Looking for CD Famous Blue R. from Cohen (not J. Warnes)
Looking for CD Famous Blue R. from Cohen (not J. Warnes)
Hi,
I'm looking for a rare (limited edition?) cd from Leonard Cohen, called 'Famous Blue Raincoat', sung by himself. It was brought onto the market around the same time as the CD 'Famous Blue Raincoat' by Jennifer Warnes. Unfirtunately we had it, but lost the CD.. Has anyone heard of this CD and can tell me were to find it?
Thanks!
Msc.

Must be a bootleg, but someone here is sure to have it!

I hope so! It seems rather unfindable..

Hi
I've never heard of this album. Perhaps it was kind of compilation/best of? Do you remember the cover artwork or some of the songs included? Was the version of Famous Blue Raincoat the same as the album version? When did you buy it? ...
Any more info would be helpful...
Curious to know what album you're talking about...
All the best

It had exactly the same songs as the other cs 'famous blue raincoat', but then not sung by Jennifer, but by Leonard. Bought around the same time. I don't know the cover art..

Are you refering to this album: http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/cover1.html ?
If so, the disc you're looking for also contains a version of "Song Of Bernadette" sung by mr Cohen... ?!
I doubt whether this disc exists, but if it does, I'd like a copy! Are you sure you're not mixing things up with another album/artist/...?
All good things

Re: Looking for CD Famous Blue R. from Cohen (not J. Warnes)
I'm sure. But I guess no one knows this cd.. Anyway, thanks for your help everyone!
Re: Looking for CD Famous Blue R. from Cohen (not J. Warnes)
Sounds like a bootleg to me, especially as it came out at the same time and had the same name as the popular Jennifer Warnes CD. Having said that, it's not a bootleg I've ever heard of.MSc wrote:Hi,

I remember Leonard saying something about singing "Song Of Bernadette" and here it is:
http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/rte.html
HOW THE HEART APPROACHES WHAT IT YEARNS
Interview with Leonard Cohen presented by John McKenna
RTE Ireland, May 9 & 12, 1988, transcribed by Martin Godwyn.
Seems Leonard himself says that he never sang this song alone, but It would be VERY interesting if his duet with Jennifer was in fact recorded somewhere!
That quote by Leonard is from the following interview on the files:Leonard Cohen: “But I never sang the song alone; I've only sung it with Jennifer.”

I do know it. I even own a copy of it. Can't remember when I bought it, but it's been years ago. And it certainly is not a bootleg.But I guess no one knows this cd.
Amazon.de(!!!) offers some used copies via marketplace:

Re: Looking for CD Famous Blue R. from Cohen (not J. Warnes)
We all have that album, Dennis, by J. Warnes. This thread is about a CD with the same title, but by LC and not Jennifer.
I still don't believe it exists (until someone shows it!)

Oh, I see.
