In March of this year, Cooking Vinyl issued a special 4LP coloured vinyl box set bringing together all four volumes of Suzanne Vega’sClose-Up Series, the 2010-2012 initiative that saw the singer-songwriter re-record swathes of her back catalogue and release newly-curated volumes of re-interpretations stripped of their original productions. All four of these titles will soon be available separately, this time as individual 180g black vinyl pressings.
The four volumes are: Love Songs and People and Places (both in 2010), States of Being (2011) and Songs of Family (2012). These were primarily conceived for CD, although limited black vinyl pressings were issued at the time.
The four vinyl records are available via various retail channels although on the official store they come with a signed print of the cover (while stocks last). The Suzanne Vega shop also has a 4LP black vinyl bundle, if you want them all, although at the time of writing stock of the original 4LP coloured vinyl ‘bookpack’ is still available (see price comparison widget below).
This Close-UpSeries is released on individual black vinyl box set will be released on 2 December 2022. Scroll down for full track listings.
