Some People Want It All: Vinyl Me, Please Announces Color Vinyl Reissue of “The Diary of Alicia Keys”

November 19, 2020 By Sam Stone Leave a Comment

AliciaKeys DiaryOf VMP 2200

PRE-ORDER FROM VINYL ME, PLEASE

“Everything means nothing, if I ain’t got you…”  The refrain was inescapable in 2003, when Alicia Keys’ instant classic “If I Ain’t Got You” dominated the radio and reached a cross-section of audiences that had rarely been seen before.

The track is a highlight among many on her second album, The Diary of Alicia Keys.  The chart-topping, Grammy-winning album defied the concept of the sophomore slump.  It stayed on the Billboard Albums listing for 88 weeks and has been certified 5x-Platinum by the RIAA.  Upon its release, it was instantly recognized as a career highpoint and a timeless R&B classic.

Now, after 17 years unavailable on vinyl, Legacy Recordings and the subscription service Vinyl Me, Please will remaster and reissue the landmark 2-LP set on oak-and-ivory-hued vinyl.  The set is due to ship in January 2021.  It’s available to any fan, although VMP members will receive a discount off this pressing, which is sure to be coveted by vinyl aficionados and R&B fans everywhere.  Better yet, $2 of every purchase will be donated to Keep a Child Alive, a cause co-founded by Alicia Keys that provides support to HIV/AIDS-impacted communities across India and Africa.

You can purchase your copy of the newly remastered, “oak and ivory” 2-LP set from Vinyl Me, Please, and peruse the track listing below!

Sam Stone

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.
