Between the Lines

New, Remastered, Definitive CD Version of GRAMMY-winning 1975 album Between the Lines The legendary artist has put together the definitive CD version of Between the Lines. Her 1975 critically acclaimed album, that All Music hailed “the entire effort combines her honest and confessional lyrics with an equally engaging blend of pop/rock and definite jazz and blues… it is a recommended starting point for potential enthusiasts, as well as a touchstone to be repeatedly revisited,” hit No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart and features the GRAMMY-winning song “At Seventeen.” “The 1983 version that’s still for sale has no insert, no lyrics, no musician credits, and the artwork is miserable. This new version has everything the original vinyl had,” explains Ian of the special reissue. She worked with the late Brooks Arthur, who produced and engineered the album and won two GRAMMYs and who passed this October, along with Mark Wilder (hands-on engineering) and Steve Berkowitz (five-time GRAMMY winner, in part for work with Miles Davis’ and Bob Dylan’s catalogs) on the audio recreation of Between the Lines. “Over the course of six months,” she continues, “we struggled with questions like: Should we try to make the album sound more contemporary, or should it sound exactly like the original vinyl? Or should it sound like what Brooks Arthur would have done then if he’d had the current tools available? In the end, that’s what we decided on, tested it in different ways for another two months, and I think it’s an unbelievably fine product.”
