Painting Signs stands up as a complete work from beginning to end Eric Bibb makes a fine case for blues as a music of introspection warmth and supreme nuance Easily his most mature album to date Painting Signs continues Bibbs formula of socially aware songs performed from an acutely personal pointofview standout tracks Dont Ever Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down and a cover of Hope in a Hopeless World hammer home his message of individual freedom and the responsibilities that accompany it Its no coincidence that Pops Staples to whom Bibb dedicates this album once recorded the latter song Thats not to say Painting Signs is overly didactic or indeed heavy in any way even the most serious songs here like the plea for peace and unity Got To Do Better are leavened by a musical backdrop thats soulful and immediately accessible Gospelleaning backing vocals by Linda Tillery and her C ultural Heritage Choir help flesh out several cuts and robust accordion fills by Bibbs longtime accompanist Janne Petersson add a subtle Louisiana flavor to the rolling propulsive Kokomo and to surprisingly good effect the deepgrooved version of Jimmy Reeds Honest I Do Elsewhere he keeps a minimalist tone dominated by acoustic guitar an arrangement thats particularly mesmerizing on the chilling title track With its emphasis on sophisticated songcraft and its gentle blend of folk gospel and country influences Painting Signs presents Bibb as an artist intent on blurring the line between blues and roots music in general AMG/Kenneth Bays

About Pure Pleasure:
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Pure Pleasure all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.

During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existent tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.

A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.

We should like to emphasize that Pure Pleasure Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle.

We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.

To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.
