It’s out on August 25. In addition to the expected remastered version of the album and a glossy booklet with new photos and a new essay (from renowned writer/hip-hop journalist Nelson George), the reissue will include newly mixed versions of several album tracks and a capella versions of “Brown Sugar” and “Me and Those Dreamin’ Eyes of Mine.” There is also a “More Sugar” disc consisting of alternate mixes, radio edits and various 12″ remixes (including ones by DJ Premier and Dallas Austin).
