The fans asked for it. Impex Records listened and is finally presenting Dan Fogelberg's classic “Souvenirs” as an exclusive Hybrid SACD with four previously unreleased bonus tracks! Tom Gibbs' review for “Positive Feedback” explains why there was such high demand for a digital version: “The ‘50th Anniversary Edition’ is not just a reissue of the album, but an experience! ... Without a doubt the definite edition of the album... The quality of the Impex reissue shocked me!” We say: The sound enhancement of the American rock singer and songwriter's second solo album, released in 1974 by Epic Records and certified double platinum by the RIAA, is long overdue!
Fogelberg, who initially worked as a session musician, played as the opening act for Van Morrison, among others, and quickly became part of the California music scene around artists such as Linda Ronstadt, the Eagles, J. D. Souther and Jackson Browne. “Home Free,” his first album, received only a lukewarm response, but his second album, “Souvenirs,” produced by guitarist Joe Walsh and featuring the hit single “Part Of The Plan,” brought him the breakthrough. The list of artists who contributed to the album reads like a “Who's Who” of the music scene at the time: Gerry Beckley (America), Al Perkins, Ross Kunkel, Don Henley (Eagles), Kenny Passarelli, Russ Kunkel, Graham Nash, Paul Harris, Glenn Frey and many more. "Souvenirs opened the door for me in L.A. as far as not just being the kid anymore, but being one of the guys, so I remember that one as a real good time – probably way too good a time! It's a miracle we survived that record." (Dan Fogelberg)
The numbered Hybrid SACD, strictly limited to 2,000 copies, comes with a 24-page deluxe booklet featuring comprehensive liner notes by Charles L. Granata, archival material, and new interviews with many of the contributors who helped create the album. Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering is responsible for the remastering.
