A Little Magic, A Little Kindness–The Complete Mono Albums Collection (2-CD Set)
- Shrink-wrapped
Can you surry?Â Can you picnic?Â Laura Nyro, to use her own fanciful word, surried onto the scene 50 years ago with the release of her debut albumÂ More Than a New Discovery.Â Its title was certainly apt. Throughout the course of her life, Nyro wrote and introduced some of the most beloved popular songs of all time with her singular fusion of pop, jazz, R&B, soul, Broadway, and folk sounds.Â Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records are proud to celebrate the golden anniversary of Laura Nyroâ€™s debut with a landmark 2-CD collection.Â Â A Little Magic, A Little Kindness: The Complete Mono Albums CollectionÂ features, for the very first time on CD, both of Nyroâ€™s original mono albums newly-remastered by Vic AnesiniÂ at Sonyâ€™s Battery Studios from the original master tapes.Â Â More Than a New Discovery, originally released on Verve Folkways in 1967, premiered the songs that Barbra Streisand, Blood Sweat and Tears, and The 5th Dimension would all take up the charts, including â€œStoney End,â€ â€œAnd When I Die,â€ â€œBlowinâ€™ Away,â€ and perhaps the most famous song Nyro ever wrote, â€œWedding Bell Blues.â€Â This special edition restores the original album sequence and mono mix from the very first version of the album.Â In 1968, Nyro moved to Columbia Records for her most acclaimed album,Â Eli and the Thirteenth Confession.Â Its songs were once again adopted by other artists such as Three Dog Night, Frankie Valli, and of course, The 5th Dimension.Â Featuring â€œEliâ€™s Cominâ€™,â€ â€œEmmie,â€ â€œSweet Blindness,â€ and the era-defining â€œStoned Soul Picnic,â€ this ultra-rare album â€“ thought by many Nyro connoisseurs to be superior to the familiar stereo version â€“ also makes its maiden appearance on CD.Â A handful of bonus tracks round out this special package, including the Bones Howe-produced â€œpopâ€ version of â€œSave the Country,â€ and the CD debuts of the Verve â€œcensoredâ€ single version of â€œStoney Endâ€ and the single mix of â€œEliâ€™s Cominâ€™.â€Â The Second Discâ€™s Joe Marchese provides new liner notes; the crystal-clear remastering is by Vic Anesini at Battery Studios in New York.Â Â A Little Magic, A Little Kindness: The Complete Mono Albums CollectionÂ pays tribute to one of popâ€™s most enduring iconoclasts.Â Itâ€™s a soul picnic you wonâ€™t want to miss.
