The astonishing Judee Sill was the first artist signed to David Geffen's Asylum Records, and Judee Sill the first album released on the label. Sill's music is intensely spiritual, redolent of both mysticism and divine imagery, yet grounded by great songwriting and a pure but powerful singing talent. Her songs impart incredible intimacy that is enhanced and not diminished by her sometimes complex string/orchestral arrangements (remarkably Sill arranged and conducted the strings/orchestra on her albums!).

Sill's life was tragic personally and professionally. Her father and brother were killed when Sill was young, and her tempestuous relationship with her alcoholic (and remarried) mother resulted in her leaving home at 15. She committed robberies and began a battle she was destined to lose against drug addiction. When stardom didn't follow the critical acclaim of these two albums her career never recovered. Sill was dead in 1979 at just 35. The brevity of Judee's musical legacy is vastly outweighed by the emotional power in these two extraordinary albums.

Judee Sill and Heart Food were 100% Analog Mastered directly from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio. The master tapes are in fine shape, and listeners will be blown away by the increased inner detail and three-dimensionality of these achingly gorgeous recordings. These new Intervention reissues represent THE definitive listening experience for these classic LPs!

Not a hot top end posted on 12/08/2024 5 Stars Reviewer: Marc S I am new to Judee Sill, and bought this album based on a few reviews. I will respectfully disagree with the other reviewer on this and the other Judee Sill sacd he reviewed. I know Kevin Gray and his work intimately, and I can tell you that he hates a "hot top end":and I hear none of that. What I hear is a 1971 recording sounding better than it has a right to. The songs themselves are drop dead gorgeous as is her voice. If you are so inclined I recommend this disc.

Nice to have on SACD posted on 04/11/2023 4 Stars Reviewer: joey1127 Cut a tad on the HOT side, but still nice to have on SACD. I purchased this recording a while back on vinyl when 4MWB re-issued it. This SACD is actually on par with that release. Not the very best in fidelity, but neither was the original so...I'm happy to have it. If you want a copy, it's worth picking up!
