Craft Recordings delivers a remastered reissue of one of jazz piano legend Bill Evans' finest studio albums, the posthumous 1981 release You Must Believe in Spring, in 180-gram vinyl, CD, hybrid stereo SACD (playable on all CD players), and digital formats.  Produced by Tommy LiPuma and Evans' longtime manager Helen Keane and engineered by Al Schmitt, You Must Believe in Spring has long been acclaimed as perhaps Evans' best-sounding album.  It was also his final studio recording with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Eliot Zigmund.  The album features original material as well as new interpretations of classic melodies by Michel Legrand and  Johnny Mandel, among others.   The 180-gram 2-LP vinyl release of You Must Believe in Spring boasts all-analog mastering, cut at 45 RPM from the original tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio.  The CD, hybrid SACD, and high-resolution digital editions feature three bonus tracks, all of which were originally issued on Rhino's 2003 expanded edition.  Audio for the CD, high resolution digital, and SACD versions has been transferred from the original master tapes using the Plangent Processes and newly remastered by Paul Blakemore. The SACD release is exclusive to the Craft Recordings store while other formats will be available at general retail.
