Hendrix's Most Storied Live Three-Night Stand Comes to Brilliant Life on Stellar, Audiophile-Quality Box Set
Features Tons of Performances Not Available on Any Other Release
Six 1968 Concerts from San Francisco's Historic Venue Reshaped Rock and Roll: Here Are the Highlights
8LP Edition Annihilates All Previous Winterland Compilations: Tremendous Sonics and Insight
Also Includes 36-Page Book and Rare Backstage Interview With Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock performance may be his most famous, but the guitarist named by Rolling Stone as the best in history was never better than at a three-night stand in San Francisco, putting on a total of six concerts that fans have long clamored to hear. Featuring the creme de la creme of said performances, now everyone finally gets their wish.
Winterland is drawn from said six stellar shows recorded over three days (October 10, 11 and 12, 1968) at San Francisco's historic Winterland Ballroom. These special performances celebrated the two-year anniversary of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and came just as the groundbreaking album Electric Ladyland was released. Even given the era's rich history, you'll be hard-pressed to come up with any concert that rivals what's here.
As many already know, Winterland presents some of Hendrixs most spectacular guitar work. This scintillating set is filled with rare live versions of classic songs such as "Manic Depression," "Are You Experienced?," "Tax Free," and "Little Wing" that are not part of any other Sony Legacy releases. Fans will also enjoy Hendrixs dramatic interpretations of Creams "Sunshine Of Your Love" and Howlin Wolfs "Killing Floor" (with the Experience joined by Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady) as well his rendition of Bob Dylans "Like A Rolling Stone," which many critics and fans regard as the ultimate interpretation.
Pressed on 8 x 180g LPs, this special deluxe box set features never before released music from each of the six unforgettable Winterland performances. Please note that Winterland is now markedly different from the flawed single disc compilation, long out of print, briefly issued by Rykodisc in 1987 and 1988. Moreover, Winterland also presents a rare interview with Hendrix recorded backstage at the Boston Garden a few weeks after the Winterland performances. This previously unreleased bonus provides fans with a unique window into Hendrixs views about his background, his approach to the guitar, and songwriting and future direction of his music.
As should be required for any such box set, Winterland features a 36-page booked filled with previously unpublished images by acclaimed photographers Robert Knight, Allen Tannenbaum, and Jim Marshall, as well as an essay by noted Rolling Stone journalist David Fricke.

Legacy's unprecedented archival restoration of Jimi Hendrix's catalog continues with more treasures. Consisting of live material recorded at venues ranging from the Berkeley Community Theatre and the San Diego Sports Arena to the Isle of Wight Festival, Hendrix In The West captures the guitarist exploring new directions in sound during 1969-70. Robert Christgau, the Dean of American Rock Critics, called Hendrix's versions of "Red House" and "Johnny B. Goode" on this album "definitive."
Out of print in the US since 1974 and for more than two decades internationally, Hendrix In The West has remained one of the most requested albums by fans to return to the commercial marketplace. Mastered from the original sources and pressed on high-quality 180 gram vinyl, and up to the same stellar standards as Legacy's reissues of Hendrix's groundbreaking studio efforts, the record has never sounded or looked better.
The album's iconic cover features a classic Jim Marshall photograph of the guitarist, while a lavish booklet is filled with rare and previously unseen images captured by Marshall's distinctive lens. Moreover, listeners get to discover five previously unavailable bonus tracks that, believe it or not, add on to Hendrix's considerable legacy. In addition to the Chuck Berry cover, Hendrix also re-imagines the Beatles ("Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band") and Carl Perkins ("Blue Suede Shoes").

Ever since they rocketed out of Queens in 1974, the Ramones have inspired countless kids worldwide to pick up guitars and rock. Bringing a bubblegum sensibility to the fast-and-hard mentality, their primal sound is considered a blueprint for all things resembling snotty, catchy, ear-bleeding punk rock.
This is the album that started it all! Recorded in around a week for a little over $6,000, the Ramones self-titled 1976 debut is loud, fast, hook laden and unadorned, all characteristics that help make it arguably the best and most influential album to come out of New York's heralded '70s punk scene. With tracks like "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Beat on the Brat," "Judy Is A Punk" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend," for its first four songs, it's hard to argue otherwise.
Track Listing:
1. Blitzkrieg Bop 2. Beat On The Brat

 Chicago/The Blues/Today! (Pure Pleasure)
Various Artists
$99.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl - 3 LPs Sealed
|
In early 1966, blues history was made with the issuance of a three-volume set of new recordings produced by blues historian Samuel Charters. This series was known as "Chicago/The Blues/Today!" and the release sent shock waves through the world of rock & roll. Every artist on the three volumes had recorded before (some, like Otis Rush and Junior Wells, had actually seen small hits on the R&B charts), but these recordings were largely their introduction to a newer -- and predominately white -- album-oriented audience. These recordings have stayed in print and have been reasonably good sellers over the years since their original release, all coming out on compact disc. This new packaging puts all three volumes together, but with no bonus tracks, as no extras were recorded for these sessions.
A plus in the new packaging, is that it features a nice booklet with detailed, updated notes from Charters, a nice appreciation from Ed Ward, and absolutely eye-boggling session photos taken by Charters' wife, Ann. Even if you still have the original vinyl or CDs, this is one of the times when it would be best to spend the dough and add this one to your collection, because blues records seldom come as important, innovative, or just plain pleasurable to listen to as this set. File under 'essential'.
Musicians:
- J.B. Hutto
- Junior Wells
- Otis Spann
- Otis Rush
- Jimmy Cotton
- Johnny Shines Blues Band
- Johnny Young's South Side Blues Band

About Pure Pleasure
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Pure Pleasure all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.
During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existent tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasize that Pure Pleasure Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle.
We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.
To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.

 Great Jazz Standards (Pure Pleasure)
Gil Evans
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
"Great Jazz Standards" was recorded when Evans was red-hot from two successes with Miles Davis, "Miles Ahead" and "Porgy And Bess".
Evans' signature brass choir is in place - creatively voiced, spaciously arranged, a supple, multi-coloured, sonically surprising counterpoint to a succession of superb soloists. The added bonus, for Evans' projects, is the foregrounding of saxophone and clarinet soloists Steve Lacy and Budd Johnson.
Lacy and the original swing-to-bop missing link, Johnson, are the ones who will make the hair on your neck curl. Lacy's solos on Monk's "Straight No Chaser" and John Lewis' "Django" must be some of the finest pre-free improvisations he recorded, already heading from quirky to out-there. Johnson's clarinet solo on Don Redman's spooky, swing-meets-whole tone classic, "Chant Of The Weed", and slow-burning, stirring tenor solo on Evans' "La Nevada" are some of the finest the all-but-forgotten genius ever recorded. Trumpeter Johnny Coles, has the inevitable misfortune of being compared to Miles Davis and being found to be ... different. Sunny, open and extroverted, he may not be a stylist of Davis' proportions, but he's an enjoyable alternative foil for Evans' arrangements.
A magnificent but neglected album, and still coming up fresh as daisies.
Musicians:
- Budd Johnson (tenor saxophone, clarinet)
- Steve Lacy (soprano saxophone)
- Al Block (woodwinds)
- Johnny Coles, Allen Smith (trumpet)
- Jimmy Cleveland (trombone)
- Bill Barber (tuba)
- Gil Evans (piano)
- Chuck Wayne (guitar)
- Dick Carter (bass)
- Elvin Jones (drums)

Ranked 287/500 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Originally released in 1968, the aspiring Anthem of the Sun is the second album from The Grateful Dead and it finds the band refining the dynamics of their live set in the confines of the studio while simultaneously challenging the conventions of the LP medium. The addition of lyricist Robert Hunter and percussionist Mickey Hart helps take the Dead's brand of improvisational psychedelia to new heights here and displays that they could be as equally transcendent in the studio.

The Grateful Dead's first seminal release of 1970 finds the band in an uncharacteristic acoustic setting paying homage to their country, blues and folk roots. Featuring concise songs and tighter arrangements, the timeless Workingman's Dead exhibits the band's true essence as American songwriters of the highest order and that their restless ambition existed in the studio as much as it did in concert. Workingman's Dead introduced such all-time Dead classics as "Uncle John's Band" and "Casey Jones" among others.

 Close Up Volume 3: States Of Being
Suzanne Vega
$29.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

WHAT a clever songwriter Suzanne Vega is.
Giving herself almost nowhere to hide the Santa Monica-born, New York-raised singer (who turns 52 tomorrow) re-models her own songs, allowing herself only the minimal of backing. States Of Being is a masterpiece, stripping back favourites like Undertow and Solitude Standing, over stately, echoing acoustic guitar so sparse the lyrics are thrown into sharp and moving relief. Fantastic.
HSMART move of Suzanne Vega to revisit her career catalogue in stripped down settings it brings out the best of her songs. Volume 3 consists of what she calls her mental health set, taking in fan favourites such as Undertow, Solitude Standing and Cracking, all of which reflect a state of mind. Added interest comes in the shape of Instant Of The Hour After, a new song based on the Carson McCullers short story Talks About Love and theatre piece of the same name.
Track Listing:
1. Undertow
2. When Heroes Go Down
3. My Favorite Plum

Diana Krall
$54.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl 45 RPM LP - 2 LPs Sealed

Available for the first time on 180 Gram 45rpm Double Vinyl! One of Diana's most sought after albums!
The first-ever live concert recording from Grammy®-winning vocalist/pianist Diana Krall was Recorded at the Paris Olympia Theatre. Here finally, captured in amazing audio quality, is an album showcasing the magic of Kralls concert performances.
Krall and her band perform some of the tunes from Kralls studio recordings, such as "East of the Sun (West of the Moon)" and "Devil May Care." They are joined by special guests John Pisano (acoustic guitar) and Paulinho DaCosta (percussion) for several tracks, including the Gershwins "Swonderful." The Orchestre Symphonique Europeen, conducted by Alan Broadbent with special guest conductor Claus Ogerman, is featured on the upbeat "Lets Fall in Love" and a haunting interpretation of "Ive Got You Under My Skin."
Soundstage Rated 5 out of 5 for Recording Quality!
"A favorite of audiophiles because her music and voice lend themselves to purist recording techniques, Diana Krall perpetually sounds in great form on her recordings... The sound, remastered by Bernie Grundman, is clear, spacious and well defined -- outstanding in every way, the backing players as vivid as Krall's voice and piano..." - Marc Mickelson, soundstage.com, May 2009
Featured on the album are live renditions of "The Look of Love," the title track from Kralls platinum-certified Verve release, her first recorded version of the Joni Mitchell-penned "A Case of You," and "Fly Me to the Moon," a song not included on the previously-released DVD Diana Krall Live in Paris (Eagle Eye/Pioneer Entertainment).
Also on this recording is a special bonus studio tracka rendition of Billy Joels "Just The Way You Are" featuring Michael Brecker's beautiful tenor sax solo.
"One of Diana Kralls most beloved CDs, Live in Paris, has been given a loving audiophile LP remastering treatment by ace engineer legend, Bernie Grundman and produced by an audiophile label new to us, Original Recordings. The shimmering string arrangements on Lets Fall in Love and Ive Got You Under My Skin, are testament alone to the real life power of vinyl..." - Audiophile Audition
"Bernie Grundmans remastering for vinyl puts Live in Paris in the gold plated category for the legions of Krall aficionados. This two-LP audiophile edition would make an ideal late night listening experience, or the perfect background soundtrack for a special dinner party." - Audiophile Audition
"The recording, engineered by legend Al Schmitt, sounded good on CD. But ORG's stellar two-disc, 180-gram vinyl reissue, remastered by Bernie Grundman, trumps it. Surfaces are dead quiet, and the LP is lighter on its feet, more layered, airier, finer grained, and more transparent. Live in Paris is a great addition to a choice LP collection." - Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, January 2010, Issue 200, reviewing the 180g ORG 33 1/3rpm version

This 1995 debut album is full of Tin Pan Alley showmanship, with a touch of Something/Anything? era Todd Rundgren meets Look Sharp! era Joe Jackson and an alternative rock sensibility.

The record failed to chart, but caused an intense bidding war among the majors eventually won by Sony Music. Here on 180g vinyl.

 Araca Azul
Caetano Veloso
$32.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Includes CD
Apparently when this album was originally released in 1972, confused and bewildered fans, expecting more of the same found on Transa, released earlier that year, returned the album to the shop, demanding a refund. Meanwhile, critics raved, and many now consider Araçá Azul, known as Veloso's "experimental album" to be one of his great creative moments.
To be fair to his many fans, it was a stark departure from his previous releases, which were decidedly more pop, but Veloso had been through a lot recently, having just returned from political exile in the U.K., so it is no wonder that the artist was feeling a bit like he needed to fly in the face of conformity.
In Veloso's own words, "I made this album without thinking, without taking the time to stop to think." He refers to the album's "insolent experimentalism" and calls it a kind of "last stand." 180 gram gatefold LP now enhanced with a bonus CD of the album.

The third and final album by Heatmiser, a band led by Elliott Smith and Hampshire College buddy Neil Gust, released in 1996 on Caroline Records, is hailed by all as their best effort. Unfortunately, the record was released as the band was breaking up.
The duo of Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf, that worked on both Elliott Smith solo albums for DreamWorks (XO and Figure 8), helped produce and record Mic City Sons. A true indie-rock classic that still sounds good today: if you are a fan of Elliott Smith you need this one as well. Here on 180 gram vinyl.

Considered to be among Mingus best albums, Tijuana Moods was recorded in the summer of 1957. Inspired by a trip to that well-known city of perdition, songs like "Ysabels Table Dance" and "Los Mariachis" were meant to evoke the moods of many a mans tequila-fueled misadventures there.

 Cosmic Priestess
Tia Carrera
$19.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
For well over a decade now, Tia Carrera have been melting minds with their own twist on the '70s rock n' roll jam. Mostly improvised, each live show is more of an experience than a performance, transporting you from wherever you are to places you didn't even know existed.
Erik Conn, Jason Morales and now permanent member Jamey Simms have taken their music to a new level both live and in the studio. Simms and Morales switch instruments seamlessly, sometimes mid-jam while Conn whales on, taking the listener on a wild, mind altering ride.
Their new release Cosmic Priestess, Small Stone 2011, highlights these elements to near perfection, bringing to the music new depths and lengths. Whether you're strapped to a chassis of a Texas hot rod in "Slave Cylinder," exploring the colorful world of a coral reef in "Sand, Stone and Pearl" or three quarters of the way through the near 33 minute "Saturn Missile Battery," Tia Carrera's improvisational scores will not disappoint.

Colored Vinyl
Deerhoofs Milk Man is being reissued on vinyl in celebration of the bands upcoming All Tomorrows Parties performance of the album in July of 2011 in London (alongside The Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr.).
The starting point for Milk Man was actually a cartoon character created by Japanese artist Ken Kagami, a longtime friend of Deerhoof vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki. In contrast to the earnest guitar rock that predominated on their previous album Apple O', Milk Man featured a broad palette of orchestral colors, echoes of music theater and camp, polished and gaudy arrangements, Stravinskian harmonies, and a more stylized, anonymous playing style resulting partly from recording most of the instruments at separate times rather than playing together as a band, and partly from many of the arrangements being created on a computer.

 Sky Full Of Holes
Fountains Of Wayne
$19.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

Fountains Of Wayne's long-awaited new album, Sky Full Of Holes, is their first for the NC-based indie label Yep Roc Records. This is the acclaimed band's first new release since 2007's Traffic And Weather.
Recorded in New York City, Sky Full Of Holes features 13 new songs by Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger, ranging from high-energy power pop to intimate, acoustic-driven ballads. Songs like "The Summer Place" and "Richie And Ruben" showcase the band's renowned storytelling abilities and flair for creating memorable characters; elsewhere, they take a more impressionistic approach, as in the shimmering "Someone's Gonna Break Your Heart" and the elegiac "Cemetery Guns" (a lyric from which provides the album's title). In signature FOW fashion, the album manages to be simultaneously witty and wistful, imaginative and personal.
Sky Full Of Holes is the band's fifth full-length release, not including 2005's two-disc B-side compilation Out-Of-State Plates. Produced by Collingwood and Schlesinger, it was mixed by longtime collaborator John Holbrook, who also worked on Welcome Interstate Managers and Traffic And Weather.

 Live 1969
Fever Tree
$18.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
This 1969 live recording from Mount Carmel High School in Houston represents the final stage appearance by the original lineup of Texas garage combo Fever Tree. With two strong studio LPs for UNI Records behind them, the group began to fragment from internal struggles. Consequently, the label asked for one more album. The group complied and the results are contained in this previously unreleased concert recording, presented here in 180 gram vinyl.
Sharpening their chops on the Gulf Coast circuit, followed by a high-profile opening night gig at Hollywoods legendary Kaleidoscope, Fever Tree developed a keen sense of musical drama and dynamics. This versatility is in sharp display on the concerts rendition of their underground radio hit San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native). For the rest, Live 1969 focuses on groovers, a perfect set-up for the gliding fuzztones of lead guitarist Michael Knust, the sonic organ of Rob Landes, the thick rhythms provided by E.E. Bud Wolfe III on bass and John Tuttle on drums ,and the dynamic, driving lead vocals of Dennis Keller.
Dont Come Crying to Me Girl, a song originally found on the bands second album, levitates the band beyond any earthly confines. Elsewhere, the set moves between a soaring cover of Donovans Hey Gyp, their own power pop Grand Candy Young Sweet and a whirlng psych take on Wilson Picketts Ninety-Nine and One Half (Wont Do). Playing as if their lives depended on it, Live 1969 captures a band at the height of its powers, forever preserved on this final audio testament.
Track Listing:
1. Grand Candy Young Sweet
2. Ninety-Nine and One Half (Wont Do)

When Dyan Hoffman, Rick Bolz, Ron Raschdorf and W.A. Farrens drove 350 miles through the mighty redwood groves down to San Francisco to cut their first album at Leo de Gar Kulka's Golden State Recorders, they couldn't have picked a better time. It was the summer of 1967, now known as the Summer Of Love, and San Francisco was inundated with young people from all over the world, spurred on by a blossoming rock scene that included Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Co. and the Grateful Dead. And yet, none of those legends in the making ever cut an album as hard to find these days, extremely rare and collectible, as this LP by the Neighb'rhood Childr'n.
Not only is their record hideously hard to find, it's amazingly groovy coming from four kids from a rural background. Dyan's voice has the earnest zeal of a young Grace Slick, and the complex arrangements run the table from acid-soaked tripsichord to fiery anthems meant to spur on a new generation of street-fighting men as well as lonely navigators of the mind. Not surprisingly, Dyan reveals that some of this amazing material was inspired by seeing Quicksilver Messenger Service for the first time. "They were always my favorite group," she says. It just goes to show what you can soak up and give back to the world if your heart is in the right place.

Oscar And The Majestics
$18.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

For anyone with an overindulged appetite for '60s garage compilations, Oscar & the Majestics must seem like old friends. In Sundazeds exhaustive dig through the prized USA & Destination Records catalogs, no other act and that includes hit makers like the Buckinghams and Cryin Shames, came close to the coverage afforded Oscar Hamod & the Majestics. If the group had left more than five tracks in the USA vaults, no doubt Sundazed would have included more.
Well, that was before Oscar opened up his vast personal archives, undisturbed for over 40 years, allowing for this first-ever collection of his complete 60s output. This includes the bands best known USA sides, like the impossibly cool, fuzzed-out Soul Finger, as well as ultra-rare, Oscar-pressed singles (including the first official reissue of House of the Rising Sun 1969; an over the top rearrangement that suffers no shortage of Oscar-fuzz/Oscar-attitude.
Most rewarding of all, this set unleashes the unreleased Baby Under My Skin and I Feel Good; both seriously Kinky krunchers from the USA era. As a bonus, Sundazed blows the lid off the untold history of Mr. Hamod and his rockin crew in a package also crammed with vintage photos and rare 45 label scans.

$29.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Includes CD
Though oft saddled with the 'alt-country' tag, of late, Jesse Sykes and Co. have moved into slightly heavier and darker territories. Marble Son, their self-produced fourth album, exemplifies a band at their creative pinnacle, heavier and more complex than previous records.
The music resonates among the parallel worlds of the avant-garde and the timeless. Sykes' voice and sometimes mystical leanings and her band's incomparable musical rapport, culminate in what the New York Times has described as "spellbound music, rapt in fatalism and sorrow."
Sykes' trademark thematic darkness and acclaimed songwriting have never been more present; yet Marble Son speaks of evolution, which she describes as "sonic mirror of the most chaotic, turbulent times of our lives, where beauty triumphed and the tears that spilled became this record."

Brothers Chris and Oliver Wood's divergent musical paths crossed in 2004, when at a family gathering the two decided to play and record their own material. While sibling collaborations are not out of the ordinary, the fact that Chris and Oliver pursued separate projects for some 15 years before joining forces makes for an unusual story.
Oliver Wood (guitar/vocals) moved to Atlanta, honed his instrumental and vocal chops and formed one of the Southeast's most popular rock/blues bands, King Johnson. His younger brother Chris Wood (bass/vocals/harmonica) moved to New York City, immersed himself in the city's jazz/improv scene and formed the internationally acclaimed, genre busting trio Medeski Martin & Wood.
2011 marks the release of The Wood Brothers third full-length studio album, Smoke Ring Halo, to be released by Zac Brown's Southern Ground Artists. It was produced by Jim Scott (Wilco, Tom Petty, Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and features backing vocals from Zac Brown and Clay Cook.

For Jimmie Vaughan, too much of a good thing is a concept that simply doesn't exist. The legendary Texan guitar dynamo was so pleased with the response to his 2010 album Blues, Ballads and Favorites that he decided to follow it up with a brand new collection he's calling, what else but More Blues, Ballads and Favorites! Packed with 16 covers of classic tunes that are close to his heart, the album, recorded, like the previous one, in his hometown of Austin, Texas, reunites Vaughan with the same cast of musicians that helped him out on the previous set. Also returning for round two, to assist with the vocals, is Lou Ann Barton, whose powerful pipes grace several tunes on the new release. Jimmie Vaughan, who first came to prominence as co-founder of Texas blues-rock band the Fabulous Thunderbirds in the '70s, has certainly earned the right to do whatever he wants whenever he wants to do it. Since he was a kid, Vaughan has dedicated his life to mastering his axe and reminding folks what American music is all about - music, he says, that need not be categorized.

With their new record 'Salvador', LO-PAN getting closer to the perfect album; it's a big step up from the band's previous release 'Sasquanaut' and that was already a great album. The songs on 'Salvador' are all significantly less sonorous and more direct than their work on 'Sasquanaut'. Jeff Martin's voice gives me goosebumps. He manages to infuse the music with a lot of emotion, stripped of kitsch and false pathos and ranging from anger to sadness. J. Bartz's percussion lines provide powerful punctuation to Brian Fristoe's amazing guitar riffs and Skot Thompson's flowing bass lines make sure that there's always the right punch.

A rallying cry against the post-modern dystopia in which we live, the nine-cut, 40-minute full-length is rife with crisp songwriting, clear presentation and an overall straightforward style that the four-piece is well suited to. As per the Small Stone norm, tracking and mixing was handled by Benny Grotto at Mad Oak Studios in Massachusetts, and as per his norm, theres no sacrifice of the bands formidable live energy in the name of getting a professional sound. Your World of Tomorrow is heavy rock for heavy rockers, and I know there are plenty out there who will find satisfaction in the aggression and payoff these songs have to offer.

 Shostakovich: Six Preludes And Fugues (Speakers Corner)
Dmitri Shostakovitch
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
As little as Shostakovich’s Preludes and Fugues conformed to Soviet musical dictates, these ambitious works were all the more highly regarded by the experts. What appeared as decadent and formalistic to Stalinist augurs is no less than an homage to Bach’s "Well-tempered Clavier" in the form of 24 miniatures, in the major and minor keys around the circle of fifths. Shostakovich dedicated his compositions to Tatiana Nikolayeva whom he got to know at the Leipzig Bach Festival in 1950. Little did he know that she would promote his musical gems right up until her very last breath, when she died on stage while performing his Opus 87 in 1993 in San Francisco.
Although Sviatoslav Richter never recorded the complete cycle of Preludes and Fugues, the present recording with his personal selection is one of the most distinguished interpretations of these works. Richter’s refined performance brings out the strict form found within the modern compositional style, allowing the biting sarcasm or ludicrous melodies to sparkle, and explores archaic rhythms. But Richter, the experienced romanticist, is also a master of Schumannesque expression in the form of languid melodiousness in the middle range of the keyboard. At long last this hard-to-find, yet easy to listen to, recording is available once more.
Musicians:
- Sviatoslav Richter (piano)
Recording: July 1963 in Paris
About Speakers Corner
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Speakers Corner all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.
During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existant tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasise that Speakers Corner Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle. We have one digital recording in our catalogue (Alan Parsons / Eye In The Sky“), but even in this particular case we used the analogue tapes for cutting.
We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.
To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects – excluding the exception above – and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.

 Beethoven: Symphony No. 7
Ludwig Van Beethoven
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

Tacets tube-only recording technique, renowned for their crystal clarity and spaciousness, score another triumph here. The indomitable rhythmic insistence in Beethovens Symphony No. 7 brought the work a considerable number of pictorial descriptions with the object of explaining the mysteries contained within the persistent repetition of the first movements motif. In addition to famous pertinent phrases such as »an apotheosis of the dance« (Richard Wagner) and »victory of the symphony over the supreme power of rhythm« (Walter Riezler), such allegorical quips ranging from »ancient wine festival« to »march against France« were bandied about. Equally as rich as the wealth of quotes about this unique symphony is the number of its interpretations, which range from an orgiastic dash to plodding, meek or pussyfooted versions. As can be expected from Wojciech Rajski, the former kapellmeister of Bonns Beethovenhalle Orchestra, his stalwart Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra delivers a lively, fresh and sinewy performance. In accordance with the modus operandi of the company Tacet, audiophile tube-only technology was used for this recording thus guaranteeing sound reproduction of the highest quality. It goes without saying that tonal aesthetes and lovers of great symphonies will rush to get their copy of this disc without delay.
This title is not eligible for discount.

Mastered by Joe Reagoso and Kevin Gray at RTI from the Original RCA/Grunt Records Tapes
When Jefferson Airplane morphed successfully into Jefferson Starship in the mid-'70s, their musicianship, and recorded output was enthusiastically received and was a very important career move in the continuing story of these Bay Area superstars.
Red Octopus surely helped award them fame even further as this amazing Jefferson Starship LP went to #1 and soon became one of the many platinum plus ventures for this much loved and respected band. Their new formula worked tremendously as this watershed release featured a plethora of chart topping hits like "Miracles," "Play On Love," "Fast Buck Freddie" and "There Will Be Love."
The band was rich with rock and roll history, consisting of Airplane mainstays Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Marty Balin, plus later Airplane alumnus David Freiberg (Quicksilver), Papa John Creach, and Johnny Barbata (CSN+Y, Turtles), as well as new additions Craig Chaquico and Pete Sears.

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed

'Essential' can mean many things; it can mean absolutely necessary, indispensible, completely realized.
But in the case of Dr. John's Essential Recordings we are talking about a different matter altogether.
On this album, which comprises mostly of recordings made in the '60, you will find the fundamentals of what Dr. John was going to become; a blues-eccentric who combined New Orleans R&B with psychedelic rock and a formidable boogie & blues pianist with a lovable growl of a voice.
It will show you the beginnings of an extraordinary artist.

 Beyond And Before: The BBC Recordings 1969-1970 (On Sale)
Yes
$36.99 $27.74
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Archetypal prog-rockers Yes formed in London in the late 1960s and gained vast popularity in the 1970s.
Throughout the 1970s Yes produced a stream of gold and platinum-selling albums, with 'Fragile' and 'Close to the Edge' considered fan favorites.
Credit for their long-standing relevance lies with the distinctive vocals and lyrics of frontman Jon Anderson and the musicianship of the band's many members who have come and gone over the life of the group.
The recordings on this double LP set consist of live BBC and other radio-related tracks and all date from 1969-1970.
The fact that the BBC sessions never permitted retakes, and were never intended for commercial release, gave them a raw, spontaneous quality that makes them very different from the studio equivalents.
The insert contains liner notes by Peter Banks, the band's co-founder and lead guitarist during this era, that reveal a lot about what the band was like during this era.

 The Art Of The Violin
Petteri Iivonen
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Grammy Award winning Yarlung Records brings fresh musicians to the classical music world using minimalist audiophile recording techniques to deliver sound as close to a live performance as possible. Rather than using recording studios, engineer Bob Attiyeh produces these albums in concert halls famous for their acoustics, including Walt Disney Concert Hall and Ambassador Hall in Los Angeles. Yarlung uses analog tape for 180g vinyl LPs mastered by Steve Hoffman.
Yarlung repertoire ranges from the 11th century through the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras, with a special focus on new music from the 20th and 21st centuries. Artists include top soloists as well as superstar young musicians at the beginnings of their international concert careers.
Petteris affable personality galvanized as much support for this debut recording as did his exceptional talent with the violin. Listen to the colors Petteri employs in the first movement of the Debussy sonata, especially in the flautando sections. Or the extreme tenderness of the second movement of Ysa˙es Sonata No. 2. And then compare that with the icy brilliance of the same sonatas fourth movement after the one-minute mark. Note too the yearning of an entire nation, perhaps the entire Twentieth Century, in the arrival of the Eli Eli theme in tracks twelve and thirteen. (Yarlung Artists commissioned David Lefkowitz to write Eli Eli for Petteri, in honor of Hagai Shaham.) And then evaluate this music in comparison with the titanic Bach Partita, and enjoy the world of color and emotion that Petteri delivers in this final work on his recording. - Bob Attiyeh/producer

180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

These recordings of the Quicksilver Messenger Service Live at the Avalon in September and October of 1966 are the earliest existing recordings of one of the original architects of acid rock. Here QMS is a five-piece featuring original vocalist Jim Murray, who quit the band shortly before their long-awaited debut was recorded for Capitol in 1968.
Highlights include "Pride Of Man" (which would eventually find its way onto their debut album), "Mona" (which would show up again on their classic LP Happy Trails), and (in keeping with their reputation for being a great jam band) a 20-minute version of Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man." Recorded live at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco on September 9 and October 28, 1966. 180 gram vinyl.

Recorded in April of 1970, just a few months before the release of Third (soon destined to become their most successful album), this memorable performance marks a significant turning point in the band's history, when Soft Machine had begun exploring in earnest a type of music that would soon become simply known as "fusion."

 Mondo Amore
Nicole Atkins
$29.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Mondo Amore is the sophomore release from American singer/songwriter Nicole Atkins. Her sound is known for its mix of traditional vocal styles and introspective lyrics and has been compared to Roy Orbison and singers from the Brill Building era. The album has its genesis in a time of extreme turbulence for Atkins, a period which saw her parting ways with her former major label, while also dealing with the painful termination of a long-term personal relationship. Additionally, her former backing band abandoned the project a week after they started recording the new album.
Atkins dealt with these changes by creating a more volatile sound than she had ever previously attempted, a sonic approach akin to such influences as Scott Walker and Nick Cave, while also touching on longtime inspirations like the blues and classic '60s psychedelic rock. Features a special guest appearance from My Morning Jacket's Jim James on the song "War Is Hell."
Track Listing:
Side 1
1. Vultures
2. Cry Cry Cry
3. Hotel Plaster
4. You Come To Me

Includes MP3 Coupon
From 1993 to 1997, as Braid carved out its musical niche, the pages of the bands history were filled with endless lists of shows played, 7s recorded, and followers gained. Then, a year after the release of 1998s Frame and Canvas, a genre-defining album that continues to serve as an influence for countless musicians to this day, Braid disbanded at the height of its popularity.
Since that time, fans have been treated to two posthumous compilations (Movie Music Vols. 1 & 2), a short reunion tour in 2004, and the 2010 vinyl reissues of the long out of-print Frankie Welfare Boy Age 5, The Age of Octeen and both Movie Music records.
But, even while Braid kept its name on the tip of peoples tongues, the prospect of hearing brand new music from the band remained elusive, until now. It took only a few practices to write three new tracks and arrange a cover (of Jeff Hansons You Are the Reason), all of which the band then recorded with engineer J. Robbins (Jawbreaker, The Promise Ring, Jets to Brazil, Frame and Canvas).

1. The Right Time

Includes 16 Page Booklet
Limited Edition Remastered 180g Vinyl Culled from Reel to Reel Tapes & BBC Transcription Discs
Featuring Previously Unreleased BBC Archive Material from Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple and the Yardbirds Among Others!
Sourced from proficiently recorded reel to reel tapes and BBC transcription discs, Radio Tymes presents very rare and desirable recordings from some of the '60s major players, and indeed some groups who would find wider acclaim during the following decade.
A band still going strong today, Radio Tymes rewinds back to the early days of Deep Purple with the discovery of their first live performance ever broadcast on British radio in mid-1968, as well as an incendiary number from the last session by the original line-up. Superb recordings from The Yardbirds' final BBC session in 1968, including the legendary "Dazed And Confused," finally appear in excellent quality, and unbelievably a document of Jimi Hendrix singing live on Simon Dees Dee Time TV program has surfaced which has not been heard anywhere since 1967.
Two great tunes by The Move from the first ever Top Gear provide ample proof as to why they are regarded as one of the most revered groups of the era, and from the very same program psychedelic heroes Tomorrow with Keith West play their underground anthem "My White Bicycle." The live version of "Sabre Dance" that initiated Love Sculpture's top ten single accompanies two other fantastic covers from their colorful repertoire, and Barclay James Harvest add more fuel to the fire with the quite perfect and upbeat "Night."
Radio Tymes is a legitimate collection licensed from the BBC and the relevant record companies, and as per usual the LP comes with a 16 page booklet. All the music has been professionally restored, with the Deep Purple tunes having been worked on at Abbey Road Studios no less, and the results of restoring music from old reel to reel tapes in particular is startling to say the least.
Track Listing:
1. The Painter - Deep Purple (transmitted on BBC radio show Chris Grants Tasty Pop Sundae on 6th July 1969)
2. Think About It - Yardbirds (transmitted on BBC radio show Top Gear on 10th March 1968

Before he was appointed music director for life of the Berlin Philharmonic, Karajan was closely associated with the Philharmonia in its early years, although he never held an official title with the orchestra. The founder of the Philharmonia and legendary EMI Producer, Walter Legge, was against appointing an official principal conductor but it was Karajan who built the orchestra into one of the finest ensembles in the world, and made numerous recordings for EMI, including all the Beethoven symphonies and stereo gems like this Sibelius recording.
Recorded on 20, 21 & 23 September 1960 (Symphony No.5) and 5 & 6 January 1959 (Finlandia) at Londons famous Kingsway Hall venue. Produced by Walter Legge and Engineered by Douglas Larter (Harold Davidson Finlandia).

180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Cut from the Original Analogue EMI Master Tapes at Abbey Road Studios!
This famous LP was recorded at the Kingsway Hall, London on May 10-11, 1962,
except for the Tallis Fantasia which was recorded in the sonorous acoustic of the medieval Temple Church in the City of London a week later. The latter venue was suggested by the American composer and conductor Bernard Herrmann, a friend and admirer of Barbirolli since Sir Johns years in New York.
From Herrmann's website:
Herrmann insisted that it must be done in a stone building not a studio. So Herrmann suggested the Temple Church. The recording session was started at midnight to avoid traffic noise. According to Ursula Vaughan Williams (the composers widow): "Coats and bags and thermos flasks were piled round the effigies of Crusader Knights. Bernard was there, listening to the balance, listening to the music, and the resulting record is by far the best ever made of the work."
Produced by the legendary Victor Olof and engineered by Harold Davidson and Neville Boyling (Tallis).
The album features the original album artwork and is pressed on 180g vinyl to audiophile standards.
Track Listing:
Side One:
Edward William Elgar (1857-1934)
1. Introduction and Allegro for strings, Op. 47
2. Serenade in e minor, Op. 20

The Clash begat Big Audio Dynamite.
Big Audio Dynamite begat Dreadzone and so it began with Greg Dread and Leo Williams (B.A.D.'s rhythm section) along with Tim Bran forming the band in 1992.
They were baptised as 'Dreadzone;' the cultural gatekeepers of the bass line.
Respecting the past and embracing the future these brothers were dealing with the right now, creating the perfect blend somewhere between the technological and the organic.
It's a sound that leaves room for the listener to put themselves in the mix and dance like nobody's watching
The Roberts/Letts & Williams compositions continued the themes and parameters laid down by B.A.D.; a cinematic break beat dub regggae soundtrack that moves the head and the feet.
Basically if you're standing still at the end of this 180 grams double audiophile vinyl, you're dead!

New Orleans native Allen Toussaint is one of the citys greatest living pianists and after over five decades on the citys music scene, he is still going strong! Born in 1938, he got his start playing at one of New Orleans many night clubs and was soon signed to RCA where, on January 29, 1958 he took to the studio to record this album with a line-up of local musicians that included two saxophones, guitar, bass and drums (although the names of these musicians is a subject of some debate). In 1963, a remake of the song Java from this album became a huge hit for trumpet player Al Hirt. In fact, in the decades that followed, many of Toussaints songs (Working In A Coalminek, Ride Your Pony, Fortune Tellerk, Mother-In-Law etc.) have become R&B standards and Toussaint himself a living legend of New Orleans R&B.

 Chet Baker & Strings (Pure Pleasure)
Chet Baker
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
This release offers a unique glimpse of a young Chet Baker in a quintet setting, complemented by a nine-piece string section. Utilizing the uniquely modern arrangements of Johnny Mandel, Marty Paich, Jack Montrose, and Shorty Rogers, this interaction of 'West Coast cool' with primordial elevator music escapes many - if not indeed all - of the potential sonic pitfalls such a marriage might suggest. In the truest sense of the word augmentation, the string arrangements provide the desired opulence sans the heavy-handed or syrupy residual effects. Perhaps most inspiring about this outing is the success with which Baker and crew are able to thrive in this environment, providing subtle insight into the quintet's ability to simultaneously adapt and explore. "Love Walked In" incorporates a trademark volley of interaction between Baker and Sims. "Love" contains what is arguably the most successful implementation of the string section, as well as some stellar soloing by Freeman. In fact, his contributions to this particular recording rank among his finest with Baker and company. The same enthusiasm can likewise be applied to "A Little Duet for Zoot and Chet". Not only are Sims and Baker in top flight, but the string arrangement swings irresistibly as well. The easygoing and otherwise winding strings support the cool bop like a kite in a March breeze - light, airy, and conspicuous only in altitude.
Tracks A 7 & 8 and B 7 are bonus tracks not on original release.
Musicians:
- Chet Baker (trumpet)
- Zoot Sims (tenor saxophone)
- Jack Montrose (tenor saxophone)
- Bud Shank (alto saxophone)
- Russ Freeman (piano)
- Joe Mondragon (bass)
- Shelly Manne (drums)
Recording: December 1953
Production: Richard Bock
About Pure Pleasure
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Pure Pleasure all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.
During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existent tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasize that Pure Pleasure Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle.
We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.
To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.

Originally released in 1978 on Sire Records, DMZ's first and only LP never really fit into the punk/new-wave mold that was forced upon it. These 5 shaggy haired dudes from Boston were more interested in the Sonics than the Sex Pistols and their goal, as stated by frontman Jeff "Mono Man" Conolly was "fusing the sound of the Chocolate Watchband and The Stooges."
Produced by Flo & Eddie, of The Turtles' fame, this album was much maligned at the time but has come to be accepted as a classic record that helped jump start the ongoing garage-rock revival that began in the '80s. Reissued on 180 gram vinyl and available in the LP format for the first time since its initial release.

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score, Elmer Bernsteins original soundtrack to Otto Premingers 1955 film, The Man With The Golden Arm, starring Frank Sinatra, Eleanor Parker and Kim Novak, became the first all-jazz soundtrack to be used in a major Hollywood movie. Bernsteins music was the perfect emotional match for Premingers heroin-addict/jazz drummer anti-hero (played by Sinatra), and is considered one of the best scores of the era. It is also credited with effectively changing the sound of American cinema by opening the floodgates for jazz music in film and on television. Bernstein himself would go on to score over 200 films, including The Ten Commandments and To Kill A Mockingbird.

U2's Most Lavish Uber Deluxe Edition Box Set Marks the 20th Anniversary of Their Seminal Album Achtung Baby!
Includes 180 gram Vinyl, 5 - 7" Vinyl Discs, 6 CDs & 4 DVDs and More Housed in Magnetic Puzzle Tiled Box!
U2 release their most lavish Uber Deluxe Edition to date to mark the 20th anniversary of their seminal album Achtung Baby.
Achtung Baby was the 7th studio album by the iconic European rock group. After taking a hit by critics of their 1988 Rattle and Hum release, U2 shifted their musical direction to incorporate alternative rock, industrial, and electronic dance music influences into their sound. The group began recording Achtung Baby in Berlin's Hansa Studios in October of 1990 during the German reunification. The sessions were plagued with conflict while the band argued over the direction and quality of material. Finally, the group made a breakthrough with the improvised writing of the song "One". Morale improved when they returned to Dublin in 1991 and completed most of the recordings.
Achtung Baby is one of U2's most successful records earning favorable reviews and debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 Top Albums and topping charts in other countries as well. The album produced five hit singles including "One, "Mysterious Ways", and "The Fly". The album was awarded a Grammy in 1993 for Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocal. One of the most acclaimed records of the '90s, Achtung Baby is regularly featured on lists of the greatest albums of all time.
The Uber Deluxe Edition includes previously unreleased material, live and documentary video footage, remixes, b-sides and even an album full of demo and early versions of the final 1991 track listing.

 Nevermind: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition
Nirvana
$79.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 4 LPs Sealed
|
Ranked 17/500 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Released in September of 1991, Nirvana's sophomore album and major label debut elevated Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl from a critically acclaimed Aberdeen, Washington, cult band to generational spokesmen who'd unwittingly created a cultural shift and musical touchstone. Rising to #1 the world over by year's end and ultimately selling over 30 million copies worldwide, Nevermind would come to be much more than one of the most successful and influential albums of its or any era. As the album that returned unaffected rock n roll integrity and passion to the top of the charts, Nevermind would prove a singular inspiration to fans and musicians alike over the last two decades, and will undoubtedly do so for generations to come.
Now, on the occasion of Nevermind's 20th Anniversary, Universal Music presents a full spectrum re-release worthy of such a pivotal classic. The reissue makes the most of the occasion, unearthing literally dozens of previously unreleased recordings, obscure B-sides, alternate mixes, radio sessions and studio rarities.
This 4LP 180-gram heavyweight vinyl Deluxe Edition of Nirvanas Nevermind 20th Anniversary reissue features the remastered album, B-sides, the Smart Studio sessions, Boombox Rehearsals and BBC sessions. Included is not only the original remastered album and accompanying studio and live B-sides, but the first full official release of the pre-Nevermind demos recorded at producer Butch Vig's Smart Studios, as well as boombox recordings of subsequent rehearsals through which the listener can actually experience "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Come As You Are," "On A Plain" and others that take shape before your very ears.

 Satan Is Real (Import)
The Louvin Brothers
$29.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Taking their cue from the family singing groups of the 1930s, brothers Ira and Charlie Louvin updated this sound in the late '40s and '50s to become one the greatest duos in the history of country music. Performing with the Grand Old Opry beginning in 1955 (where they stayed until 1963), this period marked the high point of their career. During this period they recorded numerous sides, and this 1958 album of pure gospel is one of their best, and also best-known due largely to the albums over the top artwork and title. But although the albums artwork is playful (in fact, the Brothers almost burned themselves setting it up), the message is heartfelt and you dont have to be a believer to appreciate the quality of the music contained within.
Track Listing:
1. Satan Is Real
2. There's A Higher Power
3. The Christian Life
4. The River Of Jordan
5. The Kneeling Drunkard's Plea

 Second Winter
Johnny Winter
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
In 1969, with several albums already under his belt in a short time like The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter headed down south to Nashville and recorded what many believe to be one of his finest albums to date, Second Winter. The album features the original line up of Johnny Winter (vocals/guitars) Edgar Winter (keys and saxophone), Tommy Shannon (bass) and Uncle John Turner (drums). This power quartet laid down some of the finest rock and roll and blues performances ever caught in a studio setting, as well as forever etching the name superstar to Johnny Winters career.
Always an avid audiophile and record collector himself, during the original recording sessions, Johnny believed that all the tracks would sound better if spread out over an extra side, instead of the traditional two sided LP, therefore creating the infamous and probably first three sided rock album in history! He summed it up perfectly We also really liked everything wed done and didnt want to leave any of the songs out. We couldnt honesty give you more, and we didnt want to give you less, so here is exactly what we did in Nashville, no more and no less.
Its no secret that Friday Music has been championing this acclaimed world class artist for years now with his own authorized and top blues charting Live Bootleg Series projects, as well as classic vinyl re-releases from the Columbia and Capitol Records vaults. It is now with great pleasure they announe the continuing Johnny Winter 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Series with his phenomenal earth shaking Second Winter album. Mastered from the original Columbia Records tapes by Joe Reagoso and Kevin Gray at RTI, this incredible limited edition album comes full circle now in its first time audiophile vinyl domain release.
All his greatest hits are here like "Johnny B. Goode," "Miss Ann," "Fast Life Rider" and of course his classic interpretation of Bob Dylans scorching "Highway 61 Revisited." A visionary always with each and every one of his releases, Johnny Winter put his all into this album which showed an appreciation to his rock and roll heroes like Chuck Berry and Little Richard, his contemporaries like Bob Dylan, while also being a cultural icon in the psychedelic era solely with his Texan slide and unparalleled blues playing, an unforgettable rock voice, and a fan base that just keeps growing every day.
Fellow legend and brother Edgar Winter and the rest of the band truly excel throughout this entire album as well, on tunes sweltering blues workouts like "Memory Pain," "I Hate Everybody" and the incredible jam "Hustled Down In Texas."
Friday Music has also included the long out of print original gatefold album cover designed by Tony Lane, as well as the fine photography of Richard Avedon.

$49.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl 45 RPM LP - 2 LPs Sealed

One listen to Elvin Jones' Genesis will leave many listeners asking How did I miss this record? In 1971, the great years of Blue Note were in the past but the label was still recording superb sessions. The difference was that it often took years for the best recordings to be released and they were being overshadowed by more commercial sets from the label. Genesis fell through the cracks initially, making it one of the most exciting passed-over records from the late Blue Note period. Dave Liebman, Frank Foster and Joe Farrell, three brilliant and competitive saxophonists, battle it out on these performances with Elvin Jones setting a fire under every solo. Jones makes sure that not only is the fuse never put out but that the music is absolutely explosive. Do not miss this remarkable recording the second time around!
Features:
- Remastered from the Original Rudy Van Gelder Blue Note Master Tapes!
- Remastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech

 Europe '72
Grateful Dead
$59.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 3 LPs Sealed
|
Nearly 40 years ago, the Grateful Dead released Europe '72, a triple live album documenting its historic trek across Europe that became not only one of the band's best-selling releases, but also set the gold standard for live Dead.
The Grateful Deads first tour outside of North America took them to all sorts of historic and unusual venues in England, Denmark, West Germany, France, Holland and even Luxembourg. Many members of the Dead family came along on what was really an extended working vacation that was designed to both expose the Dead to new audiences and also reward the band for their unlikely conquest of America during the preceding two years. As a hedge against the costs of the nearly two-month trip, the Deads label, Warner Bros., paid for the band to lug around a 16-track recorder to capture the entire tour.
This was a band at the top of its game, still ascending in the wake of three straight hit albums: Workingmans Dead, American Beauty and the live Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses). It had been a year since the lineup had gone to its single-drummer configuration, six months since Keith Godchaux had been broken in as the groups exceptional pianist, and this marked the first tour to feature Donna Godchaux as a member of the touring band. This would also be Pigpen's final tour with the band.
There was a ton of new, unreleased material that came into the repertoire in the fall of 71 (after Skull & Roses was out) and during the spring of 72, including Tennessee Jed, Jack Straw, Hes Gone, Ramble on Rose, One More Saturday Night and Mr. Charlie. All those future classics were interspersed with songs from the aforementioned hit albums such as Cumberland Blues and Sugar Magnolia, as well as spectacular versions of Truckin and I Know You Rider.
Track Listing:

1. Cumberland Blues (Live in England 1972 Version)

Neil Young
$29.99
180 Gram Audiophile Classic Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed

In hindsight, Neil Young now admits that Live At Massey Hall should have come out between After the Gold Rush and Harvest. The legendary 1971 concert features a solo Young with just a guitar, a piano and a mic debuting what were mostly new songs at the time. I'm gonna sing mostly new songs tonight, Neil Young tells the rapt Massey Hall audience, I've written so many new ones that I can't think of anything else to do with them other than sing 'em. The sound quality is impeccable and the setting lends a profound intimacy to Young's voice and musicianship, making this an overall remarkable recording and a mystery that it wasn't released sooner. The acclaimed Toronto performance features brilliant takes on some of Young's most enduring classics including; Old Man, Cowgirl In The Sand, Ohio and a suite of A Man Needs A Maid and Heart Of Gold before they were recorded for Harvest. Live At Massey Hall is a newly mined rock gem here on Classic Records' stunning 180g Quiex Super Vinyl Profile!

 Boces
Mercury Rev
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
From very early on it became clear that Mercury Rev were a different kind of music group.
They created songs the size of canyons with a capacity for chaos that is unparalleled.
Their druggy, epic, sprawling avant-garde noise pop hit the underground in the early nineties and got them kicked off the stage at Lollapalooza while promoting their sophomore album Boces.
With members of The Flaming Lips and influenced by Sonic Youth and The Velvet Underground, Mercury Rev's neo-psychedelic dreampop on Boces comes out best on songs like opener 'Meth Of A Rockette's Kick', while their approach to teeny-bop ends up in a drug infused meth den on 'Something For Joey.'
Internal conflicts and personal disputes led to the departure of vocalist and lead man David Baker shortly after this album, which meant that Mercury Rev became more focused & started orchestrating with strings instead of guitars & fuzz.
This album is a must-have for all who want to explore the origins of one of the most innovative bands in the indie-genre!
Track Listing:
LP 1
1. Meth Of A Rockette's Kick
2. Trickle Down
3. Bronx Cheer

 Keep Away The Dead
Siskiyou
$25.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Even as Siskiyou's first record was delivered to Constellation in early 2010 and getting prepped for release that fall, Colin Huebert remained holed up in Mara, BC (pop. 350) through the winter, writing more songs and eventually being joined by his Siskiyou co-conspirator Erik Arnesen for a few weeks of intensive recording. Unlike the material on their eponymous debut, which was largely recorded in nomadic fashion while Colin and Erik toured as members of Great Lake Swimmers, the Mara, BC sessions found the pair settled, rooted and with keys in hand to the century-old Mara Community Hall.
Most of the tunes on Keep Away The Dead were born at Mara Hall, where bed tracks were laid down in the crisp air during depth of winter. The arctic atmosphere of that empty, cavernous, hardwood structure was the perfect complement to Huebert's sensibility: a tense and acute restraint; a shivering, biting, sometimes bitter rending of barebones, folk-inflected rock music. (Neil Young remains a clear touchstone, overtly so with the album's cover of "Revolution Blues" as do the pointed, starkly controlled arrangements and textures of contemporaries like Angels Of Light.)
Huebert left Mara in spring 2010 and moved to Vancouver, where Siskiyou began to take shape as a full band with the addition of Shaunn Watt and Peter Carruthers. Coming off a season of extensive touring in Euope and Canada in fall 2010, Siskiyou had coalesced into an incisive quartet and hit Vancouver's JC/DC Studio in early 2011 with engineer David Carswell (Destroyer, New Pornographers), adding to the previous year's Mara sessions and cutting two more tunes for which Carswell ran the mix: "Twigs And Stones" and "Revolution Blues. Huebert recorded and mixed the remainder of Keep Away The Dead (as he did on the previous record).
Where Siskiyou's debut was a stunning little scrapbook of short, sharp tunes, Keep Away The Dead ramps things up with subtle care and clarity, yielding something closer to a rural gothic novella in spirit and scope. The album is a strikingly cold-eyed, tender-hearted song cycle, marked by quiet defiance and desperation. Huebert's acoustic guitar and gently acetic voice, Arnesen's gorgeous banjo and treated guitar lines, and the judicious rhythm section of Watt and Carruthers deliver a superbly compelling album on the knife's edge of darkness, where each tune feels like another precious log thrown on a lone campfire burning in the cold night.

 Complete Box Set
The Smiths
$249.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 8 LPs Sealed
|
It took more than a decade of fans demanding it be done. And given the contentious nature of the ex-members, no one was ever certain that the wishes would come true. But it has.
After many years of waiting, Rhino Records UK presents Complete, eight albums by The Smiths lovingly reworked by Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr and Rhino UK and packaged together for the first time. Each album has been remastered from the original tape sources by engineer Frank Arkwright, with assistance from Marr, at London's world-famous Metropolis Studios.
The result? The hands-down best-sounding, most-definitive pressings of the Smiths music that the world has ever seen. Every one of the uber-influential group's studio songs, B-sides and all, in one place, forever preserved on a format and in a set worthy of their magnitude.
Complete includes all four of the band's studio albums: The Smiths (1984), Meat Is Murder (1985), The Queen Is Dead (1986), Strangeways, Here We Come (1987) and its sole live album Rank (1988) as well as firm fan favorite compilations Hatful Of Hollow (1984), The World Wont Listen (1987), and Louder Than Bombs (1987).
Of these albums, five are single-LPs while three are double-LP sets. Fans will recognize all of the original artwork and some of the contents, as a 12" booklet featuring new liner notes helps round out the package. But no one will believe the tremendous improvement in sound. Do not wait on your copy: They are limited to 10,000 worldwide, and given the Smiths' following, they will not last.

 Folk Art (Pure Pleasure)
Joe Lovano Us Five
$44.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Jazz is essentially an African-American folk art, elements not lost on Joe Lovano as he presents this all-original program of progressive music. His updated quintet Us Five is one of his freshest units in some time, with bassist Esperanza Spalding, the criminally underrated pianist James Weidman, and two stir-the-pot drummers in Francisco Mela and Otis Brown III. Together they fulfill Lovano's vision as a band that is not afraid to take many chances, stay within a bop-based tradition, and cut loose on many levels in terms of adding diverse elements to this mix of music. Lovano is noticeably restless, using his reliable tenor sax, but also straight alto, clarinet, and taragato. The drummers not only play their standard kits, but ethnic percussion instruments from many continents, while Spalding is maturing and growing exponentially into a formidable voice on her instrument. Weidman is simply brilliant throughout, largely ignored since his early days with Abbey Lincoln until now, but there's no reason he should be so underestimated or slighted.
Musicians:
- Joe Lovano (saxophone)
- James Weidman (piano)
- Esperanza Spaulding (bass)
- Otis III, Francisco Mela (drums)
About Pure Pleasure
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Pure Pleasure all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.
During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existent tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasize that Pure Pleasure Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle.
We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.
To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.

 Made in Europe (On Sale)
Deep Purple
$24.99 $18.74
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP
|
The 1970s were truly a successful era for hard rock legends Deep Purple. This Mark III band superstar act now featured the much revered line up of the original guitar hero Ritchie Blackmore, keyboard great Jon Lord, power drummer Ian Paice, and new cohorts the superlative Glenn Hughes on bass and superstar vocalist David Coverdale.
In support of their then huge current albums Burn and STORMBRINGER, Deep Purple took to the road for many sell out shows of the next several years and recorded what would become the final album of their long platinum plus run with Warner Bros. Records, the amazing MADE IN EUROPE.
Filled with blazing guitar licks from Ritchie Blackmore, searing vocals from David Coverdale and an arena powered rhythm section courtesy of Deep Purple, the band opens the LP with the hugely popular Burn. The fire continues to excel with their legendary blues cruncher Mistreated, featuring some highly touted guitar licks by Ritchie Blackmore as well.
Never fear more hard rock is here as side two blows your speakers apart with the extended power rocker You Fool No One from 1973s Burn. Jon Lord gets a special showcase in the beginning intro of the tune, as the band jumps in on the familiar chord progression, making this a major highlight listen of this wonderful live album. The apocalyptic warning of Stormbringer closes out the album and is possibly one of the most rockin versions ever of this time honored classic.
Friday Music is very honored to offer another fine Deep Purple classic recording with the exclusive 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl release of Made In Europe. Impeccably mastered by Deep Purple connoisseur Joe Reagoso from the original Warner Bros. tapes at Capitol Records in Hollywood, this amazing limited edition live document shows the legendary Mark III band at the their finest playing their most notable tunes from their much acclaimed works.
This masterpiece comes with the original album cover graphics designed by Phil Duffy as well as photos by Fin Costello, plus a poly lined sleeve to protect your vinyl and a poly bag to keep your LP cover in great condition for years to come!
Deep Purple...Made In Europe... A sonic hard rock audiophile dream is now reality... courtesy of Friday Music!

 Check Your Head
Beastie Boys
$25.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Some albums define an era, a place, a certain time in one's life. The Beastie Boys Check Your Head practically defined the summer of 1992 for those who were wary of the mainstreaming of rap and the insurgency of grunge. It was here that MCA, Adrock and Mike D. created a musical montage that defied genre, one with the swagger of punk and the rootsy earthiness of early-'70s soul-jazz, all layered with a hip-hop consciousness. Lo-fi, garagy, guitar-riff-loaded tracks like Pass Da Mic and Gratitude made it clear that the Beasties could be taken as serious musical forces, even innovators. Yet they still brilliantly tempered the proceedings with romps like Professor Booty and Funky Boss. One of the best albums of the '90's, Check Your Head was a turning point for the band and the genesis of a new musical hybrid. Reissued here on Limited Edition Double 180g Vinyl.

Ronen Givony is a New York City music curator and writer and the following is excerpted from a text he wrote to accompany the release of Impossible Spaces: After four years of writing, recording, and self-production, Impossible Spaces has delivered on the promise so abundantly present in Sandro Perri's earlier work; and with it, a synthesis of the experimental, electronic and singer-songwriter modes that have marked his evolution as an artist. On first listen, Impossible Spaces seems to position itself self-consciously as a collection of music about other music.

 The Well
Jennifer Warnes
$89.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl 45 RPM LP - 3 LPs Sealed
|
Personally supervised by Jennifer Warnes, this Numbered, Limited Edition 45rpm 180g Vinyl 3LP Box Set is housed in a custom wood box with updated art and individually numbered plaques. Included along with the three LPs is a 12-page large format booklet with notes, complete lyrics and new insights from the artist. Also included is a special pearlescent stock insert with illuminating article by Brad Buccholz. Musically, the collection includes the original album plus three exclusive bonus tracks: "La Luna Brilla", "Fool For the Look (In Your Eyes)" and Jennifer's superb rendition of Bob Dylan's "Born In Time". All-tube mastering has been utilized by Bernie Grundman specifically for this 45-rpm release.
Renew... rebirth... revive: A well means more in analogy than it does as a bearer of water. It can symbolize a complete transformation or a brief transition - the rejuvenation of a spirit in passing.
A trip to beautiful Jacob's Well outside of Austin, Texas with friend Doyle Bramhall proved an inspiration too rich to ignore. From this almost chance encounter comes The Well, a lovely collection of deeply-felt songs about renewing, rebirthing and reviving.
Songs on The Well feature stories about life-defining passages "Prairie Melancholy," rebirth "The Well," conquering fear "The Panther," Thankfulness "The Nightingale," a relationship at the cross-roads "And So It Goes," appreciation "Patriot's Dream" and discoveries "You Don't Know Me." Jennifer Warnes has chosen pieces that hint their deeper meanings. There are no soap-boxes with which to preach The Well.
Produced by Jennifer Warnes and composer/producer Martin Davich (ER), this largely acoustic album freely explores folk, pop, roots, blues and jazz. The singer has collected stellar musical talent to flesh out her vision, including; Arlo Guthrie, Doyle Bramhall (along with his son Doyle II), Rick Cunha, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dean Parks, Blondie Chaplin, George Doering, Leland Sklar, Abraham Laboriel, Lenny Castro, Van Dyke Parks and many others. On the technical side, the brilliant sound of The Well was crafted by Mark Johnson, Frank Wolf, George Massenburg, Elliot Scheiner, John Cevetello, Paul Deiter and Mark Cross.

The New York Times, in its review of the Columbia Records release of the complete Blackhawk shows, called the music "the gold standard for straight-ahead, postwar jazz rhythm".

Dusty Springfield
$49.99
200 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl 45RPM LP - 2 LPs Sealed

Ranked 89/500 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Britain's greatest pop diva Dusty Springfield was the finest white soul singer of her era and this landmark Atlantic Records album from 1969 is a masterpiece, a perfect marriage of pop and soul...contains her top 10 hit "Son Of A Preacher Man" plus several other hit singles and classic tracks...
Originally released in 1969, the concept for Dusty In Memphis was to take England's reigning female soul queen to the home of the music which had inspired her. Produced by Atlantic's Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin and engineered by Tom Dowd, the record's highlights include "Son Of A Preacher Man," "So Much Love," "Breakfast In Bed," "Just One Smile," "I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore" and "Just A Little Lovin'". Springfield is backed by a crack band that had previously worked with Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, King Curtis and Elvis Presley among others. The musicians - collectively known as the Memphis Cats - include guitarist Reggie Young, bassist Tommy Cogbill, drummer Gene Chrismann, pianist Bobby Wood and Bobby Emmons on organ and electric piano. Songwriting contributions came from, among others, Randy Newman, Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Dusty Springfield is one of the finest white soul singers of her era, and this is the undisputed proof.

But dont let this scare you, Eternally Yours, is still snotty, hyperactive punk rock of the highest order, and The Saints last great album.

Captain Beefheart's 1982 release "Ice Cream For Crow" was his final recording before retiring from the music business forever to devote himself to full time painting.

A more streamlined new Magic Band is back for this recording and masterfully help send the Captain off in style. Featuring hit songs (in an alternate universe!) such as The Host The Ghost The Most Holy-O, Hey Garland I Dig Your Tweed Coat and 81 Poop Hatch.

Captain Beefheart's 1980 release "Doc At The Radar Station" (and second to last ever before retiring) is considered by many fans to be one of his best albums and a strong comeback after Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller). Featuring the sizzling hot new Magic Band providing superb backing for the Captain's songs and poetic flights of the imagination this goes way beyond the "new wave" so dominant at the time it was made. Who else could make a record that is influenced as much by the blues, rock, free jazz and poetry with a singular, it could only be one person in the world vision? With songs like Ashtray Heart, A Carrot Is As Close As A Rabbit Gets To A Diamond and Making Love To A Vampire With A Monkey On My Knee there is little doubt as to who made this record.

Socrates said that a life unexamined was not worth living, but sometimes life is going so well that you could forgive one for just going with the flow. But life will catch up with you in time as it did for Rich Robinson. Before he was 25, he had fame as the guitar player for the Black Crowes, fortune, a beautiful wife and home; seemingly, he had it all. But in the blink of an eye, much of it was gone. How he managed to make it through with graciousness and his sense of self intact is examined on his new solo album, Through A Crooked Sun.

 Again Into Eyes
S.C.U.M.
$19.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Based in London, S.C.U.M. exploded onto the music scene two years ago with the release of their debut single "Visions Arise." The single, together with their exciting and intense live shows, quickly grabbed the imagination of fans and critics alike. Since then the band has toured extensively across the UK and Europe to a growing fan base, most recently opening for The Kills.
S.C.U.M.'s debut album, Again Into Eyes is a triumphant arrival. It reels from carnival-esque toughness to a second side that comes close to despair before mainlined redemption in the form of "Whitechapel," a utopian, future-disco monolith, washed in otherworldly mellotron and choirs, it's perhaps the biggest surprise on the record.
S.C.U.M. is Thomas Cohen (vocal), Bradley Baker (machines), Samuel Kilcoyne (moog), Melissa Rigby (drums) and Huw Webb (Bass). Again Into Eyes is produced by Ken and Jolyon Thomas.

 Forever Abomination
Skeletonwitch
$19.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Skeletonwitch has been called every name in the book: death metal, black metal, thrash metal, speed metal, heavy metal, epic viking blackened thrash 'n' roll, and so on. "It seems the only description everyone can agree on is metal," says guitarist Scott Hedrick, "and that suits us just fine."
Like Satan himself set loose in the hallowed halls of heavy metal, these Athens, Ohio-based head bangers careen wildly through the music's history, gleefully destroying and setting flame to every genre along the way. No other band has tapped into the fire, fury and frost of all things metal like Skeletonwitch.
The latest slab of savage, molten metal, Forever Abomination, is a testament to their refined craft, honed through years of hard work and relentless touring. On Forever Abomination, Skeletonwitch's unique blend of metal was given a kick in the ass by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Hatebreed) who produced and recorded the album. The group's carefully crafted tunes and technical mastery are brought to the forefront by Hyde's monolithic production.

 Bad As Me
Tom Waits
$21.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Bad As Me is Tom Waits first studio album of all new music in seven years. This pivotal work refines the music that has come before and signals a new direction. Waits, in possibly the finest voice of his career, worked with a veteran team of gifted musicians and longtime co-writer/producer Kathleen Brennan.
From the opening horn-fueled chug of Chicago, to the closing barroom chorale of New Years Eve, Bad As Me displays the full career range of Waits songwriting, from beautiful ballads like Last Leaf, to the avant cinematic soundscape of Hell Broke Luce, a battlefront dispatch. On tracks like Talking at the Same Time, Waits shows off a supple falsetto, while on blues burners like Raised Right Men and the gospel tinged Satisfied he spits, stutters and howls.
Like a good boxer, these songs are lean and mean, with strong hooks and tight running times. A pervasive sense of players delighting in each others musical company brings a feeling of loose joy even to the albums saddest songs.
Track Listing:
1. Chicago
2. Raised Right Men
3. Talking At The Same Time
4. Get Lost
5. Face To The Highway
6. Pay Me
7. Back In The Crowd
8. Bad As Me
9. Kiss Me
10. Satisfied
11. Last Leaf
12. Hell Broke Luce
13. New Year's Eve

 Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned
Prodigy
$29.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
In a time when rock critics saw The Prodigy as a glorified keyboard player flanked by a couple of weird and scary dancers, Liam Howlett & co showed the world how dance had evolved away from the club scene and into the festivals & arenas.
And they did that by staying true to their own sound.
While dance moved from Acid House to Rave to Ambient to Breakbeat & Drum 'n' Bass, The Prodigy changed their brand of hard-hitting Breakbeat with king-sized hooks and unmissable samples only sparingly.
Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned was the long-awaited album after their breakthrough smash Fat Of The Land.
Featured on the album are namesake Liam Gallagher, Kool Keith, Twista and even Juliette Lewis, morphed and wrangled beyond recognition on an album that goes back to the core of what The Prodigy stands for: a thumping bass, mad beats & noise flying every which way but loose!
Track Listing:
1. Spitfire
2. Girls
3. Memphis Bells

 Bad Moon Rising
Sonic Youth
$32.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Orange Colored Vinyl
An album quite unlike any other in the colorful Sonic Youth canon, Bad Moon Rising captures the New York band in 1985 during its most morose phase, one that is quite forbidding yet fascinating all the same. The proper album is an eight-song tapestry of droning guitar feedback, distant clattering percussion, and dreamy vocal mumblings, all of it woven together by sullen interludes of ambient noise.
It's a piercing capstone to an otherwise hazy album and is no doubt one of the highlights of Sonic Youth's overall output.
Track Listing:
1. Intro (Sonic Youth/Bad Moon Rising)
2. Brave Men Run (In My Family)
3. Society Is A Hole
4. I Love Her All The Time
5. Ghost Bitch
6. I'm Insane
7. Justice Is Might

 Rock n Roll Party; Honoring Les Paul (Limited Edition)
Jeff Beck
$37.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Guitar legend Jeff Beck continually reaches for new heights and successfully creates exciting performances with each new album he releases. No stranger to the stages of the world, a Jeff Beck concert is always an event. Whether playing to sell out stadiums,theatres or smaller intimate club settings, his performances are second to none.
It is no secret that Les Paul was a big influence on Jeff Beck. The two icons were good friends, and Jeff always wanted to do something special for this late pioneer of the music world. He enlisted a couple of his closest friends like new sensations Imelda May and Darrel Higham, jazz great Trombone Shorty, the legendary Gary U.S. Bonds, and Stray Cats founder Brian Setzer and delivered what comes naturally to an artist of his caliber, a truly amazing one-time concert performance for the history books.
Jeff Becks Rock N Roll Party: Honoring Les Paul has been a very well-received compact disc release this year, and now it is with much honor to announce the first time Friday Music 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl release of this amazing recording. Mastered impeccably from the original ATCO Records/Deuce Records tapes for vinyl by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and Capitol Mastering in Hollywood, this deluxe limited edition 2 LP set truly is a great gift for the upcoming holiday season.
Filled with four artfully mastered sides of non-stop artistry, Jeff Beck and friends create the atmosphere of a party that never stops!
Solid openers like Double Talkin Baby and Cruisin featuring the soaring vocals of Darrel Higham kick this bash into high gear. Even Jeff Becks old band The Yardbirds get a nod with a stunning rendition of The Train Kept A Rollin.
Then, theres the one and only Imelda May. One of the most talked about, new and exciting stars in the music world today. Her arresting voice and Jeff Becks unmatched guitar technique is a duo made in heaven. Both artists are beautifully displayed on their amazing interpretations of Les Paul and Mary Fords hits How High The Moon, Vaya Con Dios, Mockingbird Hill and others.
Make room for even more rockers as the super high energy band and Maestro Jeff Beck take on top notch instrumentals like Henry Mancinis classic Peter Gunn, the California surf sounds of Apache and of course Santo and Johnnys ballad of all ballads Sleepwalk.
Even more Imelda May and Darrel Higham vocals excel further, as a parade of guest stars enter the stage with the fantastic classic rock and soul sounds of Gary U.S. Bonds with the rockin New Orleans. Plus, the amazing closer with Brian Setzer and his solid interpretation of Eddie Cochrans Twenty Flight Rock..make this wonderful album an unbelievable one-of-a-kind event for sure!
Jeff Becks Rock N Roll Party: Honoring Les Paul is truly an inspiring and amazing showcase of music, master musician ship and a tribute to an innovator of the music business, which was perfectly recorded for a high grade vinyl release

 Ghost Town
Owen
$15.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Ghost Town is the latest album from Mike Kinsella aka Owen. Kinsella is best known for his other
bands American Football and Capn Jazz and has developed a cult following as Owen.
Whereas previous Owen albums have been more somber affairs, touring with Capn Jazz in 2010 had a direct impact with the recording/writing of Ghost Town.
As a result, the album features some of Owens loudest, rock-leaning moments to date -- exemplified
by the forcefully crescendoing outro of I Believe and the screeching electric guitar solo in Everyones Asleep in the House but Me.
Track Listing:
1. Too Many Moons
2. No Place Like Home
3. O, Evelyn...
4. I Believe
5. The Armoire

The release of My Oracle Lives Uptown on 180g vinyl represents an exciting partnership between Linn, the worlds leading LP player manufacturer, and William Orbit, the leading pioneer in the Electronica genre.

Over the years, Journeys music has been used in films and recently in several high-profile TV shows (particularly the song Dont Stop Believin).

In The Groove contains ten selections from Sara K.'s previous CD and DVD releases, including studio as well as live recordings. On the one side we have her impressive and very convincing solo live concerts, where she fascinates her audience solely with her unique voice and her almost fragile-sounding accompaniment on the 4-string guitar.
On the flip side there are her beautiful studio recordings, where a whole range of musicians complement her pieces with an endless palette of musical styles, instruments and ideas: from concert harp, string quartet and accordion through to fretless bass, tuba and piano.
Stockfisch Records wanted to document these two sides of Sara K's work on the second release in their In the Groove series, recorded here onto 180g vinyl LP using their own Neumann VMS-82 Direct-Metal-Mastering (DMM) cutting lathe.

 Holiday
The Magnetic Fields
$18.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Stephin Merritt has claimed that each of the first four Magnetic Fields albums has a specific and unique musical style. It is telling that Holiday shares its name with Madonna's first major hit single, because the musical style on display here is early-'80s-style synth-dance-pop. Of course, in 1994, at the pinnacle of the post-grunge "alternative" era, few musics could have been more resolutely unfashionable. There's no doubt that the ever-contrary Merritt had this in mind all along. In keeping with the escapist title and lighthearted music, Merritt's lyrics only occasionally-and then only lightly-touch upon his usual world-weary cynicism, as on the mournful "Deep Sea Diving Suit." Merritt pursues a more romantic path for most Holiday, crooning the swooning "Take Ecstasy With Me" and "Strange Powers" with an uncharacteristic lightness of spirit. Chances are that it is all deeply ironic and bitter, but at least on the surface, Holiday is sheer delight.
Track Listing:
1. BBC Radiophonic Workshop
2. Desert Island
3. Deep Sea Diving Suit
4. Strange Powers
5. Torn Green Velvet Eyes

When Oscar Brown died at the age of 78 in 2005, one journalist at least, from The New York Times, was unsure as to how to describe the artist to whom America had just bid a final farewell. To write in his obituary that he was a jazz singer seemed too platitudinous, because Brown didn’t just sing his songs, he performed them. But it would have been just as wrong to honour him as a jazz songwriter, despite his collaborations with Miles Davis and Max Roach, because he was more closely associated with gospel, folk and blues.
His vocal qualities lie in a recitative-like, dry declamation, sharp as a knife, as is clearly heard in "Work Song". The pain brought on by life’s adversities can be cried out internally even if you appear to remain unaffected outwardly ("But I Was Cool"). A portion of sarcasm is necessary when the singsong of a slave trader constantly calls for higher bids ("Bid ’Em In"), and when a babbling child can pester its daddy with both banal and existential questions ("Dat Dere").
The generously manned band does not often play all together as in the springy "Signifyin’ Monkey". Here we have just a few chords on the piano ("Watermelon Man"), there a gently plucked guitar ("Brown Baby"), or a quiet pulsating rhythm ("Afro Blue") – very often not much more was needed for a sin and soul performance by Oscar Brown, who, by the way, and so typically American, regarded himself as an Entertainer.
Musicians:
- Oscar Brown Jr. (vocal)
- Phil Bodner (saxophone)
- Billy Butterfield (trumpet)
- Floyd Morris (piano)
- Don Arnone (guitar)
- George Duvivier (bass)
- Osie Johnson (drums)
Recording: June - October 1960
About Speakers Corner
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Speakers Corner all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.
During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existant tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasise that Speakers Corner Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle. We have one digital recording in our catalogue (Alan Parsons / Eye In The Sky“), but even in this particular case we used the analogue tapes for cutting.
We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.
To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects – excluding the exception above – and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.

 I Musici (Speakers Corner)
Barber, Resphigi, Britten, and Bartok
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
To compile a music sampler might seem simple, but the conceivers of this LP set themselves several hurdles to spice up their task. Among the infinite possibilities of an overall binding element, they chose to put together works by modern composers who reached back to past traditions. Because most pieces are arrangements for I Musici – a chamber ensemble that tends to favour baroque conventions – one might imagine that all works sound somewhat similar.
But less can also mean more, for Respighi’s heavyweight sound in his arrangements of ancient dances is hardly missed thanks to the ensemble lending the work a light and airy warmth.
Barber’s Opus 11, originally conceived as a quartet, has gained in sound colouring and once again proves itself as a true essential among all Adagios. Bartók’s artistically convoluted Folk Dances prove themselves to be real little gems in Arthur Willner’s transcription. The orchestra quite obviously delights in conjuring up the delicate melodies and tingling pizzicato, while the stamping peasant rhythms are played with gusto.
Closest here to the original sound is Britten’s Simple Symphony, composed for a school orchestra, in which Britten makes use of favourite tunes from his youth. The reason that this composition – shot through with pizzicato from beginning to end – has been arranged for an orchestra of plucked instruments cannot and will not remain a secret for anyone listening to this perfect interpretation.

 Lord Have Mercy
Mississippi Fred McDowell

Born in Rossville, Tennessee in 1904, Mississippi Fred McDowell is one of the great Delta bluesmen, and by 1971 when his You Gotta Move first appeared on the Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers album, one of its best known. But in 1959 when he was first hunted down at his home in Como, Mississippi by Alan Lomax (and Shirley Collins) he had not yet made a single recording. The first time McDowells amazing repertoire was ever committed to tape was when Lomax set up his tape recorder on McDowells front porch and over a period of 4 days from September 21-25, 1959 proceeded to record McDowell singing and playing acoustic guitar, joined at times by guitarist Miles Pratcher and Fannie Davis on comb. Occasional vocals were also provided by McDowells
wife Annie Mae, James Shorty, Sidney Carter and Rose Hemphill. Lord Have Mercy is an excerpt of that historic front porch session.

 Breakfast At Tiffany's (Speakers Corner)
Henry Mancini
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

Long nights, dizzy parties, a variety of men-friends, and breakfast standing before the window display of the famed jewellery company govern the life of the dazzling Holly Golightly, who has in reality a very ordinary name and poverty-stricken background. All the more rich is the musical carpet that Henry Mancini lays beneath the feet of the exotic, wealthy-husband-seeking socialite. The tender, plaintive worldwide hit "Moon River" apart, Mancini and his Hollywood musicians mix a sugar-sweet sound with enough acrid elements to glaze over the capricious lady’s character. The cool big band sound is spiced with a bold trumpet solo ("The Big Blow Out") and mellow violins with a suspiciously tame male choir ("Breakfast At Tiffany’s"). As is well known, there is a great deal of dancing in the film, including a number with a Latin-American rhythm ("Latin Golightly"), and a grooving mambo ("Loose Caboose"). At the end of the film even the "Moon River" swells to become a bubbling cha-cha, as though to say that a 'happy end' must in no way sound sentimental.
A further Mancini mix –The "Pink Panther" soundtrack (RCA LSP 2795) – is also available from Speakers Corner.
Musicians:
- Henry Mancini (arranger, conductor, p) & orchestra

 The Pink Panther (Speakers Corner)
Henry Mancini
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed

The film director Blake Edwards brought into existence what is probably the best opening sequence to his comic crime film when he commissioned a young enterprising company to produce an animated Pink Panther cartoon film. The creative team came up with the idea of giving the cold, glittering diamond the guise of a cool, pink panther, which leads a bungling detective on a merry dance to the slinky sound of the Panther theme.
Mancini would not be Mancini if he did not bathe the film location – the skiing resort Cortina d’Ampezzo –in highly varied musical colours and genres. His well-known love for dance music finds itself in the samba ("It Had Better Be Tonight"), the shuffle ("Champagne And Quail"), and the cha-cha ("Something For Sellers"). But also the ballad, sung by a muted trumpet and saxophone ("Royal Blue"), or the simple combination of keyboard and strings ("Piano And Strings") are all woven into the story. One of the most memorable and delightful sounds is that of the accordion, whose melodies evoke an atmosphere that is filled with the Bohčme, Paris and the sound of the musette. This music is never gaudy, but subtle, just like a panther padding quietly along. And if your appetite is now whetted for more, there is an extra portion of Mancini to be found in "Breakfast At Tiffany’s" (RCA LSP 2362).

 Duke Ellington At Newport 1958 (Speakers Corner)
Duke Ellington
$34.99

The appearance of Duke Ellington and His Orchestra at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival was such a tremendous success that it was quite natural that organizer George Wein invited the band to take part again in 1958. All the soloists were still around, and in addition Gerry Mulligan was invited to perform a duet with Harry Carney ("Prima Bara Dubla"). What an event to look forward to!
But this time the old diehards were disappointed: the Duke had had some new tunes written for him, which of course didn’t trigger any memories: "El Gato", with Cat Anderson playing with the rest of the trumpet section, a new composition ("Happy Reunion") for Paul Gonsalves on the tenor saxophone, and then some compositions which were reminiscent of Debussy, and arrangements by Billy Strayhorn. Also there was a fantastic flugelhorn solo by Clark Terry in "Juniflip". The highlight of the concert, though, was when the kings of the baritone sax, Gerry Mulligan and Harry Carney, stood in the limelight, and the Duke Ellington Orchestra could celebrate a similar triumph to that of 1956.
More than 50 years later, these recordings made at the Newport Jazz Festival will have you sitting on the edge of your seat!

In 2005 Josh Homme, eleven multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes and band members Van Leeuwen and Castillo recorded the Queens' fourth studio album 'Lullabies to Paralyze'. On this record Homme's voice blends into the band's sound as all the instruments bleed together as one, creating a hypnotic force that finds endless, fascinating variations of a seemingly simple sound. The result: an addictive album that begs listeners to get lost in its ever-shifting moods and slyly sinister sensuality. The record features the appearance of several guests, most notably ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and of course the sensational Mark Lanegan. The record debuted at number 5 in the Billboard Music Chart, the greatest initial success of any Queens Of The Stone Age record to date.

 Frozen In Time
Obituary
$23.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
In early 2004, Obituary finally decided to start working on their sixth studio record. Often, when bands haven't been together for years, writing sessions are initially strained or unproductive and it takes a while for the musicians to get back on their creative feet. Obituary had no such problem. One listen to the band's new album, Frozen In Time, and it's clear that Obituary have returned with the same force and fortitude they had in the early '90s. "On the Floor" opens with an incisive, churning riff, thunderous beats and bloodcurdling vocals before shifting into a chugging, bone-splintering breakdown, "Blindsided" rides a gradually ascending hate groove to a destination just south of Hell, and "Back Inside" fuses colossal crunch with pummeling double-bass drumming to create a deadly mosh pit firestorm. From start to finish, Frozen In Time was created without any major trauma or turbulence. In fact, one of the biggest challenges for Obituary happened after they finished in the studio and were trying to come up with a name for the record. They considered titling it after one of the album tracks, but decided that no single cut could adequately represent the album. They thought about naming it something that would reference to their reunification after seven long years. Finally, they decided they were best off with Frozen In Time.

 Mad Dogs & Englishmen
Joe Cocker
$39.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Mad Dogs and Englishmen is Joe Cocker's legendary live album, recorded in 1970 at the Fillmore East.
For this record Joe Cocker created a unique sound: a veritable definition of big-band rock with three dozen players working behind the singer.
Mad Dogs and Englishmen consists mostly of covers, drawing equally from rock (The Rolling Stones, Traffic, Bob Dylan, The Beatles) and soul (Ray Charles, Sam and Dave, Otis Redding), and is as much a showcase for arranger & bandleader Leon Russell as it is for Joe Cocker.
As we now know the tour from which this album was drawn took a heavy toll on Joe Cocker and especially his vocal chords because the music was presented on such a grand scale.
Nevertheless, the music still stands to this date and beyond.

White Vinyl
Force of Habit is the fifth album by the thrash metal band Exodus. The songs are a departure from the thrash metal style for Exodus, slower and more experimental. Many of the song titles are figures of speech. Force of Habit is Exodus's last release until their 1997 live album Another Lesson in Violence and is also their last studio album until 2004's Tempo of the Damned, since the band went on two extended hiatuses. This is Exodus's last album to feature John Tempesta on drums and is also their only album to feature Mike Butler on bass. It is the band's only release without the jagged edged "Exodus" logo that had appeared on all of the band's previous and subsequent releases.

With a newly-rejuvenated line-up and their signature sound intact, San Francisco's Hammers of Misfortune return with 17th Street, a brash and heartfelt song cycle, blending the best elements of NWOBHM, thrash, doom metal, and American folk music while somehow sounding unlike any of these. 17th Street takes the band's inimitable sound to a new level, creating an emotional gravity that only further accentuates the band's formidable songwriting chops.

1. 317

3. The Grain
4. Staring (The 31st Floor)
5. The Day the City Died
