Product Description . desertcart.com With her exotic beauty and steamy voice, Sade couldn't help but be a star. Taking the more sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, and R&B, Sade scored major hits with the continental feel of "Smooth Operator" and the sultry stylization of "Your Love Is King." Her voice was often criticized for being thin, yet she made it work to her advantage with songs like the haunting "Jezebel," on which her delivery added the vulnerability necessary to the song. Sade sounded best when she stuck to the lower register, and there is nothing thin about her dynamic handling of her torch song "Is It a Crime." "The Sweetest Taboo" was one of her last great moments before years of mediocrity, chronicled here by the lifeless "Stronger Than Pride" and the limp "Nothing Can Come Between Us." "No Ordinary Love" was a return to form with the smoky richness back in her vocals and the urban/island feel of her first release. Best of Sade goes right up to her hit "Pearls," which, remixed, became a dance floor hit. The nicest surprise here is "Please Send Me Someone to Love," with Sade proving that although her range may be limited vocally, she doesn't suffer the same fate artistically. --Steve Gdula Review: Excellent! Great addition. - Double album version, black vinyl, has heavy feel like my other 180g records. Played perfect, great sound, no skips!!! All great songs that flow together nicely Review: Excellent In Every Way - Superb mastering, excellent pressing. Audio is articulate and has dead silent background, no hiss or pops. A very nice blend providing both clinical accuracy and warm presentation of Sade’s best works. Evaluated on a mid-tier turntable equipped with a Shibata cartridge.

Love Sade… Great Press! Amazing Quality Sound!
The first song I ever heard of Sade was Smooth Operator! And yet didn’t knew her name yet. There was a time in my life, when I love a song and didn’t care about who sang it. Years later down the road, I find out her name to another song I loved, Sade! And I got to get this collection because she’s amazing, great voice, beautiful melancholic songs. The vinyl came well packaged, delivered fast, zero damages, but I was very impressed with the sound quality! If something I can said to any new vinyl lover, is, easy with the stylus, lower it gently! In general this is vinyl any vinyl collector needs to have in their collection.

Pleasantly surprised
I really just bought this for Smoother Operator but was pleasantly surprised that there were 3 other songs that I liked that I had heard on the radio (and didn't know it was Sade). Most of the CD is very good. There are only a couple of tracks that I skip.

Doppio vinile nero in formato 180 grammi. Acquistato in offerta a meno di 20 Euro.. soldi spesi benissimo! Pro: - Vinili perfetti e piatti; - Audio pulito e silenzioso. Contro: - Nulla di rilevabile. Sade, di origini nigeriane, naturalizzata britannica ha iniziato come stilista e modella e forse non tutti sanno che non è semplicemente una raffinata cantante ma anche e soprattutto una compositrice, arrangiatrice e produttrice discografica.. non ha solo la voce, ma anche un notevole talento musicale a tutto tondo. Poi che è bella da paura, di certo l'ha aiutata.. I suoi dischi hanno fatto da colonna sonora alla mia giovinezza, a cavallo degli anni '80 e '90.. quella voce calda e seducente, quelle sonorità particolari che miscelano il R&B, il Jazz, il Soul e l'influenza del fervido e prolifico genio musicale britannico.. ci hanno regalato brani che ancora oggi sembrano assolutamente contemporanei e attuali. Senza dimenticare quelle foto, quelle copertine e quei video musicali che la mostravano nella sua perfezione fisica e bellezza più latina che africana, voluta da contratto dalla sua casa discografica. La copertina di questa raccolta invece è completamente l'opposto, ce la presenta nella sua totale naturalità. Tornando al prodotto fisico, i due dischi sono quasi perfettamente piatti.. e questo mi fa molto piacere.. cosa non sempre scontata, anche con i 180gr. Le registrazioni sono di buono/ottima qualità, le tracce sono pulite come anche gli intervalli tra un brano e l'altro. Buona la dinamica e abbastanza ampio il palcoscenico sonoro, suono caldo e pieno. Ho anche i dischi originali di 30 e più anni fa.. ma oramai sono un po' rovinati! Consiglio assolutamente, non tutti, ma quasi tutti i brani più famosi ed iconici di Sade in questo doppio di ottima qualità generale.
