Five individual titles on 200 Gram Vinyl plus Exclusive Bonus Album of 'Covers' Classics! Housed in a Deluxe Textured-Paper Sturdy Box that feels like Linen! Re-Mastered from the Original Source by Kevin Gray! Pressed at Quality Record Pressings! Limited Audiophile Edition! Norah Jones is the rare artist who has combined widespread critical acclaim with immense commercial success, winning nine Grammy Awards and selling 40 million albums in just a decade, while collaborating with artists from across the spectrum from jazz to hip hop, rock to country. Her pitch perfect voice combined with her choice of the finest musicians along with top-flight producers such as Arif Mardin, Danger Mouse and Jacquire King have made her releases go-to demonstration discs for audiophile stereo systems. Now ten years into her already impressive career, she is releasing her fifth studio album Little Broken Hearts on May 1, 2012 produced by and co-written with five-time Producer of the Year Grammy nominee Danger Mouse, and to celebrate, Blue Note Records and Analogue Productions are collaborating to re-issue her entire catalog in limited edition audiophile LP and SACD editions. The LP editions of the five albums 2002's Come Away With Me, 2004's Feels Like Home, 2007's Not Too Late, 2009's The Fall and Norah's new album ...Little Broken Hearts have all been re-mastered from the original sources by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio. The LPs will be pressed on 200 Gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (fast gaining popular consensus as the best pressing plant in the world) and, keeping with Analogue Productions' standards, they will be packaged in heavy cardboard stock, tip-on, old-school gatefold sleeves. In addition to the individual releases, Analogue and Blue Note will produce a limited edition vinyl box set comprising all five titles plus an exclusive bonus album entitled Covers. Only available as part of these sets, Covers includes ten rare or unreleased interpretations of classics recorded throughout Norah's career. Artists covered include Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, Horace Silver, Wilco and more. "The records coming out of QRP are definitely living up the pressing plant's early promise. This kind of drop dead black quiet is precisely what's required for Jones's music and QRP delivers it. Kevin Gray's mastering is equally superb... This limited edition box encapsulates an original's decade long output, almost all of which is consistently solid music making, produced and recorded with impeccable taste.
