Porcelain makes Stereophile list...after 19 years

One of the greatest female voices and albums ever is Porcelain by Julia Fordham. One of the people at Stereophile has it on this year's "Records to Die For" list....it was released in 1989,...well better late than never. If you don't have this CD, buy it.

I have a live cd of hers that is a Japanese pressing and was an event somewhere in England. All of the songs are from her first two albums...the self titled "Julia Fordham" and "Porcelain". Her cd "Swept" in greatly underated..and is worth a try.

I look forward to the February Stereophile each year to find good music I may be unfamiliar with. I listened to the Porcelian sound samples on Amazon and bought it immediately. There were lots of used(and new)copies available. I purchased a "gently used" edition for $.80 (plus $2.98 for shipping). This has to be the bargain of the decade!

I have five Fordham CDs and at one time was a big fan ("Swept" is a nice CD, also), so I fully agree that "Porcelain" is a must-own CD. I listen to Fordham infrequently today, but "Porcelain" still comes across as somewhat timeless.
