Loren Connors / Pretty As Ever
毎回同じなんだけど、一度聴いてみると、やはりその幽玄世界に必ず引き込まれてしまう魔力(?)を持ったギタリスト、ローレン・コナーズが妻スザンヌに捧げた、限定500枚アナログLP盤でリリースされた選り抜きギター・バラッド・コレクション!!! 本人のペインティングを掲載した12ページ・ブックレット付き。 The fourth LP in Recital's Loren Connors editions/reissue series. Pretty As Ever is a beautiful collection of Loren's guitar ballads, dedicated to his wife Suzanne. Includes the "Pretty As Ever" and "Trinity" suites, from the out of print album Sails (2005), alongside the complete Little Match Girl (2000). This album falls in line with the other LPs Recital has published, Airs, Lullaby, Evangeline... as hopeful and careful as a heartbeat. This LP also comes with Woman of Sorrows, a 12-page art-booklet of illustrations by Loren, unpublished until now. Also comes with Loren's rendering of The Little Match Girl, a tragic tale written by Hans Christian Anderson. A cohesive release, which I am very proud to be publishing. (Recital) Side One 1.
