    It’s one of the two bonus tracks on the Target-exclusive CD.

    eu .. pressed at optimal yeah id say its as good as any audiophile pressing of recent. its pressed in a very similar way to the blue note 80 series even the jacket is the same. all pressings were cut at sterling.. in fact id say its her best pressed album going back about 3 records .

    Actually it turns out its one of two bonus tracks on the Target exclusive edition.

    Norah Jones - Pick Me Up Off The Floor (Target Exclusive, CD)

    Also supposed to be on deluxe editions outside of the US.

    I have no dog in this fight but I noticed this release featured on one of the online music sales sites and immediately noticed how awful this album cover is. The design is completely unappealing. The awkward cover photograph in conjunction with the album title just comes off as ridiculous and half-baked. I agree with all the other posters here who chimed in to say that they think this album cover is terrible (they're right.)

    Other than that, I have no opinion or interest in her music. I hope that those who are interested in her music find it to be a wonderful album.

    The performance videos Norah has posted on YouTube all this spring have been one of the highlights of this time for me. I absolutely love them.

    She has done covers, songs from throughout her career, etc. This latest highlights solo piano versions of several songs from the new album. Gorgeous as always:

    I'm loving this new album! I ripped the Target cd to my server, and have the LP on order. I'm a huge fan anyways. The album sounds great, and her performances are great as to be expected.

    LP arrived this afternoon from Amazon and I enjoyed it upon first listen. Unfortunately my cartridge was bouncing up and down and all around.

    A flat, clean pressing lately seems a rarity.

    Very nice vinyl. Blue Note gives a crap (naysayers in here be damed). Cool record. Good sound. Great songs.

    Shes kinda in a corner the yuppie clodplay crowd digs her. Older people dig her. So the cover is offensive to both. Which is great.

    Such a great voice. For my age she is the greatest real pure singer. A singer of paverotti timelessnes.

    This is an amazing album! I picked up the Target cd for the bonus tracks, and as usual, I will doubling up by getting this on vinyl. I am absolutely delighted with this! Anyone have the Indie version on vinyl?

    I ordered my black and white vinyl copy from jpc.de (it hasnt arrived yet) but I noticed that this version gets a lot of bad reviews on that site because there is something supposedly wrong with this one (noisy pressing?). Anyone have any idea what they are talking about? Maybe because its a split-color the black color side has no surface noise but the white side is noisy?

    Disappointed for myself. This is pretty mundane for me. She has done some terrific work over the years. I heard her first album playing in a Borders Book Store music department and bought it on the spot.

    I like the album cover. It feels like an old Jazz record cover. Imperfect B&W photo with lots of texture, vintage font in warm colors. It's nice. The back cover photo is gorgeous too.

    I’ve got it - looks nice, doesn’t sound that great. Quite noisy..

    My copy arrived from jpc.de and unfortunately it was horribly warped - its hard to say whether it was like from the start or if this occured during transit (we`ve had a big heatwave here for the last week).
