Liner Notes By Michael Fremer

“At first, you might think this is simply a compilation promoting Analogue Productions’ catalogue, which it does. But they packed it with 22 exalted distaff classics such as Patsy Cline’s original ‘Crazy,’ Julie London’s ‘Cry Me A River,’ and others of that calibre — no fillers. AP’s artists also include Joan Baez, Shelby Lynne, Phoebe Snow, Rickie Lee Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Bryan, Jennifer Warnes, Diana Krall, Janis Ian, Joan Armatrading, Judy Collins and Holly Cole, so this really is A-list stuff. Best of all? You get two of the greatest performances ever: Dusty Springfield’s ‘Son Of A Preacher Man’ and yes, ‘The Look Of Love.’ This isn’t just a taster for AP: it’s a phenomenal package by any standards.” — Sound Quality = 90% – Ken Kessler, HiFi News Album Choice for October 2019

“(Kevin) Gray has few peers and the two-LP set is as sharp a calling card as exists for experiencing how good older recordings can be made to sound when the care and skill of an exceptional mastering engineer is at the helm. If this album doesn’t make your stereo sound fantastic, don’t blame it on the LPs!” — Music = 4.5/5; Sound = 5/5; Pressing = 5/5; Jacket = 3/5 — Dennis Davis, vinylreviews.com, August 2018
