not added to create a box set the same as Seal 1. Definitely worth buying if you are an avid follower of Seal.
