About

22 vinyl records from early folk albums to late-stage studio and live LPs; several original pressings tracked with live market prices.

Leonard Cohen emerged as a distinct voice from Canada in the late 1960s, blending literary songwriting with minimalist folk and pop arrangements. His earliest works, including "Songs of Leonard Cohen" (1968), introduced a stark poetic style accompanied by soft guitar and his deep voice. Over subsequent decades, Cohen experimented with richer instrumentation and synthesizers, as on the 1988 album "I'm Your Man," recorded mainly in Montreal and mixed in Los Angeles.

Alongside studio albums, Cohen's catalog features numerous live recordings—such as the 2009 "Live In London"—capturing his evolving performance style. Later works include "Popular Problems" (2014) and "Thanks For The Dance" (2019), the latter released posthumously.
