This record was cut using a specialist technique known as half-speed mastering. This artisan process results in cuts that have superior high frequency response (treble) and very solid and stable stereo images. In short, a very high quality master that helps to create a very high quality record. This half-speed master was cut by Miles Showell, the Mastering Engineer at the world famous Abbey Road Studios, and comes pressed as a limited edition 180-gram 2LP-set with accompanying download card.
Amy Winehouse's second album, Back to Black, was one of the finest soul albums, British or otherwise, to come out in years. Frank, her first album, was a sparse and stripped-down affair; Back to Black was neither of those things. Amy took her inspiration from some of the classic 1960's girl groups like the Supremes and the Shangri-Las, a sound particularly suited to her textured vocal delivery, while adding a contemporary songwriting sensibility.
With the help of producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, "Rehab" becomes a gospel-tinged stomp, while the title track (and album highlight) is a heartbreaking musical tribute to Phil Spector, with it's echoey bass drum, rhythmic piano, chimes, saxophone and close harmonies. Best of all, though, is the fact that Back to Black bucks the trends in R&B by being unabashedly grown-up in both style and content.
Winehouse's lyrics deal with relationships from a grown-up perspective, and are honest, direct and, often, complicated: on "You Know I'm No Good," she's unapologetic about her unfaithfulness. But she can also be witty, as on "Me & Mrs Jones" when she berates a boyfriend with "You made me miss the Slick Rick gig." Back to Black is a refreshingly mature soul album, the best of its kind for years!
A 2CD Deluxe Edition of Back to Black was released in November 2007, containing a bonus disc of B-sides, rare, and live tracks including "Valerie," "Cupid" and "Monkey Man." This 10th anniversary Deluxe 2LP-set contains the original album and all of the tracks from Deluxe Edition CD, plus many more gems which are appearing on vinyl for the first time.
