Lissie - Live At Union Chapel Recorded 8th December 2015. Selling out in less than 24 hours, and performing with just her acoustic guitar, it was clear from the very start that this show was going to be a show to remember The event kicked off her 'My Wild West' album campaign, which saw her achieve her 3rd Top 20 UK album, perform on CNN News International, raise thousands of dollars for charity as part of International Women's Day, gain three BBC Radio 2 playlist additions and receive huge critical acclaim. "Undoubtedly her best album yet" - Q. "Another bittersweet triumph" - The Independent on Sunday.

Fresh off her Twin Peaks cameo, singer-songwriter Lissie is back with her first release since 2016’s My Wild West. This time around the Illinois native strips the bluesy guitars at times, giving more space to expose her syrupy vocal melodies over simple piano (“Castles” and “Blood & Muscle”). One thing this album has in spades is its ability to be featured in just about any film/TV slot with its divine montage-esque delivery. What it’s lacking is a musical explosion to accompany that belting voice at this point something Lissie seems to intentionally avoid.

Kritzerland is proud to present a limited edition soundtrack release – two great scores on one great CD. The Whisperers was originally issued on a United Artists LP and had a prior CD release on Ryko. That release, as was the case with several Ryko issues, had dialogue tracks added between the score tracks, which, for most people, completely interrupted the wonderful flow of Barry's original LP sequence. For this release, we have removed the added dialogue tracks and remastered the sound. The original United Artists LP of Equus, along with its prior CD release (also on Ryko - now long out of print), interspersed five of Burton's monologues (and a scene with Firth) among the score cues. Some of the monologues retained their own track and had no underscore, and some were bookended with musical cues. The result was a very nice listen for the first couple of times - after that, one wished that the score could simply be listened to as a score, on its own. So, for this release, we've done exactly that for the first time.
