A top 100 LP when first released in 1992, \u003ci\u003eThe Hunter\u003c\/i\u003e’s audiophile credibility is best summed up by Elliot Scheiner’s Grammy-nominated recording and mix. It contains the charting single “Rock You Gently,” a sonically dense yet expansive cover of The Waterboy’s classic “The Whole of the Moon,” a soulful Jennifer Warnes\/Leonard Cohen composition “Way Down Deep,” Todd Rundgren’s “Pretending to Care” and even a Donald Fagen tune (“Big Noise, New York”). She owns every tune here, backed by a-list session players who ground the songs with solid and unobtrusive authority, letting Jennifer’s peerless interpretive skills bring the soul of every lyric to the forefront. Ms. Warnes uses her voice to serve the lyrics, allowing the song to return the favour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Impex","offers":[{"title":"LP - Green","offer_id":50411364122955,"sku":"2145542","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51821397475659,"sku":"R6566-4068","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/product_id._b6145e8d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726657047"},{"product_id":"famous-blue-raincoat-1-step-version","title":"Famous Blue Raincoat - 1 Step Version","description":"\u003cp\u003eImpex Records is celebrating the 35th anniversary of this seminal audiophile classic with the final and finest collaboration with long-time partner and raconteur Jennifer Warnes. This ultimate authorized production of \u003ci\u003eFamous Blue Raincoat\u003c\/i\u003e is getting the complete Impex 1STEP treatment! After Bernie Grundman cuts the last lacquers, Jennifer's analogue master tapes return to her personal vault for good.  Impex has always treasured our work with Ms. Warnes, from the original \u003ci\u003eFamous Blue Raincoat \u003c\/i\u003e45 Box, \u003ci\u003eThe Well, The Hunter,\u003c\/i\u003e and her latest LP, \u003ci\u003eAnother Time, Another Place\u003c\/i\u003e. Each of these releases celebrates Jennifer's singular legacy of musical excellence combined with exceptional craft in coordination with the original production team of Jennifer, C. Roscoe Beck, and Bernie Grundman.  For FBR's ultimate release, Impex returned to Jennifer's first-generation analog \"slave\" master tapes and let Bernie work his magic within the laborious 1STEP mastering process on BG Mastering's tube-cutting lathe. Impex will cut as many refs and test pressings as needed to get the quietest surfaces and intimate detailing. Final discs are pressed at RTI on VR-900 super vinyl, illuminating every note and nuance of this cherished masterwork.  The three 1STEP LPs and the elegant new 24-page booklet are housed in a deluxe four-sleeve Monster Pack tip-on jacket and booklet with metallic accents and spot gloss applications. Even if you have every version of this pop classic, you will find considerable value and new benefits from this unbeatable production!  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1STEP Process: The Impex 1STEP process relies on short, tightly controlled runs that require a new lacquer after each run of 500 pressings. This unforgiving format has the lacquer skipping the regular father-mother process, going right to a single convert and then pressing. Though this dramatically increases mastering and production costs, it also assures each run is more consistent from disc to disc, with less noise, clearer details, and deeper bass.  Reducing production complexity to just a single \"convert\" disc between the lacquer and the press greatly improves groove integrity, diminishes non-fill anomalies, and increases signal integrity from the master tape to your system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Features: Lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman from Jennifer's 1987 analogue master tapes. Each set of lacquers is used for short runs of 500 to optimize detail, dynamics, and soundstage. Doing this required Bernie to cut over 100 lacquers throughout the 1STEP production cycle!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Impex","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx3","offer_id":50544533078347,"sku":"2049026","price":239.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/84805757-35ee-196d-3daf-0bf709a49c04_9f2809cb_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1728328853"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/jennifer-warnes.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
