The Return of the Space Cowboy ist das zweite Album der Band Jamiroquai. Es wurde 1994 veröffentlicht.

Information

Bassist Stuart Zender does not appear on the album version of the song "Space Cowboy", but does appear on the single version, and the "Stoned Again Mix". Zender's explanation of the events which led to his non-appearance on the title track refer to a situation that occurred during the last stages of the album recording. Jay Kay informed Zender that he wanted to record a new version of the title track (the single version had already been recorded and released). However Zender had scheduled some time off to patch up his relationship with model Milla Jovovich. Kay gave his blessing to take the time off, but when Zender returned he found that Kay had recruited a session bassist, known only as "Mr X", to play on the song. Mr X is credited on the liner notes.

Morning Glory wurde von Missy Elliott im Lied Bite Our Style (Interlude) des Albums Supa Dupa Fly [[Sample (Musik)|gesampelt]; Manifest Destiny im Lied Who Do U Believe des Albums Better Dayz von Tupac .

Track 10, "Morning Glory", was originally to be named a single, but the release was cancelled for unknown reasons. The only trace of the cancelled release lies in the US-only promo release of the single, which is a rare one nowadays. The release itself is the 'holy grail' of collecting for many fans, since two more tracks aside from the album version appear on the promo, all of the same length. The tracklisting of the promo itself is:

  1. Morning Glory - 6:24
  2. Morning Glory (Edit) - 6:24
  3. Morning Glory (Instrumental) - 6:24
