The Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals – Various Artists (200g Vinyl 2LP)

Product Description

New 22-Track Audiophile Sampler of Classic Performances by All-Time Great Female Singers!

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 in one sublime 22-track collection. 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. Michael Fremer, of Analog Planet and Stereophile Magazine, walks you through each track and its historic place with very thorough and entertaining liners to boot. This 200g 2LP edition was cut by Kevin Gray, plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings and comes housed in a gatefold Stoughton tip-on jacket.
