1989 (Taylor's Version) [2XLP Crystal Skies Blue Vinyl]

With 1989 being one of Taylor Swift's biggest and most momentous contributions to the world of pop, there was no doubt that the highly anticipated re-recording was going to be anything less than spectacular. Yet with the release of 1989 (Taylor's Version), Swift proves once more that she's perfectly capable of one-upping her own record –– both in terms of quality and cultural impact.

1989 (Taylor's Version) builds upon the already strong backbone of it's original recording to deliver extra layers and elements to the already beloved pop masterpiece. Whether it's the glimmering synthesizers utilized, or addition of new backing vocals and harmonizations, such additions to an already spectacular pop formula further showcase Swift's artistry in all her musical efforts. Nevertheless, this re-recording revisits the album we've come to love with a sense of nostalgia and timelessness that not many musicians are able to elicit.

Though the record may feature the least amount of From the Vault tracks in comparison to her other re-recordings, what Swift presents in 1989 (Taylor's Version) are an excellent selection of tracks that could be very well be considered as her best supplementary material to date. Is it Over Now? stands out as a phenomenal closer for the record with it's high-scale production making such a profound impact, while Say Don't Go is a powerful piece in storytelling that lingers on with listeners after every listen. Together with these note-worthy unreleased tracks, this record of Swift's could very well be her best re-recording to date.

On this vinyl edition, the pressing features a double disc vinyl set pressed on 'Crystal Skies' blue vinyl and features a collectible album gatefold jacket with unique front and back cover art. As an essential from Swift's discography and for the pop genre overall, this album is a must-have that comes with the highest of recommendations from Acetate Music. Don't sleep on this one!
