Incredible presentation and gatefold quality compared to many of my recent anniversary releases from other bands. Diamond Life (1984), Promise (1985), Stronger Than Pride (1988), Love Deluxe (1992 ), Lovers Rock (2000), and Soldier Of Love (2010) have all been remastered at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. The group has had a remarkably stable line-up over more than three decades and comprises Sade Adu (vocals), Paul S.

This is the first release by Sade since releasing her 2018 singles “The Big Unknown” and “Flower of the Universe. Your Love Is King", "The Sweetest Taboo", "Never As Good As The First Time", "Paradise", and "Nothing Can Come Between Us" are the single versions. Announcing Sade’s box set entitled ‘This Far’ will be released worldwide on October 9th 2020, featuring remastered versions of all Sade’s six studio albums to date, on pure 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl.Once again Sade proves that she can dish out silky smooth soul-jazz with lots of catchy melodies, grabbing musical hooks and the fiery intensity of a slow burning ember. Her band, consisting of Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale, and Paul Spencer Denman revisited the legendary Abbey Road Studios to remaster her catalog with help from producer Mike Pela and mixing engineer Miles Showell.

I've noticed a lot of people say this about Sade's discography from the OGs to newer re-issues, so I assume that's intentional. I don't know how this is possible, but generally valid assessments of the quality of the pressings and the sound are hardly possible, in contrast to CDs. Wie bei sehr vielen Vinyl Pressungen festzustellen ist, gibt es in den selben Ausgaben fürchterliche wie hervorragende Pressungen. Sade’s Love Deluxe was a recent feature in our “The 20 Best Albums to Listen to While Staying Home” from the early quarantine days back in April. The band (Sade are a band, remember) consist of Sade (vocals), Stuart Matthewman (saxophone/guitar), Andrew Hale (keyboards), and Paul Spencer Denman (bass) and we are told that all four of them were “intimately” involved in the remastering process and were at Abbey Road with the band’s longtime producer Mike Pela to oversee the work.Hang On To Your Love" and "Smooth Operator" are similar to the single versions, but are in fact unique edits first released on this compilation. Showell apparently worked from hi-res digital transfers of the original stereo master mixes, taken from the original tapes. No additional digital limiting was used in the mastering process, so the six albums benefit from the advantage of extra clarity and pure fidelity, preserving the dynamic range of the original mixes for the very first time. Sony will next month release This Far, a Sade vinyl box set that collects the band’s six studio albums.

Played at wedding receptions or the trendiest of lounges, it hardly fails to deliver a pure chilled sexy vibe that gets bodies closer, conversations down to a whisper and eye contact locked on! All six of the band’s acclaimed albums: Diamond Life (1984), Promise (1985), Stronger Than Pride (1988), Love Deluxe (1992), Lovers Rock (2000), and Soldier Of Love (2010) are packaged into the beautifully finished, white case-bound box.However you choose to pronounce her name (it’s my understanding that it’s shar-DAY, only barely voicing the “r”), Sade is a unique musical talent. Duration of tracks is written different on labels and inside gatefold; actual duration on record is as per labels and listed here. This boxset features remastered versions of all of Sade’s studio albums to date, on pure 180-gram black vinyl – the first complete collection of their studio work up to the present day. Hand On To Your Love звучит Your Love Is King , в 1999 - Best For Love (MTV Music History) , 1999 - Best For Love (MTV Music History) и в 2001 - Music Legend, 2CD другие названия треков не сравнивал , но вот эти сразу попались . But after replacing the cheap paper inner covers with lined covers, cleaning them with a good carbon fiber brush was enough to be able to listen to great-sounding, flawless records.

There are four non-album B-sides from the first two Sade albums alone, and plenty of single edits and remixes that could have – should have – been collected on a ‘rarities’ set.Also, the sleeve is in amazing quality compared to a lot of flimsy and sticky sleeves released in the early 90's. I’m sure these remasters will sound great, but let’s try and squeeze between the massive twin elephants in the room; the lack of any bonus material and the fact that This Far isn’t coming out on CD.
