Al Jarreau
L Is For Lover/The Deluxe Edition
(Original Recording Remastered)

L Is For Lover as Al Jarreau recently described to us is one of those albums that his international audience knows every song, the track order, the lyrics, who played on the album, etc. In other words, this 1986 masterwork is truly a fan favorite.

This Nile Rodgers (David Bowie, Chic, Madonna) produced gem included some very incredibly strong material with hits like Tell Me What I Gotta Do, L Is For Lover and stellar album cuts like Johnathan Butler's Give A Little More Lovin' and Al Jarreau's own Says and the jazz groover Across The Midnight Sky.

You can also see why the fans agree that this is a very special album from Al Jarreau as it includes world class musicians like Nile Rodgers, Steve Ferrone, Anthony Jackson, Hiram Bullock, Lisa Fischer and Phillip Saisse.

It is with much honor to announce another installment in the extensive Al Jarreau Remaster Series here at Friday Music with his smash album L Is For Lover/The Deluxe Edition. Remastered from the original Warner Bros. tapes by Joe Reagoso (Al Jarreau/Patti Austin/Boz Scaggs/George Benson), this wonderful release is now supplemented with new interview notes from Al Jarreau as well as three great bonus tracks including his #1 smash single Moonlighting from the great ABC Television series from the eighties, which of course starred Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd.

Live In London/The Deluxe Edition
(Original Recording Remastered) [4 Bonus Tracks]

Friday Music announces yet another brilliant release from the Al Jarreau Remaster Series, his classic 1985 smash live recording Live In London/The Deluxe Edition. Unavailable on compact disc or LP for many years, this amazing recording now boasts four unreleased recordings for the first time on CD, as well as a very cool new interview with the artist included in the extensive liner notes.

This historic concert was recorded in front of thousands at Wembley Arena in November of 1984, as Al Jarreau was celebrating three smash albums in a row, with most of the show leaning heavily on his Breaking Away, Jarreau and High Crime albums.

The musicianship is in top form, with help from folks like Nathan East (Eric Clapton), Steve George and Richard Page (Mr. Mister) as well as the incredible production of Tommy LiPuma. This album truly has the tenacity and vibe of the real live concert setting, as Mr. Jarreau stretches out on classics like We're In This Love Together, Our Love, High Crime and a very hip solo version of the Paul Desmond classic Take Five.

Remastered impeccably from the original Warner Bros. tapes by Joe Reagoso, Live In London/The Deluxe Edition also includes all the original artwork elements from this smash release, which will make this one of the more exciting Jazz and R&B events of 2010. Enjoy!
