KW-07-2018: Today on Radio – Interview with Leonard Cohen – The Joe Jackson Tapes Revisited: Leonard Cohen, 2018 February 18th at 6pm, RTE Radio 1.

The Joe Jackson Tapes Revisited: Leonard Cohen, February 18th at 6pm, RTE Radio 1.
When Joe Jackson first interviewed one of his life-long heroes Leonard Cohen, in 1985, it was, in Jackson’s words, „more of a chat than an interview and I was, and sound like, just another Cohen fan happy to hear anything his hero might say. At that level it’s not a great interview.“ You can listen to it in full above.
In the latest edition of The Joe Jackson Tapes Revisited on RTÉ Radio 1, Jackson also says that this programme, based on that 1985 interview, and an interview, in 1988, is „different from any other show in this series in that, although I am not a fan of interviewers who see themselves as more important than interviewees, I am part of this story because the first interview made me decide to become an interviewer. In that sense this show is purely for fellow Cohen fans.“
„Journalistically speaking,“ Jackson adds, „this programme probably features too much of my own story, embarrassingly so, at times, but making it I did slip back into the fan-meets-his-hero mode that dominated my first encounter with Cohen. But in my defence I also remember Cohentelling me, during this interview in 1985, my first, that he loved to hear about the ways in which people had been affected by his work, and by his life. Meeting him changed my life. In that sense the show is a tribute.“

KW-03-2018: #GREATEST HITS by LEONARD COHEN . The Neverending Story of Leonard Cohen´s #GREATEST HITS – Album . Here is another one… Here it is the #“The Complete Studio Albums Collection“ – On EBAY and AMAZON the rare US-Edition is sold for more than 1000 dollars … (part 2)
Leonard Cohen: „The Complete Studio Albums Collection“ (Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music)
Vö.-Termin: 07.10.2011 Album-Collection mit 11 bzw. 14 Alben.
Leonhard Cohen ist einer der größten Songwriter unserer Zeit (gewesen) und ist es irgebdwie noch immer. Als er am am 21. September 2011 seinen 77. Geburtstag feierte, erschien wenige Wochen später, am 7. Oktober, ein sensationelles Box-Set, das einen perfekten Überblick über Leonard Cohens Karriere bietet: THE COMPLETE STUDIO ALBUMS COLLECTION. Dieses 11 Alben umfassende Box-Set enthält sämtliche Studio-Aufnahmen des Künstlers, die zwischen 1967 und 2004 entstanden sind. Alle Alben wurden anhand der analogen Originalaufnahmen remastert. 
Die elf Alben dokumentieren die unvergleichliche Schönheit der Kompositionen Leonhard Cohens. Nachfolgend die detaillierte Liste der Alben in chronologischer Reihenfolge ihrer Original-VÖs.
· SONGS OF LEONARD COHEN (VÖ: Dezember 1967)
· SONGS FROM A ROOM (April 1969)
– SONGS OF LOVE AND HATE (März 1971)
· NEW SKIN FOR THE OLD CEREMONY (August 1974)
· DEATH OF A LADIES‘ MAN (November 1977)
· RECENT SONGS (September 1979)
· VARIOUS POSITIONS (Februar 1985)
· I’M YOUR MAN (Februar 1988)
· THE FUTURE (November 1992)
· TEN NEW SONGS (Oktober 2001)
· DEAR HEATHER (Oktober 2004)
Weiterhin wird auch ein 17 CDs umfassendes Deluxe-Set mit einem 36-seitgen Booklet mit diskographischen Hintergrundinfos zur Produktion der einzelnen Alben und einem ausführlichen Essay von Pico Iyer erscheinen. Diese limitierte Ausgabe des Box Sets kann nur auf www.LeonardCohen.com bestellt werden und enhält zusätzlich die LIVE-ALBEN:
· LIVE AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT (2009)
· COHEN LIVE IN LONDON (2009)
· COHEN LIVE IN CONCERT 1994 (Oktober 1994) 
„Cohen lässt sich keiner Kategorie zuordnen …“, schreibt Iyer in seinem Essay, „… in seinen Songs trifft die hohe Kultur auf Straßenslang und Buddha auf den Blues. Er überrascht den Hörer stets aufs Neue … Cohen lebte in Nashville, in L.A., im Mount Baldy Zen Center. Er verbrachte Monate seines Lebens auf der autofreien griechischen Insel Hydra, die wegen ihrer Klöster bekannt ist und auf der mehr Esel als Menschen wohnen. Filmemacher wie Rainer Werner Fassbinder oder Oliver Stone wurden von seinen Songs inspiriert und er stand selbst vor der Kamera – als Chef von Interpol in der Fernsehserie Miami Vice. Er hat eine Buch mit Psalmen herausgebracht und mit Elton John im Duett gesungen. Alles, was wir über ihn wissen, ist falsch.“
This is the rare box set entitled THE COMPLETE COLUMBIA ALBUMS COLLECTION by the recently deceased Canadian Zen monk guru poet singer Leonard Cohen.
Unlike the much less rare Complete Studio Albums Collection, this box set contains 18 CDs and is a much more comprehensive set. 
Of all the legendary singer-songwriters who emerged in the 1960s, few loom as large, or carry as much mystique, as Leonard Cohen. His vivid, haunting compositions showcase a unique voice, and his singular body of work has exercised a massive influence over multiple generations of artists. The Montreal-born Cohen was already established as a respected poet and novelist when he turned his creative attention towards songwriting. After being signed to Columbia Records by fabled A&R man John Hammond, his debut album Songs of Leonard Cohen became an instant classic upon its release in late 1967, thanks to such startlingly original songs as „Suzanne,“ „Sisters of Mercy“ and „So Long, Marianne.“ The subsequent Songs from a Room and Songs of Love and Hate sealed his status as an artist to be reckoned with. Cohen continued to conquer new territory with such ’70s releases as New Skin for the Old Ceremony, Recent Songs and his controversial 1977 collaboration with Phil Spector, Death of a Ladies‘ Man, followed by such adventurous works as Various Positions, I’m Your Man and the apocalyptic The Future. More recent releases like Ten New Songs and Dear Heather demonstrate that Cohen continues to make music that’s as challenging as anything in his catalog. Meanwhile, the six live albums that he has released over the years—Live Songs, Cohen Live, Field Commander Cohen: Tour of 1979, Live in London, Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 and Songs from the Road—find the artist revisiting, and often drastically reworking, his remarkable compositions. Albums Included: Songs of Leonard Cohen Songs From a Room Songs of Love and Hate Live Songs New Skin for the Old Ceremony Death of a Ladies‘ Man Recent Songs Various Positions I’m Your Man The Future Cohen Live Field Commander Cohen: Tour of 1979 10 New Songs Dear Heather Live in London — 2 CDs Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 Song From the Road
