180g 45RPM 2LP Pressing Mastered from the Original Master Tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio

The astonishing Judee Sill was the first artist signed to David Geffen's Asylum Records, and 1973's Heart Food is her second and unfortunately final album. 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 both of her albums herself!).

Sill's life was tragic both 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 soon began to commit robberies and fell into a life of drug abuse. When stardom didn't follow the critical acclaim of her first two albums her career never recovered. Sill was dead in 1979 at just 35. However, the brevity of Judee's musical legacy is vastly outweighed by the emotional power in the two extraordinary albums she left behind.

Heart Food was AAA 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. This new Intervention reissue represents THE definitive listening experience for this classic LP!
