Absolutely amazing!, November 22, 1999
By A Customer
The Indigo Girls pull you in with their incredible lyrics, heartfelt vocals, and voices that can range from soft and sensual to tormented and wild. They play to every possible human emotion, and their music seems to dive right into the depths of your soul, where you thought you'd never let anyone in, and touch you in a way no other band ever could. Their first album has been a favorite of mine ever since I was a little girl, and as I grew I also began to appreciate it in different ways. "Closer To Fine" will always make me smile and hum along. "Blood and Fire" makes me remember the love of my life, and how I would felt when he left - it tears at me every time I hear it because it simply rings so true. If you are thinking about buying this album, I cannot tell you enough that this will be the best money ever spent on a CD - well worth it!

Good for collectors, but not needed if you have the original, July 9, 2000
This review is from: Indigo Girls (Audio CD)
I already had a number of IG CDs when I found this Gold Disc in the music store. I bought it on the spot and ran home to play it on my CD player. I played it over and over and swapped the original silver CD with the Gold CD to see if I could tell a difference, and I couldn't.
The CD comes in a cool cardboard/paper sleeve that the jewel box fits in, but other than that, and the gold color (and 24kt gold content) of the disc, there is absolutely no difference... especially in the sound.
When you turn the volume up all the way on both the original, you hear the pops and squeaks as the guitarists hands and fingers move along the strings. The gold edition of this disc still includes these pops and squeaks. They weren't removed, and if this gold version is supposedly "re-mastered" from the original, it must have been re-mastered for the hearing range of bats, because I can not tell the difference.
If you're into collecting everything they've ever done, or you don't already own the original version of this CD, this is a good buy... the gold version will supposedly last longer, but it's not like you're going to be saving the silver version for your great-great grandchildren. Unless you leave your CDs on the dashboard of your car in the hot sun, the silver version should last past your life time anyway.

Great, November 3, 2003
Their voices are powerful and the harmonizing artistic. Hard to believe voices and acoutistic guitar is all that they needed to make such a fun and fantastic CD.
