Title:	Death of a Ladies' Man
Label:	4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	4M 813LP

"Cohen's fifth album (released by Warner Bros. in 1977) was produced and co-written by Phil Spector. The duo managed to write 15 songs in just three weeks together (at the time Spector exclaimed they had written 'some great fuckin' music') but only 8 made the final cut of the album. The combination of Spector's famous Wall Of Sound, a general sense of loose fun in the studio and the unbridled sexuality and voyeurism of the lyrics certainly represents a big step forward. At the same time, Death of a Ladies' Man both lyrically and stylistically is one of Cohen's career peaks, maybe even a masterpiece. Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg sang backup vocals on the chorus of the classic 'Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On.'" Housed in a gatefold sleeve; on 180 gram vinyl.

Title:	Songs Of Leonard Cohen
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	SC 5282LP

"By the time Leonard Cohen began his recording career in 1967, the iconoclastic Canadian troubadour was already well established as a poet and author. He quickly emerged as one of the era's most original and influential singer-songwriters, building a large and legendary body of work that continues to inspire artists and listeners alike. Much of Cohen's reputation and mystique was established by his early work for Columbia Records, particularly the five albums he recorded between 1967 and 1974. Now, these five classic albums, unavailable on vinyl for two decades, have been lovingly restored to their original LP format. For their new Sundazed editions, all five albums have been meticulously remastered and have been sourced from the original Columbia Records stereo masters in order to preserve the sound of the original albums. In keeping with the exacting standards for which Sundazed has become known, each album will be pressed on high-definition vinyl, with complete original cover art. 1967's Songs Of Leonard Cohen is one of the decade's most audacious debut albums, with producer John Simon's artful arrangements animating such haunting Cohen standards as 'Suzanne,' 'Sisters of Mercy' and 'So Long, Marianne.'"
