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


Lisa Loeb is awesome!
Her music speaks to me and I can totally relate to it. This is Carol Butler's son writing this, and I have to say that I absolutely adore Lisa Loeb. 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. .


Pretty good, but not great
I think this is an interesting CD, but nearly all of the songs have already been released. 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!. 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.


Beautiful Acousitc Lisa
With just her voice and guitar, and about 100 people in the tiny room, I was blown away. Soldifying my love of Lisa Loeb was my seeing her in concert at Schubas in Chicago in 2002. 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.


a time capsule opened...
(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.
