jheis Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Due out today. 20th anniversary edition with four new tracks. http://www.shoutfactorystore.com/prod.aspx?pfid=3219001 James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 James, I just saw that in an email from Amazon! I wonder how it'll compare sonically to the original release. Looks like Shout Factory is strictly digital, so no LP on this one. You gettin' it? BTW, have you checked out The Last Record Store on Mendocino, just North of the JC? Great shop!

jheis Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 "Digitally recorded and remastered from the original analog tapes,..." So, no doesn't sound like there's going to be a vinyl release. I read that some of the tracks are reordered. Apparently the original order was set up for the time constraints of the LP. I'll probably get it - eventually - once the price drops. I have a hard time forking over 20 bucks for a CD. Yeah, I know The Last Record Store (I think they used to be at 4th & E), but haven't been in there in a while - tends to lighten the wallet too much. [*-)] James Check that. Apparently there is a LP version. I just found a "Soundstage" review: http://www.soundstage.com/gold07.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 James, I think that review compares the original '86 release with a '96 release. I don't see mention of this latest 2007 offering, or the "prviously unreleased" songs it contains. Am I missing something? I do have an original vinyl pressing.

thebes Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 If you like that one check out "Tower of Song, the Songs of Leonard Cohen. This is a compilation album and includes Don Henley doing "Everybody Knows", Sting and the Chieftains singing "Sisters of Mercy" , Bonos "Hallelujah" is killer, Susan Vega raises goosebumps with "Story of Issac and of course, Wilie Nelson with "Bird on A Wire" . Also don't pass up Jennifer Warnes "The Well". I especially love her cover of Tom Wait's "Invitation to the Blues" Two nights ago I tossed on a minty lp of hers called "Shot Through the Heart". You'll lover her version of "Don't Make Me Over". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Available on vinyl? I know The Well is available on vinyl. Original pressings go for BIG bucks on eBay, but they've recently reissued it on 180g vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Famous Blue Raincoat is itself famous as an audiophile-approved disc. Of course, I just like the music. Jennifer is one of my favorite female vocalists (kd lang is right up there, too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know - I just followed a link from Jennifer Warnes' site. I haven't seen any reference to a vinyl version other than the off-hand remark in the review. I assumed he was talking about the new release - could be wrong - won't be the first time. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Update: I ran across info that says the remastered version of Famous Blue Raincoat will be available on vinyl, in both 33-1/3 and 45 rpm! Here's the link. Looks like next January? Cisco is putting it out. Should be killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 HERE is the info on the 3-disc 45 rpm vinyl release, scheduled for March! $80! Woo hoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
