Nice to Finally have Leonard Cohen on a Gold CD!.......2006-08-22

I am a great fan of gold CDs, for although they have sometimes been criticized as over-priced, their superior sound quality and increased durability make them well worth it for those favorite albums you want to experience as fully as possible. As a long-time Leonard Cohen fanatic, I am delighted to have finally found one of his albums as a gold disc. It was worth the wait, too, since in this instance the remaster is especially good, even for an audiophile disc. This initial hits collection is also a good choice, although any Cohen disc would be worthy of being preserved in this way. Highly recommended!

Timeless Treasures.......2003-02-15

This is a wonderful collection of Cohen's now legendary early work. Drawn from his classic albums Songs Of Leonard Cohen, Songs From A Room, Songs Of Love And Hate and New Skin For The Old Ceremony, these timeless songs have become part of the serious poetic heritage of the English language. I have no favorites here because each and every track is sublime, from the wistful Suzanne to the aching Take This Longing. From "Love and Hate" I would have chosen Joan Of Arc, though, instead of Last Year's Man and would also have included The Old Revolution and Tonight Will Be Fine from "Room". The impact of these songs on popular culture are proved by the many cover versions, of which a few of the best include Rita Coolidge's "Bird On A Wire" plus The Lilac Time's and the Neville Brothers' version of the same song, Sting & The Chieftains' "Sisters Of Mercy," James' cover of "So Long Marianne", Geoffrey Oryema, Judy Collins and Nina Simone's very diverse interpretations of "Suzanne," Jennifer Warnes' "Famous Blue Raincoat" and Peter Astor's "Take This Longing." Cohen completists would also be interested in last year's Essential Collection, just note that album does not include Lady Midnight or Last Year's Man. What I found especially impressive on listening to this album again, were the brilliant arrangements and especially the siren-like quality of the female vocals so perfectly framing Cohen's weary voice. These songs just sound better and better as the decades pass.
