About this deal

Processing file: [12. Norah Jones - One Flight Down (Alternate Version – The Allaire Sessions).aucdtect] What we are talking about here is quality, with a capital ‘Q’ – examples that come to mind might include the cut of a Saville Row suit, the brilliance of a Tiffany diamond, or the craftsmanship of the burr walnut dash and hand-stitched leather trim in a Bentley motor car. You don’t have to be able to afford these things, or even desire them, to appreciate the work and artistry than has gone into making something as good as it can be. Featuring – Adam Levy, Adam Rogers (2), Bill Frisell, Brian Blade, Dan Rieser, Jenny Scheinman, Jesse Harris, Kenny Wollesen, Kevin Breit, Lee Alexander, Rob Burger, Sam Yahel, Tony Scherr

Norah Jones / The Vinyl Collection: seven-LP audiophile box set Norah Jones / The Vinyl Collection: seven-LP audiophile box set

We took a look at the vinyl box set, or Norah Jones: The Vinyl Collection, to give it its full title… All discs pressed by Quality Record Pressings The first thing to point out is that the box weighs a ton. It’s extremely heavy thanks to the 200gsm vinyl that all seven records have been pressed on ( Little Broken Hearts is 2xLP). To put that in some perspective, that’s weightier than each Beatles stereo vinyl LP (‘only’ 180gsm), and makes your average 1980’s vinyl feel like a flexi-disc. Processing file: [09.

When the vocal goes on highligjt, it's clear that her voices just come right in front of you on AP and her voice may even reach on your hearts. it's deeper with a texture. FILE "06. Norah Jones - Something Is Calling You (First Sessions Outtake - Tabla Version).flac" WAVE I've never been a fan of Norah Jones. Just a few months ago, I reluctantly obtained AP edition of this album. Before re-selling, I played the album and found SQ amazing. So kept it under my wings. The very same youtuber mentioned it's hard to tell the difference but there are a few differences between the two.

As one youtuber described it is more "analytical" and at the same time it is more relaxed.

I don't know if he really didn't see or he didn't want to tell the fact. anyway he uses the much better system than I do. He must be able to see the difference. whatever.... Now, 20 years later, Norah decided to release the Allaire version of the album. “It’s been a bit like time traveling to some alternate universe of the album that nobody ever heard,” she says. “When I approached Craig to tell him about it, he suggested we ask Tony Maserati to ‘balance’ the recordings. This brought my vocal to the front more and I can finally hear my little 22-year-old self trying new things and fitting into the music around me just fine. Re-visiting these sessions after listening to them only once in the last 20 years has been a lovely surprise. I’m so glad to finally re-unite with Craig and get a chance to finish what we started together. I learned a lot from him, and I always think of that time upstate as a sort of dreamy fantasy, and I still get that feeling when I listen to these recordings.” Lundvall loved what he heard and signed Norah as a Blue Note artist, and she began to prepare to record her debut album. “Cassandra Wilson’s New Moon Daughter had been a favorite album of mine and was a big inspiration for the kind of record I wanted to make,” Norah writes. “Since I loved the instrument choices (beautiful slide and acoustic guitars) and the production, I asked Bruce if I could meet with Craig Street, who produced it. Craig and I met a few times and got along really well. He liked the demos and said we should put those out as the record or use most of them, but I was really excited to explore a slightly different vibe, one I knew he could help me find.” It will be reissued as two multi-disc deluxe editions (3CD and 4LP vinyl) that offer the following content:When it comes to the Piano sound. it's clear which has more realistic sound. AP is clear winner on this part. Like a vocal. the piano on AP has a rich and textured bass. but it also depends on the taste. If you're a follower of KG remaster and cutting and appreciate maximum dynamics of recordings, AP is hard to beat. Norah Jones’ 2002 debut album Come Away With Me is to be reissued for its 20th anniversary, in April. Processing file: [06.

We loved the small details. Even the outer protective transparent bags that each record comes in, have little perforated edges at the top with tears off easily allowing you to remove the record easily, without having to take a pair or scissors or scapel to it (see video below). Processing file: [08. Norah Jones - What Am I To You (Alternate Version – The Allaire Sessions).aucdtect]Jesus, I'm just having the first playthrough now, just finished "Come Away With Me" on the first original record. I only have a 2015 European BlueNote to compare it to, but this is a really really wonderful pressing. It's Pallas, so I had high expectations, but it's the mastering mix I think that really transcends it, they've done an amazing job. The voices and mids on strings and even lower notes on the double bass are more prominent, it's not in your face in any way, it's just so beautifully balanced, and feels even more personal than my previous copy (which I still thought was pretty damn good for a standard pressing). 45 RMP Audiophile said in his review he thought this copy was more analytical than the Analogue Productions which I found interesting. It is incredibly precise but still sounds wonderfully musical.
