Description

1984 SADE DIAMOND LIFE Portrait FR39581 1985 Pressing
This record is in M- condition.  The cover is VG+.  It is still in its original shrink wrap with signs that about 3 stickers have been removed (not harming the shrink.)  It has a hype sticker on the front advertising Sade as "The #1 New Artist World Wide." 
The various pressings, and there are many, have received mixed reviews. Of the pressings, some critics believe this one minimally rates the highest - though all rate high.
This recording was the first studio album for Sade, and it was widely popular.
Of this recording, critics who liked this pressing say, for example:
"Elegance, class, and sophistication barely begins to describe the sound of Sade. Her 1984 debut album, Diamond Life, shimmers with glamour and style, a sleek, catchy hybrid of pop, soul and jazz. The album was driven by an irresistible sound, mood music that crosses over to dance with excellent musicianship and clever lyrics."

No matter what one thought of the pressing, their evaluation began at a high level.
Other information about this record is in the specifications and short comment about its condition that appear at the beginning of this listing.
