NEW Between The Lines, Breaking Silence, Hope & "Light" MP3 or FLAC BundleGrammy Award Winner

$23.95 $55.95

At your request, this bundle duplicates the previously-offered 3-CD "flood special", but of course doesn't include a "flood CD" or a signed CD. (No she can't sign digital items; even Janis isn't that good!)  It consists of Janis' final studio album, The Light at the End of the Line, her acclaimed 1992 "comeback" album Breaking Silence, the re-mastered and re-created artwork of her multiple Grammy Award winning Between the Lines, and as a bonus, a copy of her OOP 2020 archives release Hope.
The whole concept began as a CD bundle (minus Hope) with a special "flood damaged" bonus signed CD. However, those flood damaged CDs are all gone now and we've had a lot of requests for a digital version of this bundle. We've added the Hope album in place of the flood damaged CD.

Between the Lines was the second CD to be released by CBS Records. Back in 1983, it was a brand new format; companies didn't want to invest much money in case it failed. They didn't worry about artwork, they left out inserts, lyrics and credits, and they never re-mastered. Well, times changed. We learned how to re-master for best CD quality, we learned how to recreate artwork so the smaller format still looked good - but Between the Lines never got fixed. Instead, it languished, with the artwork deteriorating, no insert, and fans complaining . 

Janis began re-mastering projects with her old catalogue about two decades ago, but this is the first time she's been able to completely re-create the original vinyl as a CD. Updated art reflects correct coloring, with complete insert, and the entire album re-mastered from original analogue sources, a six month process overseen by Janis, the late Brooks Arthur (original producer and engineer on this project), and Steve Berkowitz  (multiple Grammy-winner for his work with Miles Davis and Bob Dylan). By special arrangement with Sony Legacy US, we are able to offer this only on Janis' website. That's correct; it is only available here.

We've bundled it with The Light at the End of the Line and Breaking Silence because these three Grammy nominees represent a good portion of the arc of Janis' career - her first huge album, her acclaimed "comeback" album and her last. Hope is an added bonus!

Between The Lines (nominated for 5 Grammy Awards; winner of two)
