LAURA NYRO - Hear My Song: The Collection 1966 - 1995 - 19 x CD Box Set [DEC 6]

19 x CD - Indies Exclusive Limited Deluxe Box Set From One Of The Most Influential Artists Of The 20th Century - Laura Nyro - Hear My Song: The Collection, 1966 - 1995. All housed in a deluxe, lift-off lid box with Coffee-table book (see below for more details)

Be ready for the deepest dive yet into the womblike creativity of the idiosyncratic, unmistakable musical force that is Laura Nyro. Acknowledged as a genuine original, expressing a whirlpool nexus of r'n'b, doowop, Broadway, opera, folk and her own individual sort of soul, she thought like a bandleader even when she was solo.

"She wrote songs that had no kind of fixed compass point. They remain as unique and absolutely spellbinding to this day as when I first heard them in the '60s." - 10 Original Studio Albums, 6 Live Albums including 2 Previously Unreleased Live Concerts, Laura's original demo tape from 1966 and bonus disc of rarities including mono versions, alternative versions and live tracks. All albums remastered especially for this collection. All housed in a deluxe, lift-off lid box. Coffee-table book with in-depth liner notes by Vivien Goldman, foreword from Sir Elton John and testimonials from Charlie Calello, Will Lee, John Sebastian, Jackson Browne, Clive Davis, Lou Adler, Randy Brecker, Bernard Purdie, Scott Billington, John Sebastian and Gary Burden. Rare, previously unseen photographs including intimate family shots illuminate the book.
