ANI DIFRANCO – Living in Clip (Deluxe 25th Anniversary Ed.) – 3LP – Red Smoke Vinyl

3LP – Deluxe Limited 25th AnniversaryEdition on Red Smoke Coloured Vinyl. Newly remastered in deluxe packaging with a “beautiful photo gallery”.

Living In Clip (25th Anniversary Edition) is a landmark double album by Ani DiFranco, featuring her trio from 1995-1996 with Andy Stochansky (drums) and Sara Lee (bass). Twenty-five years later the album is recognized as a point of entry that radically expanded DiFrancos audience, and a historically important testament to the relationship between Ani as a live performer and the devoted community she created with her fans. If there was ever a record to help you pull through until the next time the Folksinger makes her way to your town, Living In Clip is the one. Affectionately named after the state of stage amps about to blow out, the record is constructed like a show complete with the onstage humor and antics we love. The culmination of years of studio work and constant touring, Living In Clip is a tour in itself: nearly two-dozen venues provide the atmosphere for over two hours of music complete with intermission and encore. Recorded straight from the soundboard on an 8 track ADAT, digital videotape and mixed by Ani and Andrew Gilchrist Living In Clip is conceptually designed to preserve the authenticity and pulse of a live show. There are jazzy folkalicious renditions of “Letter to A John,” “Fire Door,” “Diner” and “Anticipate.” Amusing and sweet snippets are interwoven throughout the songs and sometimes during them – “Out of Habit” harbors a little cinematic glimpse into Ani’s first days in New York City. This dynamic collection also offers The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra playing on “Both Hands” and “Amazing Grace” at a hockey arena as well as a phenomenal version of “Shy,” that was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance Female (or whatever). Living In Clip is also considered one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s essential albums of the 90’s. Living In Clip includes a beautiful photo gallery that contains pictures of the sparkling faces, questionable attire and unique persons behind the road show.
