Cher's classic 1995 album "It's a Man's World" is getting the deluxe re-release treatment, with remastered vinyl and compact disc editions that include additional discs containing a wealth of remixes.

Broadway World posted the press release for the remastered album, detailing that the album's fresh presentation "is available now as a special deluxe limited-edition vinyl box set that features a remastered version of the original 14-track UK album on 2 LPs, as well as a newly compiled double LP containing eleven rare remixes."

"The 4 LPs in the limited-edition box are each pressed on a different-colored vinyl (red, blue, green and yellow)," the release goes on to note. "The box includes an exclusive, numbered lithograph of an iconic photograph of Cher. The D2C version, sold via Cher's official site, features its own exclusive lithograph."

"The deluxe album is also available digitally and as a 2-CD set. The majority of the remixes are available digitally and on vinyl for the first time."

The release adds: "First recorded in London and released in 1995, 'It's A Man's World' rocketed to the top 10 in the UK where it was certified Gold."

"Long considered by Cher superfans as one of her best albums of all time, 'It's a Man's World' featured the singles 'Walking In Memphis,' 'One By One,' 'Not Enough Love In the World,' 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' and 'Paradise Is Here.'"

Four of those singles are given the remix treatment on the extra discs, which include four versions of "One by One," four different remixes of "Paradise is Here," two remixes of "Walking in Memphis," and the Trevor Horn remix of "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore."

The album itself comprises 14 tracks spread across two discs.

"AllMusic's Jose Promis praised the album as 'one of the singer's finest as well as one of her most overlooked and underappreciated works to date,'" the release said.

The deluxe limited edition of "It's a Man's World" was released July 14.
