When Cohen became known as a musician in his late 30s with his albums Songs Of Leonard Cohen and the sophomore Songs From A Room people were surprised that his music seemed to come out fully formed Many were familiar with his work as an author and poet but did not know that he had been a musician for most of his life For Cohen making music was another way to bring his poetry to the people The dark thrall of his songs portray an artist that is ever able to trace the hidden contours of love lust sex religion politics and history

By the time Leonard Cohen began his recording career in 1967 the iconoclastic Canadian troubadour was already well established as a poet and author He quickly emerged as one of the eras most original and influential singer/songwriters building a large and legnedary body of work that continues to inspire artists and listeners alike

Much of Cohens reputation and mystique was established by his early work for Columbia Records particularly the five albums he recorded between 1967 and 1974 Now these five classic releases unavailabe on vinyl for two decades have been lovingly restored to their original LP format For their new Sundazed editions all five albums have been meticulously remastered and have been sourced from the original Columbia Records stereo masters in order to preserve the sound of the original albums In keeping with the exacting standards for which Sundazed has become known each album will be pressed on highdefinition vinyl with complete original cover art
