Originally issued on A&M Records in 1975, Diamonds & Rust marked a change in direction for Baez; it gave her songs of the heart and politics an unashamedly commercial veneer, returning her to the US Top 20 for the first time in four years - This re-issue, released to mark the album's 50th anniversary, faithfully replicates the original A&M UK release and is pressed on 180gm vinyl
