Now Cut At 200g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP for Better Tracking and Formative Detail; Mixed and Mastered To Hi-Res Digital from the Original Master Tapes by Joe Gastwirt Mastering and Lacquers Cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio

This charming 1988 collection of distinct duets finds bass aficionado Rob Wasserman joined by revered vocalists like Aaron Neville, Rickie Lee Jones, Bobby McFerrin, Lou Reed, Jennifer Warnes, Dan Hicks, Cheryl Bentyne and Stephane Grappelli. The experimental release pairs the human voice with the bass guitar, resulting in a collection of singular and soulful collaborations. Unlike much of modern music, where vocals are squelched and compression molded into something of an afterthought, Wasserman sought to create a true music record – without technology interfering. "It's kinda like being in a club. It lets you get closer to the song," Wasserman noted.

Not surprisingly, Duets ranks among the most breathtaking albums of popular songs issued in the '80s and it sounds better than ever on this definitive new vinyl reissue from Analogue Productions now cut at 200g 45RPM 2LP for better tracking and formative detail! The 45 RPM 2LP version reduces distortion and high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves let your stereo cartridge track more accurately. Natural tonalities, superb balances, pristine clarity and more are all revealed. Mixed and mastered to hi-res digital from the original master tapes by Joe Gastwirt Mastering with the lacquers cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio.
