Intervention Records is thrilled to announce 100% analog vinyl reissue of Joe Jackson's 1979 New Wave classic I'm the Man. These monumental release is among the latest LPs to comprise Intervention Records' ongoing (Re)Discover Series.
"Intervention Records has once again produced a top-notch vinyl reissue that should prove appealing not just to the audiophile market but to anyone looking for a favorite album in unparalleled sound. Theres tremendous presence on this clear, clean and quiet analog reissue, remastered from a 1/2-half-inch safety copy of the original stereo master by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio and pressed at RTI. Surrounding Jackson, Houghtons drums practically jump from the speakers, while Mabys bass and Sanfords guitar are equally well-defined in the balanced soundstage."
"Impressive as the sound is, the packaging is comparably excellent. The Stoughton-printed jacket is a heavy-cardboard single-pocket gatefold with high gloss; the vinyl with replica A&M Records labels is, of course, housed within a protective inner sleeve. Interventions Im the Man is a perfect way to reacquaint yourself with this edgy classic from a young artist with a lot to say. Happily, the label promises that Look Sharp! as well as Jacksons biggest commercial success, Night and Day, are on the way in similarly lavish editions. One has no doubt theyll look, as well as sound, sharp...a top-notch vinyl reissue that should prove appealing not just to the audiophile market but to anyone looking for a favorite album in unparalleled sound." - Joe Marchese, www.theseconddisc.com
I'm the Man was a critical and commercial success, punctuated by the smash "It's Different For Girls," "On Your Radio" and the title track.
The album was mastered 100% analog by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the best source available- phenomenal sounding 1/2" safety copies of the original stereo master tapes. All of the top-end energy and snap of the original UK LP is preserved, while the bass foundation is fully restored to make this new Intervention reissue the definitive listening experience for the classic LP!
"....this Intervention reissue smokes the original in all of the ways that matter on a drum'n'bass'n'guitar driven record: sharper, cleaner transients, greater dynamic slam, and bass that digs all the way down.. As we've come to expect from Intervention, the Tip-on packaging is first rate as is Kevin Gray's mastering from analog tape, pressed on 180 gram vinyl at RTI." - Michael Fremer, www.analogplanet.com, 8/11 Music, 8/11 Sound
"... a bigger, richer soundstage that lets the instruments stretch out and interact, and brings Jackson's voice and words into greater relief." - Joe Taylor, SoundStage!
