Mr. Big’s 《Big, Bigger, Biggest!》
The 1996 greatest-hits collection makes its SACD and vinyl debut with five new 5.1 mixes and a limited 3,000-copy One-Step 2LP edition
Mr. Big’s 1996 compilation 《Big, Bigger, Biggest! The Best Of Mr. Big》 is being reissued for its 30th anniversary in several physical formats, including SACD, MQA-CD+CD and vinyl. The worldwide release date is November 27, 2026, with pre-orders now open through evo88.
The new editions bring together some of the band’s best-known songs, including 《To Be With You》, 《Wild World》 and 《Just Take My Heart》, while also introducing the album to SACD and vinyl for the first time.
Hybrid SACD with Five New 5.1 Mixes
The SACD edition is a Hybrid Multi-channel SACD, allowing playback on both standard CD players and compatible SACD hardware.
Five tracks receive newly created 5.1-channel mixes: 《Wild World》, 《Colorado Bulldog》, 《Promise Her The Moon》, 《Nothing But Love》 and 《Seven Impossible Days》. The disc contains 16 tracks in total and also includes new liner notes.
The pre-order price is $25.98.
Limited One-Step 180g 2LP Edition
The vinyl version is presented as a 180g One-Step Pressing 2LP set, limited to 3,000 numbered copies worldwide.
The records are pressed on transparent light-brown vinyl and housed in a gatefold jacket with new liner notes. Side D does not contain music; instead, it features a custom etching based on an original sketch by guitarist Paul Gilbert.
The One-Step process reduces the number of intermediate plating stages normally used in vinyl manufacturing, shortening the path from lacquer to final pressing.
The edition is priced at $49.98.
MQA-CD+CD with Bonus Live Recordings
A separate MQA-CD+CD edition comes in deluxe digipak packaging and adds a bonus disc of archival live material.
The live recordings were captured at locations including Irvine Meadows in 1991, The Warfield in 1992, Koseinenken Hall in 1993, Budokan in 1996 and a Channel V performance. The bonus material includes live versions of tracks such as 《Addicted To That Rush》 and 《Green-Tinted Sixties Mind》.
The main MQA-CD contains 16 tracks, with some material presented in non-MQA format. The set is priced at $20.98.
A Physical-Media Focused Anniversary Edition
《Big, Bigger, Biggest!》 was originally released in 1996 and became one of Mr. Big’s most successful compilations, documenting the band’s classic era with Eric Martin, Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheehan and Pat Torpey.
The 30th-anniversary edition goes beyond a straightforward reissue by giving each physical format a distinct audiophile angle: multichannel SACD, limited One-Step vinyl and an MQA-CD package with archival live material.
All three editions are scheduled for worldwide release on November 27, 2026.
