Norah Jones / Come Away With Me 20th anniversary reissue

Norah Jones’ 2002 debut album Come Away With Me is to be reissued for its 20th anniversary, in April.

The album’s blend of jazz, blues, country, folk and pop – had an enormous appeal and Come Away With Me has, to date, sold nearly 30 million copies, and has garnered multiple awards, including eight Grammys.

It will be reissued as two multi-disc deluxe editions (3CD and 4LP vinyl) that offer the following content:

  • New remastering of Come Away With Me
  • 22 unreleased tracks: demos, session outtakes, alternate versions & mixes
  • Norah’s earliest demos—the tracks that got Blue Note’s attention, and the demos she recorded for the label—some of which were released on the promo-only EP First Sessions
  • The full previously-unreleased original version of the album—including 11 unreleased cuts—produced by Craig Street and now newly-mixed by Tony Maserati, with alternate versions of well-known tracks and unheard performances

Both deluxe versions offer “premium packaging with an extensive booklet featuring new liner notes by Norah, rare session photos and detailed track annotations”, although SDE can’t help but think there’s premium packaging, there’s premium packaging and then there’s £160 for a 4LP set!

The CD set is better value although there is no sign of the surround sound version of the album which was issued on SACD back in 2003. Admittedly, this is a rare example of an SACD that is still relatively easy to get hold of, for not much outlay, but the package seems incomplete without it.

There will also be single LP and single CD editions of the album and The Demos, First Sessions EP and the Allaire Sessions have all been mixed to Dolby Atmos, although there appears to be no physical edition, so this will be for streaming-only.

Come Away With Me is reissued on CD on 29 April 2022 via Blue Note/UMe. The 4LP vinyl follows on 20 May.
