This bundle contains Janis' final studio album, The Light at the End of the Line, her acclaimed 1992 "comeback" album Breaking Silence (signed!) and the re-created multiple Grammy Award winning Between the Lines. See below for more information!
Between the Lines was the second CD to be released by CBS Records. Back in 1983, CDs were 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 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, the entire album re-mastered from original analogue sources, a six month process overseen by Janis, the late Brooks Arthur (original producer and engineer ), 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 final statement.
