Scissors Cut

by Art Garfunkel (artist)

1. Scissors Cut 3:53 2. A Heart in New York 3:14 3. Up in the World 2:19 4. Hang On In 3:48 5. So Easy to Begin 2:55 6. Can't Turn My Heart Away 3:24 7. The French Waltz 3:12 8. The Romance 3:13 9. In Cars 3:48 10. That's All I've Got to Say 1:56 This is a very quiet, delicate and nuanced recording and detail in this remaster is beautiful. "Can't Turn My Heart Away" sticks out a little, it seems louder than the other tracks. Could just be the way they recorded and mixed the vocal though. Being a Japanese issue, they have stayed faithful to the original Japanese LP, and thank god for that. To my knowledge this is the first time "The Romance" appears on CD. Also "Scissors Cut" and "A Heart..." are switched in order. Overall, this is an overlooked album that I'm quite fond of and I'm glad to have this remastered version. I only wish there was a company in the states that produced such high quality remasters and reissues. This is an instance where the mini-sleeve is the way to go. Dedicated remastering, exclusive tracks, all in a top shelf presentation.
