Amy Winehouse’s The Collection: An 8 disc, limited edition vinyl box set
10th May 2016
An 8 disc, limited edition vinyl box set comprising Amy Winehouse’s three studio albums, live recordings from her 2007 Shepherd’s Bush shows, including tracks available for the first time on vinyl and an album’s worth of Rarities featuring live session tracks dating back to 2003.
Each LP is pressed onto 180gm vinyl and the box also includes a bespoke litho print and an exclusive set of photographs taken from the commissioned photo sessions for Frank and Back To Black. Out now via Island, the set is priced at £80.
Hello Paul – have you, or anyone else here, heard these Winehouse vinyl LPs? Quality? (are they just analog duplicates of the CDs?)
Always frustrating when you cannot supply an answer and that’s how I feel now. I do know that Frank is spread over 2 LPs which will surely improve the audiophile quality of the sound (Although ‘Help Yourself’ has been left out. I assume for space reasons, which is odd). I’m afraid that I cannot supply information on mastering, etc, though. I did try to grab a review copy – I only review finished copies, never from a download as some do – but I think supplies were in short supply at the time so I never saw one. My apologies.
