Lori Lieberman Perfect Day One-Step 45RPM

Pure Analogue One-Step 45rpm Vinyl LP!

Lori Lieberman's album Perfect Day includes a duet with Fink on the Lou Reed title track as well as a duet with Alon Lotringer ("Burden and Gift"), plus cover versions of the Cure's "Lovesong", Tracy Chapman's "Baby Can I Hold You," Alan Jackson's "The Older I Get," Ron Sexsmith's "Secret Heart," and Scott Walker's "Big Louise."
In November 2024, the analog label LowSwing Records will release the album "Perfect Day" by American singer-songwriter Lori Lieberman (known for "Killing Me Softly"). Produced by Guy Sternberg, the album features Lieberman's unique interpretations of songs by Lou Reed, The Cure, Tracy Chapman, Scott Walker and Ron Sexsmith, as well as two soulful original compositions. The unusual selection of songs that are not usually part of her repertoire gave Lieberman the opportunity to break new ground while also putting her personal stamp on the songs for which she has become known.
For the title song "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed, Lieberman invited singer Fink to a duet. "Burden and Gift," a song by Lieberman and Wendy Waldman, features another rousing duet featuring Lori and LowSwings artist Alon Lotringer.
Some would say it was intentional - while Lieberman was in Denmark and Switzerland towards the end of her concert tour, she was able to set up her schedule so that she could record the all-analogue album in just two days at the new LowSwing Studio in Berlin. The musicians of the A-Team, who were perfectly cast for this ambitious project and contribute with their talents to the tension and authenticity that characterize this album, are: drummer Earl Harvin (Seal, Tindersticks, Jeff Beck, The The), pianist Doron Segal (Fink), bassist Oliver Potratz (winner of the "New German Jazz Prize"), the phenomenal Icelandic guitarist Daniel Böðvarsson and on bass clarinet James Scannell.
The record was mastered at Emil Berlin Studios, cut to 45rpm varnish and then pressed at Optimal Media using the unique "One Step Processing" that ensures crystal clear transients and high frequencies on the record.
"Perfect Day" is limited to 2,000 numbered copies and packaged in a luxurious gatefold cover.
