{"product_id":"the_grace_eps","title":"The Grace EPs","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Grace EPs is a 2002 box set collecting five rare Jeff Buckley EPs—Peyote Radio Theatre, So Real (also known as Live at Nighttown), Live from the Bataclan, The Grace EP, and Last Goodbye—originally issued around the time of his 1994 debut album Grace. Across five discs and roughly two hours of music, it pulls together radio promos, import‑only singles, and live releases that had been hard to find, including studio cuts like Mojo Pin, Dream Brother (Nag Champa Mix), and Kanga‑Roo, alongside live performances of So Real, Grace, Dream Brother, The Way Young Lovers Do, Je n’en connais pas la fin \/ Hymne à l’amour, Hallelujah, Tongue, and Lost Highway. Later vinyl and CD editions present the material as a 5‑LP\/box or as part of a combined Grace + EPs package, making this once‑collector‑only material widely accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtistically, the set functions less like a batch of outtakes and more like an extended portrait of Buckley at his creative peak, especially as a live performer. The Bataclan and Nighttown recordings showcase his ability to reshape covers—Big Star’s Kanga‑Roo, Van Morrison’s The Way Young Lovers Do, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, French chanson standards—into something intimate and otherworldly, carried by his elastic tenor and improvisatory phrasing. Critics note that there is overlap and redundancy (certain tracks like Kanga‑Roo and Hallelujah appear in multiple versions, and Tongue is essentially a loose studio jam), but for listeners who have already fallen in love with Grace, the EPs offer a deeper immersion in Buckley’s small but luminous catalog, emphasizing the freedom, emotional directness, and sheer vocal power that made his live shows so revered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Boxset - 5LP Boxset","offer_id":53704808169786,"sku":"39073","price":116.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-08_at_7.22.25_PM.jpeg?v=1783553058","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/the_grace_eps","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
