Regina Spektor – Songs LP

Regina Spektor – Far

In 2002, Regina Spektor was in the midst of a creative explosion. She was writing so many songs that she could no longer keep track of them. Her friend Joe Mendelson noticed that she was completely forgetting some and offered to archive everything she had written that year.

After Regina had recorded dozens of songs, one take each, they decided to pick twelve and make an album out of them.

And so "Songs" was born. The record contains the original versions of "Samson" and "Ne Me Quitte Pas", which were later re-recorded on "Begin to Hope" and "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" respectively.

These early recordings have now been expertly remastered by Bob Ludwig in time for their 22nd birthday and are available for the first time outside of a handmade CD-R.
