Ryan Adams - Love is Hell (Numbered Vinyl 3LP Box Set)
Ryan Adams' Love Is Hell is a deeply personal and emotionally raw exploration of romantic despair, loneliness, and self-reflection. Originally released as two EPs in late 2003, this hauntingly atmospheric collection was initially deemed too dark by Adams’ record label, only to later be recognized as one of his most devastatingly beautiful works. Now, presented as a numbered-edition 33RPM 3LP box set from Mobile Fidelity Silver Label, this edition captures every nuance of Adams' intimate vocals, stark acoustic guitars, and melancholic piano arrangements in stunning audiophile clarity.
This expanded edition includes seven extra tracks from the Japanese-only bonus disc, making the third LP an essential companion to the album’s original sequence. Featuring Adams’ aching, stripped-down cover of Oasis’ "Wonderwall", the chilling title track, and the delicate despair of "Political Scientist" and "The Shadowlands," this definitive pressing brings Adams’ most vulnerable and poetic work into stunning focus.
