LateNightTales

In November 2003, a compilation of tracks selected by Jay was released as part of the successful LateNightTales compilation series. The album consists of a number of tracks that showcase some of the influences that go behind the sounds of Jamiroquai that we all love.

The album was re-released as a special edition in September 2005.

UK (2005 Re-Issue) release

On 26 September 2005 a special edition re-release of the LateNightTales compilation album together with new artwork was released by Azuli records (UK). They write...

"To celebrate the upcoming Jamiroquai World tour which visits everywhere from Manchester to Melbourne to Milan and plenty more cities in between, their converted Late Night Tales compilation has been re-released with new limited edition embossed artwork. This strictly limited run of the album is sure to be a winner with collectors and those that missed out the first time round."

"The funk driven, strings heavy and groove building selection provide a real insight into the band that has developed a worldwide fan base over the past decade. As you may expect from the Jamiroquai sound we know so well, it's crammed full of sweetness where tracks like the Pointer Sister's 'Happiness', sit alongside Marvin Gaye's unforgettable 'Here, my dear'. It's a selection that is both thoughtful and classically essential for any soul / jazz / funk / disco lover. It'll certainly have you wide awake with a smile on your face thorough those twilight hours."
