Legacy editions of Jeff Buckley
« on: 15 Sep 2004, 10:51 am »
Columbia celebrated the 10 year anniversary of "Grace" with a Legacy Edition----a remastered CD of Grace, a CD of B sides and a DVD of the "Making of 'Grace'" & 4 or 5 videos. I bought mine for $25.

The one song (Forget Her) that was slated for inclusion on "Grace" but bumped at the last minute is really good--You can see the video on the Jeff Buckley site.

Funny.  I just bought the vinyl version of Grace that is finally back in print again.  $19.99 for 180gm at DCCBlowout.com

Sure beats the SILLY prices it was going for on ePay.  Oi.

I didn't realize the Simply Vinyl version EVER went OOP???  Or maybe I'm thinking of other SV LP's???
There was also a domestic version from Sony/Columbia but I don't know if they press that any more.

BTW, I'm unsure about Better Records' marketing---he describes "Grace" as "I'm not a fan but perhaps you are..."  Seems like, even if he doesn't like the LP, he could at least find something neutral or positive (or interesting) to say.
Compare that to Simply Vinyl's info--"It’s terrible that Jeff died so young as on the evidence of “Grace” he was heading towards a long critically and commercially successful career. “Grace” has already become a critic’s fave in just five years and is regularly featured in many year-end favourite album lists. His multi-octave voice is incredibly distinctive both on his own superb material and on the covers featured on the album, namely “Lilac Wine”, “Corpus Christi Carol” and Leonard Cohen‘s “Hallelujah”. Amazingly the album only reached a lowly No.149 in the US charts and failed to chart at all in the UK , making it extremely rare on any sort of vinyl."
