Incredible pressing! The LP has been repressed so no excuse not to buy it for $40 - $50. Well worth twice the price. Eva Cassidy, who died in 1996 at 33 years of age of skin cancer, was a great singer who had so much potential. This compilation of songs in a beautifully packaged set of LPs, was released in 1998, two years after she died. The set of songs showcase Cassidy's voice, which is a beautiful soprano with a bit of huskiness to it that just melts in your years. Her rendition of 'Fields of Gold' by Sting is mesmerizing. She carries the melancholy tone throughout with a gentleness that brings the listener to tears. 'Wade in the Water' showcases her gospel pipes as she sings it with authority and strength. And then after she pulls at your strings with 'Autumn Leaves', she jazzes it up with 'Wayfaring Stranger' and man does she it bring it! I mean, you can't stop from standing up and moving to the rhythm! Her vocals leap from the record with a clarity that you haven't heard before. Every string of the guitar is apparent. The first LP ends with Eva's cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'Songbird'. I love Christy McVie's original version, but man, Cassidy makes it her own. Again the soundstage is magnificent and the instruments are clear while the bass is gentle but deep. This is just the first LP! I can go on about this record, but this is a must have in anyones record collection. Definitely a demo disc to show off your equipment. A solid 10 across the board!referencing Songbird (2×12", 45 RPM, Compilation, Deluxe Edition, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) G8-10220
Easily the best sounding pressing of this collection. File under essential.referencing Songbird (2×12", 45 RPM, Compilation, Deluxe Edition, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) G8-10220
Beautiful! Sounds so clean and smooth. But Eva could sing into a tin can and it would sound clean and smooth. What an amazing voice!referencing Songbird (2×12", 45 RPM, Compilation, Deluxe Edition, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) G8-10220
Haven't listened to any other versions on vinyl but this sounds fantastic. Very quiet and clean.referencing Songbird (2×12", 45 RPM, Compilation, Deluxe Edition, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) G8-10220
Wonderful Records. Very quiet pressing. I do hear a significant improvement over the std 180g 33rpm version. It‘s a bit as if Eva is standing in the room.referencing Songbird (2×12", 45 RPM, Compilation, Deluxe Edition, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) G8-10220
Can anyone provide information on how this edition sounds? Is the remastering well done without dynamic compression? Is the pressing quiet?
Many thanksreferencing Songbird (2×12", 45 RPM, Compilation, Deluxe Edition, Remastered, Stereo, 180g) G8-10220
Who cut these I wonder? And how does it compare to the Kevin Gray cut?- I have the 1998 first vinyl release of this and there is bad sibilance on it, does anyone have both the 1998 copy and this 2014 version for comparison?
