Limited Edition of 500 in thick 6-panel double Digipak! Much welcomed new edition for another real CLASSIC album by Black Tape For A Blue Girl! This new release not only features a NEW MIX of this 1987 album, but also contains no less than 10 previously unreleased Bonus-Tracks on CD2!
More than a reissue, it's a restoration! Sam Rosenthal remixes Black Tape For A Blue Girl's 1987 sophomore album revealing the heart of its lush ethereal dreamscape atmospheres. "After 36 years, Mesmerized finally matches the way it has always played in my head," Sam reflects. "I remixed the album from scratch. It's rich, detailed and distinct. Everything is more present, and the lovely vocals engulf you in their power and beauty."
Flowing on its haunting thread, ethereal music enveloped in a lush dreamscape atmosphere. In the summer of 1987, Sam Rosenthal and vocalist Oscar Herrera are joined by Sue-Kenny's lovely British vocals for the most mysterious of the band's releases.
Guillaume R fan comment:
"The 2023 Mix is truly amazing, almost as if we'd been listening to Mesmerized from a distance for years without knowing. The music shines with so much more depth."
Patrick L fan comment:
"Couldn't begin to say how many dozens of times I listened to my old CD of Mesmerized, but now it sounds like an old tired cassette tape by comparison. The clarity and depth of sound is incredible. Thank you so much for doing this!"

THE BOB: ...
