"Whenever I play Matt Lutthan's cut, I'm like seduced into the music. It's just so pretty, so beautiful. And the 45 really has helped uh the feeling of compression that was on the second side of the original disc and some of the end of side cuts. It's not like it's a super long program, but this one does feel way more relaxed and immersive. Once you adjust to what's going on with the mastering, you're just drawn in and all those cuts that probably you ignored before because they you thought they were filler or marginal now take on new importance." — Scott Wilson, The Pressing Matters, YouTube
Natural tonalities, superb balances, pristine clarity and richer sonic detail are what separate this exceptional Analogue Productions 45 RPM reissue of this Joan Baez classic from previous versions. This is dedication to preserving deserving recordings for future generations to enjoy.
Vinyl enthusiasts will find this definitive 180-gram 45 RPM audiophile reissue of Diamonds & Rust to be an essential addition to their record collections — an epic sonic journey through Baez's most personal and refined work. Released in 1975, this album marked a pivotal moment in Baez's career, where her powerful folk roots seamlessly blend with the lush, polished production of the era. Her voice-pure, haunting, and timeless-has never sounded richer, and on this reissue, the analog warmth of her vocals will immerse you in every note like never before.
For those less familiar with Joan Baez, Diamonds & Rust serves as the perfect entry point into her discography. It's a masterclass in storytelling, and an album that shows the full spectrum of her talent — from folk ballads to contemporary covers, all delivered with an emotional intensity that lingers long after the last note fades. Baez's legacy as a voice for social justice and a champion of acoustic beauty is firmly grounded in her ability to make the personal feel universal — and Diamonds & Rust is the purest expression of that gift.
This reissue brings the album back in all its original analog glory. Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from a 1/2" flat tape copy of the original analog master tape. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, and housed in a tip-on old style gatefold jacket with textured stock by Stoughton Printing. If you want to experience the soul of Joan Baez, there's no better place to start — or return to — than Diamonds & Rust.

GRADING. Grading is visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY.
RECORD GRADING:MINT (M) ---- It should be SEALED and appear to be brand new. Mint means STILL SEALED, NEVER PLAYED. NEAR MINT (NM or NM-) ---- OPENED or UNSEALED. Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG++ or strong VG++ or VG+++) The record or cover that all but the most particular collector would say looks outstanding. Cover may have insignificant manufacturers defect such as notch hole or cut corner.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+ or strong VG+) The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptable for most collectors. Cover has most of its original gloss and has been well taken care of. Minor seam splits may be acceptable.
VERY GOOD (VG or strong VG) ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, non-feelable marks that might or will affect the sound as mild occasional surface noise or periodic pops/clicks. Usually a cover is VG when one or more of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
VERY GOOD- (VG- or G+) Record will show signs same as VG with heavier wear including noticeable groove wear and feelable marks that will likely pop or click. Popping or clicking will be most evident through quieter passages. Record should play all the way through, but may skip.
GOOD (G) ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping, but may skip. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork. Filler copy until a better one can be found.
POOR (P) ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Only the rarest of records should ever be graded as Poor while the others should go to the trash heap.
DISCLAIMER. Due to the number of frivolous returns which were unwarranted, and due to the nature of sound recorded products that can be easily copied, there will no longer be a free return policy. I will charge a $10.00 return fee for all returns - this amount will be deducted from the Paypal refund of the returned item. If item is truly defective the entire purchase amount will be refunded as long as the item is in the same condition as it was sent.
