Grace: Legacy Edition

I listen to this almost everyday. I have the original Grace cd and I can tell a difference on this one from being remastered. Also, Kangaroo, Forget Her, and Lost Highway are two hard to find gems. It is a perfect album made even more perfect with the extended collection.

Such talent should not be forgotten. Make this album part of your collection.

Wonderful album! I buoght this remastered version to hear the new sound and I think it's very good! The second album doesn't add anything! Grace is the arrival point of Buckley, an album out of time, deep,sad, full of passion and feeling! Everybody should own this album!

A grate expansion on the original album. Sound quality is consistently good, and all the songs showcase Jeff's epic talents.

Awesome music I just love every song & the lyrics great voice & music

Like similar one album legends such as The La's and the Sex Pistols (it's hard to argue anything other than Never Mind The Bollocks was a proper Sex Pistols release), the estate of Jeff Buckley has done very well off the back of such notably small output. It's the lavish packaging for this latest vault-digging adventure that initially grabs the eye, although it takes little time for the music to avert attention from the unreleased photographs, Bill Flanagan's interesting liner notes, the annotations from producer Steve Berkowitz and the overall polished sheen of this Legacy Edition. While cynics may scoff at this latest repackaging of Buckley music, fans are sure to lap up this special version of Grace. Any true Buckley aficionado's copy of Grace will no doubt be worn out due to years of loaning to unenlightened friends and soundtracking a decade of memories. This new version is a damn good excuse to update, although even an extra disc of rarities and a DVD inclusion cannot alter the fact the original Grace album remains a staggeringly beautiful enigma on its own. Ten years on, the record still holds an undeniable freshness and vitality. Corpus Christi Carol still divides listeners as to whether it is a beautiful piece or melancholy or simply a wishy washy medieval ballad, but there's no doubting the staggering worth of the Leonard Cohen cover, Hallelujah (also covered by Bono, kd lang and Rufus Wainwright, although never bettered) and Last Goodbye. Of the bonus disc tracks, the superfluous bluesy sketches of Alligator Wine and Parchman Farm Blues are quickly forgotten as the fantastic alternate version of Dream Brother and the haunting and desolate sounds of the Hank Williams track Lost Highway (made even more eerie by the similar age at which both artists died) drift by. The `short 14 minute' live version of Big Star's Kanga-Roo and the chilling bonus track Strawberry Street (when Buckley sings the line "born to die young" it's hard not to gasp) wrap up the bonus CD, while the Grace documentary and five music clips of the DVD add further weight to this hefty release. Unlike other estates that continuously dredge up unnecessary scraps from long deceased artists, Grace (Legacy Edition) has made a positive addition to Buckley's canon. With Grace a designated classic album, Jeff Buckley's spirit lives on through fitting tributes such as this.

I can't say enough good things about Jeff Buckley and his music. This special edition of his breakout album (and his only completed album), Grace, is worth picking up. I had never got the unreleased "Forget Her" before (even though I think it was pretty easy to come by) until I got this. That song alone is worth the special edition.

This band reminds me of the same sprit as you find in Big Star. This is a must have CD. It is a moment in history not to be missed.

Purtroppo mi mancano le doti per commentare un simile capolavoro. Dovrebbero insegnarlo a scuola e scrivere libri. Un'esperienza emotiva rara. Mette le mani nel sangue dal primo ascolto e nei successivi centomila.

キチンと説明されとても良かったです。

Ich war ja erst etwas skeptisch als ich die Ankündigung dieser Edition sah. Es roch zunächst etwas nach Geldmacherei. Als ich dann aber schliesslich den Preis erfuhr, war diese Besorgnis weggefegt. Geradedzu ein Schnäppchen für 2CDs plus eine DVD mit ca. 60 Minuten Videos und Dokumentation. Über die Musik auf Grace, muss ich wohl nix mehr sagen, sie war immer schon absolut einzigartig und hat auch nach 10 Jahren nichts von ihrer Kraft eingebüßt. Die Bonus-CD ist voll mit Raritäten, mit dem Highlight "Forget Her" gleich zu Beginn. Mir ist absolut schleierhaft warum dieser wunderbare Song es nicht von Anfang an auf "Grace" geschafft hat. Die Bonus DVD bietet dann nochmal Gelegenheit sich davon zu überzeugen was für ein Spassvogel Jeff Buckley war (Doku) und sämtliche Videos zu Grace plus dem Video zu "Forget Her". Fazit: Auch für diejenigen die Grace schon im Plattenschrank haben bietet diese Package noch einiges, für alle anderen gilt sowieso: "Kaufen" ;-)
