180-gram vinyl

Remastered by Bernie Grundman

Exclusive 33-RPM vinyl issued for the first time in more than 30 years

In 1987 Jennifer Warnes and Roscoe Beck created an enduring interpretation of some of Leonard Cohen’s finest mid-period songs. The resulting album Famous Blue Raincoat has remained a touchstone of American pop. It’s a recording as beautiful as the songs incisive, painstakingly created by some of the finest musicians and engineers ever assembled. It has rightfully remained immensely popular for afficianados of sound and songcraft.

Impex Records has enjoyed a long and rich collaboration with Jennifer Warnes. Now Impex is proud to release, for the first time in more than 30 years, a fully authorized and approved 33 RPM, 180-gram vinyl LP of her groundbreaking classic.

Newly remastered by Bernie Grundman on his all-tube cutting system using Warnes' personal analog mix-down tapes (from original digital recording tape), and personally supervised by Ms. Warnes, Famous Blue Raincoat is ready to be discovered by a new generation of vinyl enthusiasts seeking the purest musical alchemy, and vocal interpretation. Come see how far we’ll go for beauty.

Better Than My Original Pressing

Reviewer: Ross.

Compared to my original Cypress pressing,which is still very good, this is a considerable improvement. Apart from the drum snap at the beginning of First We Take Manhattan this pressing is superior in every way. Much more detail,more 3 dimensional sound and body to the recording. Great value compared to the 1 Step which may well be better of course.

Bernie Grundman and Impex nailed it!

All of the details shine on this album. Impressive sound stage and dynamics will please just about any serious listener. Jennifer's voice is rich and lush. Another 5 star album! You really should consider adding this to your vinyl collection.

I’ve heard about this pressing in audiophile media for years and was familiar with some of her famous duets work, so I decided to give it a try. The music is great and the production is very clean with great bass and instrument clarity with very little/almost no surface noise. Warnes voice is wonderful and I could listen to it all night!
