	Beauty & Crime Audiophile - LP - 27018 Sealed 2010 Four Disc Box Containing Four 200gm Clarity SV-P II LPs. “Musically, This Is Easily Her Most Adventurous Record Ever; Yet It Is Also More Accessible Than Any Album Since Her Debut. The Craft And Care Put Into The Songs Themselves And Their Articulation By Vega And Producer Jimmy Hogarth Are Amazing. Here, Emotions Are Laid Bare In Places Whether In The First, Second, Or Third Persons, But They Are Always Placed Inside Elegant Yet Spare Lyrics That Are Taut, Poetic, And Evocative.

But It's The Sound Of Vega's Acoustic Guitar On All These Songs That Is Unmistakably At The Top And Provides The Album's Anchor. It's Important To Note This, Simply Because It Keeps These Beautiful Pop Songs Rooted In A New Kind Of Contemporary Folk That Vega Was A Pioneer Of In The '80s. And It Keeps Her Rooted To Her Own Catalog, From The Beginning To The Present. In Other Words, As She Has Experimented In The Past With All Kinds Of Sounds, She Has Forever Remained Herself And Never More So Than Here, Whether It's The Jazzy, Faux Bossa Nova Of "Pornographer's Dream" Or Its Predecessor, The Stunning "New York Is A Woman." "Frank And Ava," Is A Rocking Pop Tune Whose Electric And Acoustic Guitars Entwine, Seemingly Kissing, Wrapped Around A Bassline Played By Tony Shanahan From The Patti Smith Group. Beauty& Crime Is, Without Reservation, The Defining Creative Moment Of Suzanne Vega's Career Thus Far, And A Morally And Emotionally Communicative Recording That Instructs Even As It Confesses From Inside, And Reports From The Margins And Becomes, In Its Graceful Impurity, A Vision That Is Singular And Utterly Direct.” Thom Jurek, AMG. more

	Days Of Open Hand Audiophile - Used - 7502-15293-1 1990 Original Pressed On Pure Virgin Vinyl; Electrosound Pressing. Features Shawn Colvin. Mastered By Bob Ludwig. Small Corner Crease. “Suzanne Vega Is A Beautiful Example Of An Artist Excelling Despite Her Limitations. While The Singer-Songwriter Doesn't Have Much Of A Voice, She Has No Problem Being Incredibly Expressive. Subtlety Is The Quality That Defines Days Of Open Hand, An Album Every Bit As Compelling As The Superb Solitude Standing. Vega Doesn't Need To Shout Or Preach In Order To Get Her Points Across. On "Men In A War," The Folk-Pop-Rock Explorer Examines The Plight Of Disabled Veterans Without Expressing The Type Of Anger That Bruce Cockburn Would When Addressing Such A Subject. Restrained And Understated, Treasures Like "Those Whole Girls (Run In Grace)," "Rusted Pipe" And "Room Off The Street" And The Unsettling "Institution Green" Show That For All Their Delicacy, Vega's Songs Can Be Quite Meaty And Give Listeners A Great Deal To Think About.” Alex Henderson, AMG. more

	Solitude Standing Used - LP - SP 5136 1987 Original With Custom Inner Sleeve. Pressed On Quiex Type Pure Virgin Vinyl. Appears Glossy, Unplayed. Features The Hit Single "Luka". “The Songs On Solitude Standing, Suzanne Vega's Second Album, Had Years Listed Beside Them On The Lyric Sheet, So You Could See That Some Of Them Dated Back To 1978. But That Bold Admission Heralded The Album's Triumph -- Its Diversity Was What Made It So Good. Partially, That Was Because The Old Songs Were The Equal Of Anything On The First Album -- Tunes Like The A Cappella Slice-Of-Life "Tom's Diner" And The Warmly Romantic "Gypsy" Simply Wouldn't Have Fit Thematically On The Debut. On Solitude Standing, However, They Became Part Of An Album Of Story Songs Set In A Variety Of Musical Contexts; Many Had Band Arrangements, And In Fact, Members Of Vega's Touring Band Often Were Credited As Co-Writers. Additionally, Vega Had Developed More As A Singer Without Losing The Focused Intonation That Had Made Her Debut -- One Of Many Compelling Elements Which Helped Make "Luka," A Character Song About Domestic Abuse, A Fluke Hit.” William Ruhlmann, AMG. more

	Suzanne Vega Used - LP - SP6-5072 1985 Original In Shrink Wrap (Tiny CRC Columbia Record Club Printed On Back Cover). Appears Glossy, Unplayed. “Though Early Comparisons Were Made To Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega's True Antecedents Were Janis Ian And Leonard Cohen. Like Ian, She Sings With A Precise, Frequently Half-Spoken Phrasing That Gives Her Lyrics An Intensity That Seems To Suggest An Unsteady Control Consciously Held Over Emotional Chaos. Like Cohen, Vega Observes The World In Poetic Metaphor, Her Cold Urban Landscapes Reflecting A Troubled Sense Of Love And Loss. The Key Track Is "Small Blue Thing," In Which The Singer Pictures Herself As An Object "Like A Marble/Or An Eye," "Made Of China/Made Of Glass," "Lost Inside Your Pocket," And "Turning In Your Hand." The Sharply Picked Acoustic Guitar And Other Isolated Musical Elements Echo The Closely Observed Scenes -- Everything Seems To Be In Tight Close-Up And Sharp Focus. Often, The Singer Seems To Be Using The Songs To Measure An Emotional Distance; Sometimes, As In "Marlene On The Wall," She Observes Her Own Actions From A Remove. In "Freeze Tag," She Tells A Companion, "I Will Be Dietrich/And You Can Be Dean"; In "Marlene," A Poster Of The Aloof Movie Star "Watches From The Wall," Observing The Singer's Succession Of Lovers, And She Tries To Emulate Her Heroine's Persona, Telling The Current One, "Even If I Am In Love With You/All This To Say, What's It To You?" The Ten Songs On Suzanne Vega Constitute The Self-Analysis Of A Young Woman Who Desires Possession Without Offering Commitment; No Wonder That, Upon Its Release, It Was Taken To Heart By Young Women Across The Country And In Europe.” William Ruhlmann, AMG. more
