Clearaudio is celebrating its 45th anniversary with a musical anniversary edition consisting of a CD or vinyl set.
For a nice round anniversary number, many manufacturers choose an anniversary edition of some device or speaker. Nice, but often these are very limited versions with a hefty price tag attached as well. Yet (even) with high-end sound, at the end of the day, it is all about one thing: enjoying music. And so clearaudio thought it would be a nice idea to add lustre to their 45th anniversary with music. With the added benefit of being affordable for everyone.
Vinylset
First, you can choose from a “high speed” vinyl set, consisting of two LPs to be played at 45 rpm. The records contain the following songs:
Side A
1. Anna Gréta – Home (from the album: Nightjar In The Northem Sky)
2. Cécile Verny Quartet – As Soon As They Have All Aligned (from the album: Fear & Faith)
3. Dominique Fils-Aimé – Birds (from the album: Fear & Faith)
4. Jamie Woon – Sharpness (From the Album: Making Time)
Side B
1. Friends’N Fellow – Time (from the album: Lady)
2. Imaginary Future – Hey Jude (from the album: Yesterday)
3. Josefine Cronholm – Blackbird (from the album: Ember)
Side C
1. Martin Lechner – The Masquerade Is Over (from the album: Somethin’ Old & Somethin’ New – Somethin’ Else)
2. Thorsten Goods – Work Song (from the album: Thank you Baby!)
3. Wolfgang Bernreuther – Can’t Get Rid Of (from the album: Still A Fool)
Side D
1. Vanessa Fernandez – Here But I’m Gone (from the album: Use Me)
2. Julia Werup – The Thrill is Gone (from the album: The Thrill of Loving You)
3. Mike Andersen – About You (from the album: Echoes)
CD
On the CD – the other option – you will find the following tracks:
1. Anna Gréta – Home (from the album: Nightjar In The Northem Sky)
2. Cécile Verny Quartet – As Soon As They Have All Aligned (from the album: Fear & Faith)
3. Dominique Fils-Aimé – Birds (from the album: Fear & Faith)
4. Jamie Woon – Sharpness (from the album: Making Time)
5. Friends’N Fellow – Time (from the album: Lady)
6. Imaginary Future – Hey Jude (from the album: Yesterday)
7. Josefine Cronholm – Blackbird (from the album: Ember)
8. Martin Lechner – The Masquerade Is Over (from the album: Somethin’ Old & Somethin’ New – Somethin’ Else)
9. Thorsten Goods – Work Song (from the album: Thank you Baby!)
10. Wolfgang Bernreuther – Can’t Get Rid Of (from the album: Still A Fool)
11. Vanessa Fernandez – Here But I’m Gone (from the album: Use Me)
12. Julia Werup – The Thrill is Gone (from the album: The Thrill of Loving You)
13. Mike Andersen – About You (from the album: Echoes)
And given the price, there’s nothing stopping you from purchasing both the vinyl set (€55) and the CD (€37).
There is nothing on the manufacturer’s website about the anniversary albums at the time of writing, but we did see them on clearaudio’ s Facebook page (see screenshot at the top of this post).
