The A – Z Recordings
''The A – Z Recordings'' is an eight-volume live album by Australian rock musician, Paul Kelly, which was released on 24 September 2010 on Gawd Aggie Records in Australia and Universal Import in North America. It had been recorded from a series of performances from 2004 to 2010 on Kelly's A – Z Tours in various locations. The tours led to Kelly writing his memoir, ''How to Make Gravy'' (named for the song of the same name), also in September 2010. Kelly's A – Z Tours continued until March 2012. ''Rolling Stone''s Jason Cohen described the release as "a 106-track, eight-CD boxed set culled from Kelly's now-trademark A to Z live performances" and, with the associated memoir, Kelly "might be creating the world's longest CD liner notes" at 568 pages.
==Background==
The ''The A – Z Recordings'' originate from a series of acoustic concerts by Australian rock musician, Paul Kelly starting in December 2004 with 100 songs performed alphabetically over four nights at The Famous Spiegeltent in Melbourne.〔 In November–December 2006 Kelly undertook his A – Z Tour at the Brisbane Powerhouse, Melbourne's Spiegeltent, and at the Sydney Opera House.〔〔〔 On his A – Z Tours, over subsequent years to 2010, Kelly was often accompanied by his nephew, Dan Kelly, on guitar and vocals and sometimes by his then-girlfriend, Sian Prior,〔 on clarinet and vocals.〔〔〔 For some of his North American shows, he cut back his performance to only one or two nights, "the speed-dial version".〔 Kelly would provide anecdotes or background for each song, which led to his writing a memoir, ''How to Make Gravy'' (named for the song of the same name), issued in September 2010.〔 The book contains a chapter per song with the lyrics supplied followed by Kelly's description of varied topics. According to ''Rolling Stone''s Jason Cohen, Kelly "might be creating the world's longest CD liner notes" at 568 pages.〔 It was released in "tandem with ''The A to Z Recordings'', a 106-track, eight-CD boxed set culled from Kelly's now-trademark A to Z live performances".〔 The boxed set was issued on 24 September 2010 by Gawd Aggie Records in Australia and Universal Import in North America.〔〔 In October that year, the book and boxed set were packaged together and issued as ''How to Make Gravy: The A – Z Recordings''.〔
In January 2011 ''The Sydney Morning Herald''s Bernard Zuel caught the first two nights of a four night set, he disputed the "accepted wisdom that acoustic performances were the test of a song's lasting quality" and preferred when Kelly's nephew Dan "add() colour guitar or extra vocals to particular songs" or when Prior "provided scattered 'furnishings', playing clarinet, briefly bringing some operatic vocals to the party and noticeably brightening proceedings".〔 Zuel felt the first night was "lacking some energy, vocal and physical" and that "the show's highlights came in the purely solo songs about or from the perspective of women".〔 Kelly's A – Z Tours continued until March 2012.〔
