Background on this eBay item -
Out Of Print! Last Chance! Very Limited Supplies! All-Analog Remastering by Bernie Grundman and authorized by Jennifer Warnes herself! No true audiophile's collection is complete without this album!"The purity of sound that Cisco Music and Bernie Grundman have achieved with this 45rpm version of Famous Blue Raincoat 20th Anniversary Edition is shockingly perfect. I have never heard any version of Famous Blue Raincoat which sounds better... and I've heard them all. No caveats: This LP set is unbelievably gorgeous. I have been waiting two decades to hear it like this. Cisco's 45rpm edition is simply as good as Famous Blue Raincoat gets." - Jennifer Warnes
Cisco Music proudly presents Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat pressed on 45rpm 180 gram vinyl for the best sound possible! This deluxe 180g 45rpm reissue contains four previously unreleased songs and a VINYL EXCLUSIVE track of "A Singer Must Die", an all-analog demo recording with Jennifer playing an electric piano and singing the song in its entirety! (The original song does not include two verses.)
Packaged in a beautiful box, this set contains a 24-page booklet with rare photos from Jennifer's personal collection, photos previously unreleased, liner notes and lyrics (This is the first version of this album to include all the lyrics to the songs.)
Best known for such pop hits as the Oscar- and Grammy-winning duets "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" with Bill Medley, from the film Dirty Dancing, and "Up Where We Belong" with Joe Cocker, from the film An Officer and a Gentleman, Jennifer Warnes has earned her greatest acclaim for Famous Blue Raincoat, considered by many to be one of the best albums of the '80s.
Mastered by Bernie Grundman. Cut at 45 RPM! Pressed on HQ 180-gram virgin vinyl! Approved by Jennifer Warnes herself, who announced upon first listening, "That's it!!!"
"…This is a sumptuous sounding and beautifully presented three-record box. Cut at 45rpm, FBR now has an improved momentum and a deeper bass, which strengthens the rhythmic sense of Jenny's delivery as it propels us through these exceptional and well-loved Leonard Cohen songs. The transparency, delineation and overall presentation of her delicious vocals are verisimilitude in vinyl." Recording = 10/10; Music = 9.5/10 – Reuben Parry, Hi-Fi+, Issue 58
Famous Blue Raincoat 20th Anniversary Edition 45 RPM LP set features three LPs of quiet virgin vinyl, a 24-page 12" square booklet with complete lyrics, five bonus tracks (four from the Shout! Factory CD plus a Cisco exclusive analog demo recording of "A Singer Must Die," with one missing verse added and a breathtakingly upfront vocal by Jennifer), production notes and exclusive photographs, all packed in a beautiful box for excellent presentation and preservation of your investment.
The 45-RPM version of this great title is a much more refined and satisfying listening experience. Bass is deeper, highs glisten but aren't excessive and Jennifer's non-EQ'd voice becomes a "living presence" in your listening room. An important and much-loved record like Famous Blue Raincoat deserves to be heard exactly as the artist intended.
On Famous Blue Raincoat: The Songs of Leonard Cohen, Jennifer Warnes rearranged and reinterpreted some of Leonard Cohen's greatest songs for a unique album that remains the ultimate tribute to Cohen's music. It was greeted with rave reviews, and made numerous year-end best-of lists.
