The New York trio’s 1996 studio album is getting a deluxe quadruple-vinyl edition this October<\/p>\n

De La Soul are set to reissue their 1996 album \u2018Stakes Is High\u2019 as an expanded deluxe vinyl edition for its 30th anniversary.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Set for release on 23rd October via A.O.I. Records and distributed by Chrysalis,\u00a0the reissue will feature the original album alongside 26 bonus tracks, including unreleased instrumental versions, alternate remixes and rare recordings. Physical editions include a 4LP box set, a 2CD release and a selection of exclusive vinyl variants.<\/p>\n

The additional material includes a sought-after J Dilla remix of \u2018Stakes Is High\u2019 featuring Mos Def and Truth Enola, along with a J Dilla alternate remix and rare tracks \u2018Chanel No. Fever\u2019\u00a0and \u2018I Can\u2019t Call It\u2019.<\/p>\n

Released in 1996, \u2018Stakes Is High\u2019 marked a transition for the Long Island trio of Posdnuos, Maseo and the late Trugoy. It was the group\u2019s first full-length album without longtime collaborator Prince Paul, while the J Dilla-produced title track introduced a new direction in their sound.<\/p>\n

Pre-orders for the anniversary edition are available now, with exclusive vinyl variants available through selected retailers. Find more information on De La Soul\u2019s webstore, and see a preview of the packaging below.<\/p>\n

The reissue arrives during a period of renewed activity for De La Soul, who recently joined Gorillaz on stage at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a performance of their \u2018Feel Good Inc\u2019 collaboration.<\/p>\n

In a March 2025 interview, Maseo revealed that he and Posdnuos had reunited with Prince Paul to begin work on a new De La Soul album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York
