Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' 'Naturally' is getting a remaster and vinyl repress

Dylan Tarre

Recently revealed by Daptone Records is the remastering of Naturally, the second album by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, in honor of its 20th anniversary. The remastered edition will be made available on May 2, 2025, coinciding with what would have been Sharon Jones’ birthday.

The release will come with a new vinyl pressing, featuring a remastered 2xLP that includes instrumental versions of the original tracks. They'll be three variants on offer: standard black, clear, and orange.

Upon its original release, "Naturally" resonated with soul music fans of all ages, and it achieved massive success for an independent record, selling 200,000 copies and gathering millions of streams over the years for tracks such as “How Long Do I Have to Wait for You?” and the group’s interpretation of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land.”

 “Naturally altered the musical landscape of the era, eclipsing imitators and the soulfully challenged, wholesale. It made Daptone a household name, helped open doors for many musicians and family who have gone on to do remarkable things, and sparked a renaissance that is still vibrating today. A testament to Sharon Jones’ legacy as the undisputed, reigning Queen of heavyweight soul.”  - Press Release
