In 2023, Jennifer Warnes' "Famous Blue Raincoat" celebrates its 35th anniversary. Impex Records pays tribute to this audiophile classic with the ultimate reissue. Label owner Abey Fonn has given "Famous Blue Raincoat" a first-class treatment that will also be its last: With Bernie Grundman crafting the lacquer cut for this deluxe box set of three 1STEP LPs, the album's master tapes will forever return to Jennifer Warne's personal archive.

The relationship of trust between Impex producer Fonn and artist Warnes is based on numerous releases over the past few years, including the first 45 LP box set of "Famous Blue Raincoat," the remasters of "The Well" and "The Hunter," and her latest album, "Another Time, Another Place." Each of these releases is highly regarded by critics and fans, and were done in consultation with the albums' original production team, C. Roscoe Beck and Bernie Grundman.

This one-step LP box is based on the first-generation analog mix-down master from the original digital recording and was processed by Bernie Grundman on BG Mastering's tube cutting machine. In a meticulous process, numerous test pressings were made to bring out even the finest details. The LPs are pressed on VR-900 super vinyl at RTI.

In addition to the three 45-rpm LPs, the box set includes a new 24-page booklet and consists of a hard slipcase. Even if you own all versions of this pop classic: This piece belongs in every collection!

Limited to 7.500 copies.
