Sade – Stronger Than Pride LP
39,00 €
The vinyl audio uses high resolution digital transfers of the stereo master mixes, from the original studio recordings, remastered at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios. The elaborate, half-speed mastering process has produced exceptionally clean and detailed audio whilst remaining faithful to the band’s intended sound. No additional digital limiting was used in the mastering process, so the album benefits from the advantage of extra clarity and pure fidelity, preserving the dynamic range of the original mixes, presented on pure 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl. The original album sleeve and packaging elements have been meticulously reproduced in exact detail with authentic paper and printing methods.
Stronger Than Pride is the third studio album by English band Sade, released by Epic Records in the United Kingdom on 3 May 1988 and in the United States on 10 May 1988. Stronger Than Pride was the band’s first album to be self-produced. The album spawned five singles and was a commercial success, achieving top-10 chart peaks in several countries worldwide.
Development
Around the time Stronger Than Pride was released, Sade Adu commented on its production: “I wanted it to be more basic and less embellished, with the quiet songs quieter and the harder songs harder.” Speaking to The New York Times, she added, “I wanted a sound that was empty and hollow so that you would have the voice just coming at you.”
Songwriting sessions for the album happened in Spain and London, and then recording sessions took place in France and the Bahamas over the course of a year. Stuart Matthewman, the band’s guitarist and saxophonist, said Stronger Than Pride was the first time Sade composed songs piecemeal and not as a collective. Sade self-produced the album following collaborator Robin Millar going blind amidst the recording of the band’s previous album Promise (1985).
