Product description

Leonard Cohen's fifth studio album, Death of a Ladies' Man, marks a notable departure from his characteristic minimalist style. Released on 13 November 1977, this iconic record was produced and co-written by the legendary Phil Spector, who brought his signature Wall of Sound recording method to the table. The result is a richly textured and ornate sound, replete with intricate arrangements and multiple layers of instrument overdubs.

This 42-minute masterpiece is a testament to Cohen's innovative spirit and willingness to experiment with new sounds. The tracklist is a veritable treasure trove of poetic and poignant songwriting, featuring standout tracks such as 'True Love Leaves No Traces', 'Iodine', and the titular 'Death of a Ladies' Man'. With its unique blend of singer-songwriter sensibilities and Spector's distinctive production style, Death of a Ladies' Man is an album that continues to captivate and inspire listeners to this day.

Originally released on the Columbia/Legacy label, this album has been re-released and re-appreciated over the years, with its influence extending far beyond the singer-songwriter genre. Leonard Cohen's Death of a Ladies' Man is a must-listen for fans of the artist and the era, offering a fascinating glimpse into the creative vision of two musical legends.

This 2017 Reissue Repress LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

Spector and Cohen's Musical Misstep
3 out of 5 stars

Cohen and Spector: What brought these two together? Likely involved drugs and booze. Whatever sparked it, it was a blunder! Totally different folks with totally different outlooks on life and music. Spector's wall of sound buries Cohen's voice. But since Cohen sounds like he's completely out of it, maybe that's not such a terrible thing.
Disappointing Cohen Album Mix
3 out of 5 stars
JzimicFebruary 1, 2024United States🇺🇸
Having spent countless hours with Cohen's discography, I've grown to value the expansive soundstage and excellent production, especially from the '80s albums onward. However, this particular record left me underwhelmed. The mix feels muddled, with vocals and instruments all blending into a distant backdrop. The soundstage also lacks depth. Sure, I know this album isn't everyone's favorite due to its lyrics and songwriting not quite hitting the mark of his other works, but still: from a sonic perspective, this album (or perhaps just this specific pressing?) isn't one I'd recommend adding to your collection.
