Sarah Vaughan - Send In The Clowns / LP Analogue Productions

Sarah Vaughan and her trio collaborated with the Count Basie Orchestra on this 1981 album – one of three studio sessions in total! With “Send In The Clowns”, they created a magical album that recalls the days when the singer and orchestra shared the stage at the legendary Birdland.

The program looks back on the singer's long career and includes not only Vaughan's early hit “If You Could See Me Now” but also one of her last signature songs: the title track! The entire program, arranged with great flair by Sammy Nestico and Allyn Ferguson, is a masterpiece in which

Vaughan pulls out all the stops in a setting that does justice to her sublime voice. “Send In The Clowns” was produced by Norman Granz and recorded on February 16 and 17 and May 16, 1981, at Group IV Recording Studios in Hollywood, California.

As part of the “Pablo Reissue Series,” Analogue Productions now honors this jazz gem with a sonically outstanding reissue, lovingly mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab. The LP, pressed on 180-gram vinyl by industry leader Quality Record Pressings (QRP) and cut at 33 RPM,

comes in an tip-on pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
