Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, MR. BIG's million-selling compilation album "Big, Bigger, Biggest! The Best Of Mr. Big", finally makes its long-awaited debut on vinyl, SACD and MQA-CD+CD set.
Spanning the band's most successful era, the collection includes global hits like "To Be With You", "Wild World" and "Just Take My Heart", alongside the high-energy tracks that cemented their reputation for world-class musicianship. Upon its original release, the compilation was a massive commercial success, moving over a million units and achieving multi-platinum and gold sales status across multiple territories.
The 180g one-step pressing double transparent light brown etched vinyl LP format comes in a gatefold sleeve, with new liner notes. Limited and numbered 3,000 pieces only, this special edition features a silent Side D with an exclusive custom etching based on original sketch designs by MR. BIG guitarist Paul Gilbert himself — a feature exclusive to this vinyl reissue.
The SACD hybrid multi-channel format includes new 5.1 mixes of "Wild World", "Colorado Bulldog", "Promise Her The Moon", "Nothing But Love" and "Seven Impossible Days", with new liner notes. It's compatible with all standard CD and SACD players.
The MQA-CD+CD set comes in a deluxe digipak, with new liner notes. This expanded edition features a wealth of original live content from the ten years leading up to the release of this album, including hard to find and previously unreleased live performances of the band's iconic hits "Addicted To That Rush" and "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind".
"Big, Bigger, Biggest! The Best Of Mr. Big" will be released worldwide on November 27, 2026. All formats are now available for pre-order on www.evo88.com.
