Director's Cut is Kate's ninth studio album, released on May 16, 2011, via her own label, Fish People. On this album, Kate revisits selected tracks from her albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes. She re - recorded some elements while retaining the best musical performances of each song, creating a sound - based 'director's cut' rather than a visual one.

To enjoy this vinyl record, first make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable, align the needle with the start of the groove, and let the music play. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the playing surface. After use, store the record in its sleeve and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain the quality of the sound and the record itself for a long time.
