    Product Description
    Grammy-nominated and multi-talented singer songwriter Lisa Loeb takes fans on a colorful journey back in time with the reissue on CD of The Purple Tape, Loeb's first recording, made in 1992. This double disc includes the earliest recordings of several Loeb favorites including 'Do You Sleep,' 'Snow Day,' 'Train Songs,' 'This,' 'Airplanes' and 'It's Over.' In addition to the original tracks from The Purple Tape, the CD version includes a full second disc with live, acoustic performances of 'Snow Day,' and 'Stay (I Missed You),' along with an in-depth new interview with Lisa, where she ruminates on the early days, talks about the songs and the songwriting process and offers up sage advice to the next generation of emerging artists.

    If you like Lisa Loeb, a very acoustic version of the songs we know. Very good!


    5 out of 5 stars Lisa Loeb is awesome!   February 25, 2009
    Carol A. Butler (Orlando, FL)
    This is Carol Butler's son writing this, and I have to say that I absolutely adore Lisa Loeb. Her music speaks to me and I can totally relate to it. I love the raw acoustic sound, and sometimes, her band drowns out her voice, and she has to sing louder than usual, which is bad for her. I was so glad that this was re-released on CD. I own all her albums, except for "Catch the Moon". I met her when she came to Orlando, and she was very nice to me. I recommend this album to all fans, especially ones who want to hear early Lisa Loeb.

    I consider myself to be a pretty big Lisa Loeb fan, I have purchased all of her CD's, saw her in concert and watched her show on E!. I think this is an interesting CD, but nearly all of the songs have already been released. The interview disc is interesting, but it is not something I am going to listen to over and over. I am not giving this 5 stars because I would have like to have seen at least one previously unreleased track.

    Soldifying my love of Lisa Loeb was my seeing her in concert at Schubas in Chicago in 2002. With just her voice and guitar, and about 100 people in the tiny room, I was blown away. From the moment she opened her mouth to sing the opening line of "This"...In an open room that echos well....I was transfixed. Though a lot of my favorite Lisa songs are on the more recent albums, this release is super because it's almost exculsively just her voice and guitar just like that concert. Not only that, but I feel closer to Lisa than ever with the bonus interview disc. I didn't release the depression Lisa suffered from, something I've fought for more years than I care to mention. Certainly if you're a Lisa fan you're going to be wanting this release.

    (my review for iTunes) ::
    This album was originally released only on cassette tape in the early 90's, by lisa herself... before a record company & the major label albums that everyone knows her for. this recording has been in high demand by fans ever since, and lisa has been promising to release it. that day has finally come. if you want just the album, download the first 10 tracks for $9.90. tracks 11-33 are what is on the 2nd disc of the physical release, and are commentary tracks (with the exception of the 2 in-studio tracks at the end). every song is raw, acoustic, just lisa & her guitar... some of her best songs appear on this re-release, in their original form.
