  • Description

    For over a decade, The World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings has served as an Audiophile must-have. Whether used to test out a new piece of hardware, or simply to sit back and enjoy, the album has been an enjoyable tool for many. It's time for a 2018 update of the material to this same premise.

    'The World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings Vol. 2' features some of the most stunning and haunting vocal performances the label has produced during its thirty plus year tenure. Featuring tracks by Macy Gray, The Persuasions, Kenny Rankin, Livingston Taylor, Meiko and many others.

    Description

    Available for the first time ever on vinyl and SACD, Chesky's "The World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings Volume 2" is a collection of the very best vocalists within the audiophile scene. This mesmerizing collection of songs has been hand-picked for the very best listening experience. Featuring the signature vocals of audiophile sirens Ana Caram ("Fly Me To The Moon") and Valerie Joyce ("That's What Friends Are For") and the soulfully smooth stylings of Macy Gray ("First Time") and Christy Baron ("Spooky") and more. The album showcases the vocal dynamics of this formidable roster in a natural recording that makes it feel like they are right in the room with you. The album attests to Chesky's commitment to detailed, clear, high-quality sound and perfectly introduces the label's unique approach to record production.

    Thirty-four years after the label's debut release, Chesky Records has maintained its original ethos of creating "the illusion of live musicians in a real three-dimensional space." It achieves that by focusing on presenting an immersive listening experience for its customers that is unique in the music industry. The label's new licensing agreement with Evolution Music Group for a series of vinyl and SACD reissues means that the distinctive Chesky sound is likely to find a new audience of listeners that will never hear music the same way again.

    "The World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings Volume 2" will be available on 180g Vinyl LP (audiophile pressing) and SACD Hybrid Stereo by Evolution Music Group.
