From the Columbia records press release:

A debut album of almost unbearably exquisite beauty and soaring
emotion will be the subject of GRACE: LEGACY EDITION, as the 10th
anniversary of the release of Jeff Buckley’s first Columbia album (on
August 23, 1994) will be commemorated with a special three-disc digi-
pak set. Comprised of the complete original 10-song album on disc one,
a 13-song collection of previously unreleased material, promotional
rarities, solo tracks, and live performances on disc two, and a multi-
faceted, newly-produced DVD on disc three – the package will arrive in
stores August 23rd on Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music.

Jeff Buckley’s too-brief association with Columbia Records – from the
summer of 1993 (when he was not yet 26 years old) up to the time of his
tragic death in the spring of 1997 – left an indelible impression on the
fans whose hearts he touched in America, Europe, Australia, and the Far
East. He also left behind many fans among his musical brethren, and
artists such as Radiohead, Coldplay, Starsailor and Duncan Sheik have all
acknowledged Jeff’s influence on their work. Though Grace was the only
full-length album actually issued during his lifetime, the pace of his
recording and the prolific nature of his songwriting left behind many
treasures over those years. The album made its way onto many a fan and
critic’s list as not only one of the top albums of 1994, but one of the
decade’s most important recordings as well. To date, it has sold over 2
million copies worldwide, and is certified Gold in the U.S.

GRACE: LEGACY EDITION will present an extensive, in-depth study of that
early period of Jeff Buckley’s Columbia tenure, with audio, video and film
materials that pre-date the album and immediately follow it. The project
was produced for reissue by Steve Berkowitz of Legacy Recordings A&R,
Mary Guibert (Jeff’s mother, the executor of his estate, who has been
closely involved in the various posthumous releases since 1998), and
Jerry Rappaport (who has produced for reissue numerous Legacy blues,
jazz, reggae, Latin, and rock releases, including last year’s Jeff Buckley
Live At Sin-E: Legacy Edition). Liner notes will be written by Jeff Buckley
aficionado and Uncut magazine contributing editor David Peschek.

Disc one of GRACE: LEGACY EDITION marks the first digitally remastered
version of the original album since its initial release ten years ago. The
remastering was engineered by legendary veteran George Marino, known
for his work on the recent Led Zeppelin How The West Was Won, and
more than a thousand other albums since the early ’70s. The original
Grace album was produced, engineered and mixed by Andy Wallace, and
retains its original sequence: 1. Mojo Pin • 2. Grace • 3. Last Goodbye •
4. Lilac Wine • 5. So Real • 6. Hallelujah • 7. Lover, You Should’ve Come
Over • 8. Corpus Christi Carol • 9. Eternal Life • 10. Dream Brother. (All
compositions written or co-written by Jeff Buckley, except “Hallelujah” by
Leonard Cohen; “Corpus Christi Carol” by Sir Benjamin Britten; and “Lilac
Wine” by J. Shelton.)

Disc two is slated to contain 13 tracks from a number of sources,
including Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York, where the principal
sessions for the album took place. As of this writing, the tracks comprise:

• 1. “Forget Her” – previously unreleased, long-rumored track, originally
recorded and mixed by Andy Wallace and Jeff for the first album, but
replaced by Jeff with “So Real”;

• 2. “Dream Brother” – previously unreleased version that features
alternate lyrics;

• 3. “Lost Highway” – a Hank Williams standard, and the first of five solo
tracks recorded at Bearsville during the original recording sessions for
Grace that also include…

• 4. “Alligator Wine” – previously unreleased, from Screamin’ Jay Hawkins;

• 5. “Mama, You Been On My Mind” – previously unreleased, from Bob
Dylan;

• 6. Blues Medley (on acoustic guitar) – previously unreleased: “Parchman
Farm Blues” from Bukka White c/w “Preachin’ Blues” from either Robert
Johnson, Son House, or Charley Patton;

• 7. “The Other Woman” – previously unreleased, from Nina Simone,
written by Simone and Jesse Mae Robinson;

• 8. “Kanga-Roo” from Alex Chilton & Big Star – promotion-only rarity
from Peyote Radio Theatre EP;

• 9. “I Want Someone Badly” with Shudder To Think, out-of-print rarity
from Epic Records First Love, Last Rites movie soundtrack;

• 10. “Eternal Life” – ‘road version,’ first of two previously unreleased
promotion-only rarities from Columbia Records Radio Hour syndicated
radio program, also including…

• 11. “Kick Out the Jams” – from MC5;

• 12. “Dream Brother” (Nag Champa mix) – promotion-only rarity from
Peyote Radio Theatre EP;

• 13. “Strawberry Street” – previously unreleased, originally written in
1988, and appears here in a rehearsal recording from the Knitting
Factory, NY, in May of 1993, with an early try-out combo of bassist Tom
Goodkind (of The Washington Squares) and drummer John McNally.

Disc three of GRACE: LEGACY EDITION is a full-length DVD whose content
is still being coordinated by independent producer/director Ernie Fritz as
of this writing. There will be several elements, beginning with all four
promotional videos that were produced for songs on the Grace album:
“Last Goodbye,” “So Real,” “Grace,” and “Eternal Life” (which was a live
performance in Chicago).

Fritz was assigned to cover the Bearsville Studios sessions back in 1994,
and plans call for the DVD to include both video and real film footage,
some of which was later used in Columbia’s EPK (electronic press kit) to
promote and publicize the album. This may include in-studio takes of
“Grace” and “Hallelujah” from the EPK; another sequence where Jeff scores
the string section; and an interview with him. There will be new interviews
with the original album’s producers, Jeff’s bandmates, and music industry
insiders discussing Jeff’s work.

The life of Jeff Buckley, who was born in Anaheim, California, on
November 17, 1966, came to an untimely end on May 29, 1997, when he
died in a swimming mishap by the banks of the Wolf River Marina (a
tributary of the Mississippi River) during a recording stint in Memphis.
Posthumous Columbia releases began the following year with the double-
CD Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk, which included the bulk of the
Memphis sessions, and received a Grammy nomination for “Best Male
Rock Vocal.” In 2000, Columbia issued Mystery White Boy – Live ’95-’96,
which consisted of DAT recordings from the touring that came after the
release of Grace.

In 2001, Sony Music International released Live at L’Olympia (available
only as an import in the U.S.), culled from soundboard cassette
recordings of his two-night stand at the famed Paris theatre in July 1995.

In November 2002, Columbia issued The Grace EPs, which collected the
five most sought-after of those discs, which were released from 1994 to
’96 (commercially or for promotional use) in various foreign territories of
Sony Music. The EPs – Peyote Radio Theatre, Last Goodbye, So Real (aka
Live At Nighttown), Live From the Bataclan, and The Grace EP – were
collected into one slipcase package with detailed discographical
annotations. Liner notes were written by Mary Guibert, and insightful
recollections of key tracks and live performances were also provided by
original band members Michael Tighe (guitar), Mick Grondahl (bass), and
Matt Johnson (drums).

In July 2003, the Legacy Editions Series was launched with three specially
designed expanded edition packages: 1968’s Sweetheart Of The Rodeo by
the Byrds (a double-CD), 1978’s Muddy “Mississippi” Waters Live (also a
double-CD) – and Jeff Buckley Live At Sin-É, a two and a half hour (plus!)
tour de force, culled from recordings of his solo gigs at the Lower East
Side coffee-house in July-August 1993. The package included 34 songs
on two CDs, plus a DVD with exclusive interview footage and
performances of three songs at Sin-É.

and while were on the topic i love Jeff in a non gay male to male kind of
way

Fantastic News!!! thanks poopy-finger (lol),


I can't wait for that to come out, the Sin-e legacy CD is awesome.

i'm curious about the remastering, as the production is prolly the only thing about grace that i dislike. i better get that one. thanks for the info, poopy (and welcome hither, gotta love your screen name...[img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img])

I heard this song on the radio last night. Did anyone else hear it? I'm not the biggest Buckley fan in the world but the songs sounded really good, would have fitted perfectly onto the Grace album.

I did it, it's good. It would have fir on Grace but it would have been one of the weaker tunes on it. Haven't decided if I prefer it or So Real which was put on the album in favour of Forget her late in the day.

Are you fooking seroius!!!!!!!!![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]


Thanks for getting your finger out and giving us a shout, 'poopy-finger'!!!!

We all do !!


Its a must! And Im gonna buy the tabs for "O" the 20th Aug aswell..!!

For a guy that was only able to scrape together 7 original songs for his album it's incredible how much unreleased material is being constantly churned out. [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

Ahh here! If Damo (heaven forbid) was to drop dead tomorrow, how much unreleased stuff do you think would end up being sold in the same manner????





You know every recorded song would eventually make its way to cd. As that would be the demand. And rightly so.

look at this jerky jerk girl. she just bought the old version today. well knowing this version is on it's way. booo to me![img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]

How did you do that, Cille? Makes a nice present, though [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]


You can pre-order the Grace Legacy Edition directly from Sony. The advantage of that is that they will most likely shi[p it so you have it two days before the official release date (at least that's what they did last time) and you are going to get a free poster and a free booklet along with the CD.

ah, thanks ange. i might


well, i was on a shopping spree and it was very cheap - only 80 dkr (about 10 euros) and i thought: well, i love this album so much and i don't even own it, shame on me!


i might just buy the new one too, though, just to rub the shame in deeper - and enjoy that great album once again...

Ah, bummer, but that certainly has happened to me, too. You can't take it back, eh?

oo just looked at this on amozon might have to buy it!

i just bought grace a few weeks ago!


hopefully this wont be too expensive...as its a double cd and dvd

I've had a versioon of Forget Her for ages. It's such a good song and would probably have been the best track on the album. Jeff took it off as it was too personal (much to Columbia's annoyance).


"Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment you met her"





Love it, Can't wait[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

already wrote my name on it...[img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img]

It's a gorgeous song, but it's no Grace, Lover, or Hallelujah...


Anywhooo... that's not the only reason Jeff didn't want it on the album. The main reason was that his record company wanted Forget Her to be the first single and Jeff absolutely didn't want that. So he replaced it with So Real. Good choice imo. But it makes me wonder. So Real was put on on such short notice. There must be a good studio recording of Forget Her...

That should be the one on this reissue. I think the recording I have has come from a copy, of a copy, through a computer, then burned on to CD, as much of theses bootlegs do. It was pulled at the last minute.

The only version of Forget Her out there is a "live" studio recording from CBGB's, New York, if I'm not mistaken (did that make sense?). So hopefully the version on the new Grace will be the real thing..

that's what I'm saying.. the one they've started playing on the radio is the proper studio recording that would have been on Grace. It sounds good :)

They're playing it on the radio????

Yeah, I think it's going to be a single.

OMG, when will Mary stop her madness??? Jeff would've never wanted Forget Her to be a single!!![img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img]

That is so out of order [img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img] I think she said in one newsletter that she had asked all the parties involved if they woul dbe OK with it being on the album, including the subject matter, Jeff's ex. I say f*** them!! Jeff didn't want it out as a single and that should respected.

You go girl!!![img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]


You ARE a girl, right?[img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img]

WOOHOO!!!





Ordered my legacy edition of Grace today, to sit next to my Sin-e, is there now another version of the Sin-e legacy with a DVD!!!


Also ordered the Grace EP edition and live at olympia... Love JB

uuh no. I'm a 27 year old male. Never been mistaken for a girl before [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]

May I suggest you read the Jeff Buckley board more carefully! [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

You still have to question the way its been packaged. Why not issue the "new" songs as a seperate album ?? It's a blatant scam - you're getting people to buy an album most of them will already own. And (heaven forbid) if Damo did drop dead tommorow, I would hate to see a Legacy Edition O. I doubt Damo would want it done like that, as I doubt Jeff would have.


And I've never come across an artist would want every recorded song they've produced released. Adam Duritz, for example, will not put a song on an album if he is unhappy with the recording (regardless of how much he likes the song).And every musician will have songs they've written which they'll consider brutal when they look back on them (I know I have) eg. the "up-tempo" songs Damo wrote in the days leading up to the composition of Eskimo. Just because the songs are there doesn't mean it's "right" for them to be released.


Anyway, not trying to start a fight here, just expressing an opinion.
