RACINE REVISITED

Description

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release from the Canadian singer/songwriter, issued to coincide with her Racine album's 25th anniversary. Sass released Racine, her sophomore album in 1992. Hits with "Make You a Believer", "I Want to Believe", "You Don't Have to Remind Me" and "Goin' Back Again". Sass Jordan explains Racine Revisited: "Re-recording such a landmark album was not a venture that we took lightly, because once you release your music to the world, it becomes the emotional property of anyone who connects with it, and rightly so. I have personally heard from so many of you about what it meant and still means to you, and I am humbled and amazed yet again by the power of music to soothe the soul and fire up the engines! We wanted to be true to the original recording, but to do something we had never heard of before... and this is what we came up with, after talking to the birthday baby, Racine herself! Instead of doing the obvious, and updating the vibe, bringing it up to the sound of today's recordings, and making it all shiny, sparkly, hissy and huge - why don't we recreate the record as if we were IN the '70's, and try to make it sound like it would have if it had been recorded during that seminal decade - where the original recording drew it's roots from? What would THAT be like? Racine was reborn living and working together at the fabulous OCL Studios in Calgary, Canada, and not one note was tampered with in the fashion of today. What you hear is what happened - no click tracks and no auto-tune. This record was made with great care and precision in order to be played loud and proud!" Review: 25 years on and this version is better than the original...read on - Sass Jordan released 2 albums on the early 90s that put her on the map...1992 Racine and 1994 Rats. This lp is a rerecording of Racine. Sass' voice is gritty, razor sharp and strong as ever, while the new recording has a fresh organic feel. Produced by her partner Derek Sharp (currently in the Guess Who) and featuring session aces Rudy Sarzo and Brent Fitz on bass and drums respectively this lp is a must own and it really re captures the original magic of the original Racine. Also included is a bonus download of the Racine Revisited so make sure you look inside the sleeve. I hope a remake of Rats happens next year! Review: Excellent album. As a bonus mine came in red vinyl. Awesome recording. Highly recommend.
