{"product_id":"sade-promise-lp-vinyl","title":"Sade – Promise","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSade's sophomore record arrived just a year after her breakthrough debut, yet *Promise* deepened rather than repeated the formula, showcasing the band's gift for restraint and space as much as melody. Helen Folasade Adu's voice remains one of the most distinct instruments in modern soul, and the sparse, late-night arrangements here hold up remarkably well four decades on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePromise (1985) is Sade’s second album, featuring the singles “The Sweetest Taboo”, “Is It\u003cbr\u003eA Crime?”, and “Never As Good As The First Time.” The album was recorded at Power Plant\u003cbr\u003eStudios (England) and Studio Miraval (France). The vinyl audio uses high resolution digital\u003cbr\u003etransfers of the stereo master mixes, from the original studio recordings, remastered at half-\u003cbr\u003espeed at Abbey Road Studios. The elaborate, half-speed mastering process has produced\u003cbr\u003eexceptionally clean and detailed audio whilst remaining faithful to the band’s intended sound.\u003cbr\u003eNo additional digital limiting was used in the mastering process, so the album benefits from\u003cbr\u003ethe advantage of extra clarity and pure fidelity, preserving the dynamic range of the original\u003cbr\u003emixes, presented on pure 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl. The original album sleeve and\u003cbr\u003epackaging elements have been meticulously reproduced in exact detail with authentic paper\u003cbr\u003eand printing methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Is It A Crime (6:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Sweetest Taboo (4:35)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. War Of The Hearts (6:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Jezebel (5:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Mr Wrong (2:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Never As Good As The First Time (5:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Fear (4:05)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Tar Baby (3:58)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Maureen (4:22)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 196587848118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sony Legacy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.21.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Epic (EPC 86318)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1985  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Is It A Crime – 6:18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 The Sweetest Taboo – 4:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 War Of The Hearts – 6:47\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Jezebel – 5:30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Mr Wrong – 2:50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Never As Good As The First Time – 5:01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Fear – 4:05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Tar Baby – 3:58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Maureen – 4:22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSade – Arranged By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul S.
