Suzanne Vega - Close-Up on Suzanne Vega Album (2012) | Guest posting over at ATSE by Mike Solof

Suzanne Vega - Close-Up on Suzanne Vega Album (2012)

 (A MIKE SOLOF GUEST POST)

Paul says: This was an idea of guest poster Mike Solof. Between 2010 and 2012, Suzanne Vega rerecorded many of her earlier songs in acoustic mode, and then released them as four albums, each with different themes. Mike noticed that all of the songs from her 1985 self-titled debut album were included. So he gathered them all, then reordered them to the same order as the original album. Finally, he added "Left of Center," which was only released on a movie soundtrack in 1986.

The result is an alternate version of her 1985, with a more acoustic sound. So it's just a nice option if you want to hear that album in a different way sometimes. 

As usual, Mike has more info (and photos) in the PDF file included with the download. 

This album is 42 minutes long.
