Jennifer Warnes 20th Ann Famous Blue Raincoat RI

I have this on 2 Limited Edition gold CDs, an older Private Music release and the recent Cisco Music 20th Anniversary issue.
The Private Music release is mellower and rounder while the Cisco is sharper, clearer, more focused and detailed (in a couple of places I would even call it edgy).
The new Cisco release is all analog re-mastered by Bernie Grundman but to me doesn't sound like it.
The Private Music release sounds more "tubey". Go figure.
I'm not sure I prefer one over the other, they're just different. I don't like all the songs but some are fabulous.

My question to you is, was it really necessary?
If it wasn't for HP in the earlier days, this album wouldn't even have sold....

It's very well recorded and performed, but Leonard Cohen lyrics are depressing.

I expected this may appeal to JW fans (which I believe there are a number of on this site based on prior dialog). I wanted a good CD of this album because my original CD copy is poorly mastered and leaves a lot to be desired. I also have it on vinyl and it's excellent - more like the usual JW production.

Yeah, Lenny can be a downer for sure.
