Five individual titles plus exclusive bonus album of cover classics on SACD

All mastered from the original sources by Kevin Gray

The box set will be wrapped in a textured paper that feels like linen

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 SACD 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.

In addition to the individual releases, Analogue and Blue Note will produce a limited edition SACD box set comprising all five titles plus an exclusive bonus album titled 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 box set will be wrapped in a textured paper that feels like linen.

I thought the street date got pushed back again for the CD and/or
LP sets??

The bad part is the exclusive covers album/CD won't be available
separately (though it should be), plus I'm guessing that most fans
have at least some of the titles being included, so how bad a wallet-
rape it is (IMO) depends.on what you've already got.

I know these are 'audiophile editions,' but still....

Wouldn't mind winning one or both of these sets, though...

Let me get this straight--an album that was released in April was remastered for release in June? How does that work--does the producer just kind of half-ass it for the first mastering job because he knows some guy in the next room is working on the Cadillac edition?

This may well beat the Eagles releasing a deluxe edition of an album three weeks after releasing the album.

I don't know either - LOL!!

I got the Target (2-CD, should have been 1) version of LBH with 3 extra songs.

I bet they're including only the Regular CD, though.

FYI- The box is pushed back until September. Little Broken Hearts is only the single cd version but it is mastered in DSD Hi-Rez SACD.
