An Audiophile Go-To! The Record You Grab When You Want To Show Off Your System! All-Time Classic Performances And Recordings By All-Time Great Female Singers Each Track Selected By Acoustic Sounds Owner Chad Kassem Lacquers Cut By Kevin Gray Pressed At Quality Record Pressings On 180-gram vinyl Packaged In A Gatefold, Deluxe, Stoughton Tip-On Jacket Liner Notes By Michael Fremer
I've been doing this (cherry picking great recordings for reissue) for a long time, and I think I've got a good idea of what audiophiles like to hear. This is all of your female vocal demo cuts in one place.'' - Chad Kassem, Acoustic Sounds owner
Female vocalists have forever been celebrated by audiophiles and music lovers alike. Whether the delivery is delicate or bombastic, a great female vocal well-recorded is just so sensuous. It's the genre that most often typifies the potential of hi-fi and what it can do to engage our emotions. It's no wonder the hallways of any hi-fi show will be resonating with the sounds of sparsely-arranged recordings of great women singers. It's the genre that best shows off the systems that manufacturers and dealers are trying to sell.
Now, you can have all of those best demo tracks on one record. Show stoppers by Julie London, Diana Krall, Rickie Lee Jones, Nina Simone, Janis Ian, Phoebe Snow, Jennifer Warnes, Dusty Springfield, Shelby Lynne and many more. Every single track is an audiophile demo classic. Drop the needle and drop your friend's jaw!
Michael Fremer, of AnalogPlanet.com and Stereophile Magazine, walks you through each track and its historic place with very through and entertaining liners.
Plating and pressing was done at Quality Record Pressings.
