4LP Bookpack with 28 page booklet featuring a foreword by Suzanne Vega, a brand new essay by Lenny Kaye and the full lyrics for each song.Back in 2010, Suzanne began re-recording and releasing songs from her extensive back catalogue as the Close-Up Series. She thought that her fans might like to hear the songs of her past stripped of their original productions, to hear them in an intimate setting, something more personal, that felt like she was singing to them alone. During the recording process for these four albums, Suzanne also decided to rearrange the songs by theme, so people could rediscover them out of their original contexts.The Close Up Series, originally released over a decade ago, is now available in a beautifully packaged and designed Bookpack and is limited to just 2,000 copies worldwide. It includes the Close-Up albums Volumes 1-4, each as a different colour 180g heavyweight vinyl LP. It also contains a 28-page booklet featuring a foreword by Suzanne Vega, a brand new essay by Lenny Kaye and the full lyrics for each song.Close-Up, Vol 1, Love SongsSide 1:Small Blue ThingCaramel(If You Were) In My MovieGypsyMarlene on the Wall(Ill Never Be) Your Maggie MaySide 2:Harbor SongHeadshotsSongs in Red and GrayStockingsSome JourneyBoundClose-Up, Vol 2, People PlacesSide 1:LukaZephyr INew York Is a WomanIn LiverpoolCalypsoFat Man and Dancing GirlThe Queen and the SoldierSide 2:Rock in This Pocket (Song of David)Angels DoorwayIronbound/Fancy PoultryNeighborhood GirlsToms DinerThe Man Who Played God Close-Up, Vol 3, States Of BeingSide 1:UndertowWhen Heroes Go DownMy Favourite PlumSolitude StandingCrackingLast Years TroublesSolitaireTombstoneSide 2:Blood Makes Noise50-50 ChancePenitentStraight LinesPornographers DreamInstant Of The Hour After Close-Up, Vol 4, Songs Of FamilySide 1:RosemaryHoneymoon SuiteWorld Before ColumbusAs You Are NowSoap and WaterWidows WalkBlood SingBad WisdomSide 2:Ludlow StreetTired of SleepingPilgrimageBrother MineThe Silver LadyDaddy Is White
