"Blend 2," his answer to his first record's opus "Blend," is a must have for all of those who love John Fahey and Six Organs Of Admittance. A ghostly, warm record as a whole: Bull is on top of his game and once again reinventing the way the ear hears the hand as it plays the guitar.

Another classic LP from the P-Funk camp, originally released in 1973. The title track is an absolute stone classic funk jam and "Nappy Dugout" is another heavily sampled nugget (most notably on A Tribe Called Quest's "Ham And Eggs"). George Clinton gets heavy too, in the harrowing Vietnam War spoken word "March To The Witch's Castle." Get down with another killer Funkadelic title.

Funkadelic's second LP, originally released in 1970, is another straight up masterpiece from the stoniest, strangest funk and R&B group of all-time. Opening with the 10 minute title track complete with a shredding keyboard solo from Bernie Worrell and, of course, the six-stringed insanity of Eddie Hazel. One of George Clinton's finest sets of songs and another essential part of the Parliament-Funkadelic catalog.

Along with the Stooges, the New York Dolls were largely responsible for pioneering the sound and attitude of punk, and this, their self-titled debut, is one of the founding documents of post-'60s rock. Outrageous, shambolic and bursting with energy, the Dolls borrowed from the amped-up, bluesy swagger of the Rolling Stones, the pop confections of Phil Spector, and the campy theatrics that would flower with the glam movement, yet brought it all together with a visceral impact that recalled the jolt of early rock & roll.

Marvin Gaye's masterpiece What's Going On is one of the most important and passionate soul records ever made and it directly influenced other artists to take greater responsibility in the meaning of their music. Gaye co-wrote the songs and produced the album, which was a social commentary on the American dream that had given itself to urban and environmental problems including unemployment and poverty. Now available on this 180g Import LP. An absolute must have for the title track alone!

Verve's legendary songbook editions are among Ella Fitzgerald's very best repertoire. The singer, who was stylistically at home in every genre, from jazz, to the evergreens of the Great American Songbooks, to pop songs, is to this day one of the most versatile interpreters of the American vocal scene. Her recording of the Harold Arlen Songbook, made in 1960 and '61, is, along with similar projects with songs by Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Duke Ellington, the very best of its kind. Harold Arlen discovered his propensity for jazz as a pianist, orchestrator and musical producer of the Cotton Club shows over many years. So it is not surprising that much of what flowed from his pen had a distinct jazz leaning. "Ella is the only vocalist who manages to sing even the most complicated phrases of my songs with poise and lightness," he stated upon completion of the production. The musical quality of the 26 refurbished audiophile tracks, including two bonus tracks, make this re-release a timeless work of reference of American easy listening. The superb big band, along with the brilliant arrangements and conducting of Billy May, provides the perfect backing.

Sassy's years on the Roulette label (1960-64) have been called the legendary singer's finest hour, a time when her musicality merged exquisitely with her unbridled vocal ardor to achieve the sublime. Sarah Sings Soulfully, recorded at the close of that period, stands as a stunning testament to this claim, a divine collection of tracks that reveals an artist staking her soul on the rendering of each and every note, as well as the silences between them. Seductively spare, luxuriously poignant, and achingly honest all at the same time, Vaughan's vocals careen incandescently through the 12 standards presented here, swooping, sighing and soaring with an intensity that remains unparalleled to this day.

David Byrne and Brian Eno have paired up for their first record together as co-writers since the highly influential and critically acclaimed 1981 release My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Self-released, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today is the culmination of a years worth of writing, recording and travel between New York and London.

The record was conceptualized during a visit to Brian Eno's studio after the two reconnected upon Nonesuch Records' re-release of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Byrne explains, "I recall Brian mentioning that he had a lot of largely instrumental tracks he'd accumulated, and since, in his words, he hates writing words, I suggested I have a go at writing some words, and tunes over a few of them, and we'd see what happens." Thus the two began exchanging vocal and instrumental tracks, and the transatlantic collaboration began. The album features Byrne's lyrics and voice alongside Eno's various electronic tracks. "When we started this work, we started to think we were making something like electronic gospel: a music where singing was the central event, but whose sonic landscapes were not the type normally associated with that way of singing," says Eno. "This thought tapped into my long love affair with gospel music, which, curiously, was inadvertently initiated by David and the Talking Heads."

There's no album that better illustrates the brilliant fusion of progressive aspirations and popular music than Supertramp's Crime of the Century.

Metallica Ride The Lightning (Limited Edition 45RPM 180g 2 x Vinyl LP Set) This series will allow Metallica fans the option to hear these legendary recordings as never before... Louder, Faster, Heavier!!! Half Speed Mastered from the Original Analog Tapes at Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs for the Ultimate Listening Experience... Audiophile Quality! Don't let that classical-guitar-ish opening to "Fight Fire with Fire" fool you, Ride the Lightning packs a heavy-metal wallop. This early Metallica album is indubitably one of their best. Thematically, it explores death and dying from myriad points of view; nuclear war on "Fight Fire with Fire", electric-chair execution on "Ride the Lightning" and drowning on "Trapped Under Ice." Interestingly enough, the best track on this album is probably "Fade to Black," a slower, more introspective song about suicide. There's also "Creeping Death," which remains a concert favorite. An excellent mix of rapid-fire guitar riffs, rip-roaring solos and singer James Hetfield's trademark growl, this is thrash metal at its finest. Very highly recommended.

The year 1956 documents a new, great chapter in the history of jazz music: Norman Granz founds his third label, VERVE, manages to win Ella Fitzgerald (who has deserted DECCA) and initiates the Songbook Series which not only attracts a totally new listening public, but also establishes Ella’s reputation as the “First Lady of Song”. The Cole Porter Songbook marks the glorious beginning of a series which finally expanded to seven titles. The recording’s success was practically a foregone conclusion. Porter had written hundreds of wonderful songs from which Granz made an initial choice of 50 songs before Ella and the bandleader and arranger Buddy Bregman finally decided upon what was, for them, the crème de la crème. The result was a list of 32 songs, all of which make easy listening not only thanks to their melodic originality and harmonic genius but particularly to the wonderful amalgamation of the text – which Porter always wrote himself – and the music. Each and every one is a classic in its own right. Bregman’s arrangements never seek to disguise the fact that all these songs originated on Broadway, and Ella proves her greatness by finding something new in such old favourites as Night and Day, I Love Paris and I Get A Kick Out Of You. And as if that wasn’t enough, Bregman’s orchestra sounds absolutely splendid. What a pity, many will say, that all 50 songs weren’t recorded.

During the King's artistically unproductive period of military service, no costs or efforts were spared and no consolatory promises of things to come were left unsaid by the management in order to keep Elvis alive and well in the minds of his vast circle of fans. At last the great coup was landed: Elvis Is Back was what everyone was waiting to hear and American radio and television broadcasting stations made a gigantic medial feast of it. With the ink scarcely dry on his demobilization papers, Elvis entered the studio in March 1960 and recorded a whole series of numbers which later became worldwide hits, such as 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' and 'It's Now Or Never.' Released as singles, these tender ballads created a sensation, while the LP with numbers such as 'Dirty, Dirty Feeling,' 'Like A Baby' and 'The Thrill Of Your Love' underlined Elvis' enhanced qualities as a rock, blues and gospel singer. That his voice - despite everyone's fears - had lost nothing of its erotic thrill is more than amply demonstrated in his rendering of 'Fever' alone, which is accompanied merely by bass and percussion.

Three decades ago, when Riverside paired Thelonious Monk and Gerry Mulligan on this album, it seemed a daring move. These two appeared to represent opposite ends of the jazz spectrum, separated by geography (East Coast and West) as much as by style (bop vs. cool). Actually, it was a rather safe project: producer Orrin Keepnews had learned that the two men were friends; even more importantly, it is now clear that both were the kind of revolutionaries who had substantial (and not dissimilar) respect for jazz tradition. The album was, as advertised, a meeting of giants, but its most lasting value may be as proof that there was a strong bond connecting theoretically opposing forms of early modern jazz.

One of those rare combinations that occur only in the recording studio happened between John Coltrane and Kenny Burrell in 1958. The rhythm team of Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb, who were with the Miles Davis quintet, was enhanced by the suave, swinging piano of Tommy Flanagan, at that time solidifying his growing reputation on the New York scene.

This is the one-time chemistry of Burrell and Coltrane, the blend of guitar and tenor saxophone in a mix of originals and standards; one of the latter, “Why Was I Born,” is a duet for the two principals.

The recordings John Coltrane made for Prestige, both with and without Miles Davis, helped establish his first substantial foothold in the jazz world. He showed that he could play the blues; and whether he was treating a ballad at the usual tempo or taking one upstairs, he combined thought and emotion in a completely individual manner. The Garland trio, itself a recording entity for the label, was a strong unit that was sensitive to Trane's musical attitudes.

Barney Kessel, Shelly Manne, and Ray Brown did not record together simply because they all happened to have won first place on their respective instruments in the Down Beat, Playboy, and Metronome polls. Their collaboration was due to mutual respect, and their sensitivity to one another's musical requirements. Here, in a set composed mainly of pop and jazz standards, they represent the ultimate in their fields, constituting a rhythm section that also provides brilliant solo interludes by all three members. Collectively, Kessel, Manne, and Brown won dozens of polls over the years; this record eloquently tells you why.

This session is a model of the emotionally intense ballad programs featured on Prestige's Moodsville subsidiary. The great Kenny Burrell receives a major assist from saxophone patriarch Coleman Hawkins (who is in exemplary early-Sixties form), Hawkins' rhythm section of the time (made up exclusively of natives of Burrell's hometown Detroit) and conga drummer Ray Barretto. The choice of material and variety of settings are inspired, with Burrell heard solo on "No More," over just bass and drums on "Guilty," in two different settings and on three titles by the full sextet. Each soloist is fully engaged throughout, with things shifting into even higher gear when Burrell and Hawkins converse on "Montono Blues" and "I Thought About You."

From the moment he exploded from Florida onto the New York scene in 1955, Cannonball Adderley was accepted by musicians, critics and listeners as a welcome arrival. By the time he and Milt Jackson teamed up for Things Are Getting Better, Adderley was becoming a major figure, due in part to his membership in the Miles Davis Sextet, but primarily because of the expansive joyousness of his playing. Jackson’s role in modern jazz went back to the early days of bebop when Dizzy Gillespie sent for him in 1945 to come from Detroit and join his sextet. Adderley and Jackson had in common superb skills in all aspects of music, a broad understanding and deep appreciation of jazz history and styles, and the earthiness bred by immersion in the blues. With the superlative rhythm section of Wynton Kelly, Percy Heath and Art Blakey, they produced one of the most exhilarating albums of the twentieth century.

Sam Cooke joined the Soul Stirrers in 1951, replacing their lead singer R.H. Harris, right after the group had signed with Specialty records.

This collection of early songs by the Gibb brothers of disco music fame sees the trio at their beginnings, when they had just moved from their native Isle of Man to Brisbane, Australia. All of the songs featured here are from their pre-Australian-fame period (1963-1966) and include a number of tunes that later became part of their early LP releases when they were a soft rock band with a hint of bubblegum style. For everyone who never knew that the Bee Gees were more than medallions, flares and a Bundy brothers hairstyle.

Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s are an 8-piece circle of young friends from Indiana who, in the spring of 2005, quietly released one of the most beloved indescribable records in recent memory, The Dust of Retreat. The band was signed to Epic Records in October of 2007, and wrote and recorded their major label debut with Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine). Two seperate releases were born from that recording session; Animal and Not Animal. Animal represents the band’s alternate track listing and will ONLY be released on 180 gram vinyl with digital download card a week before the traditional CD and vinyl release of Not Animal. This is a move that is rarely seen in the record industry, and with 5 tracks crossing over both albums, will provide a total of 19 new tracks for fans. Most often described as a dysfunctional family orchestra, the band has toured the country with The Elected, Rogue Wave, The Frames, South and The Fray, among others.

Trumpeter Johnny Coles, a distinctive and passionate player best known for his associations with Gil Evans, the remarkable Charles Mingus Quintet of 1964, and Herbie Hancock’s late 60’s Sextet, led relatively few albums of his own, and only two before 1982. Recorded in 1963, Little Johnny C is universally recognized as Johnny Coles’ finest recording. Cole’s soulful trumpet is heard in superb form as he pushes the hard bop mainstream forward. Duke Pearson, who was both a very skilled pianist, as well as one of the top arrangers of the 1960s, contributes five very fresh originals to the set. Notably, Little Johnny C is also one of tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson’s finest early recordings – his round sound and innovative phrasing clearly evident at this early point in his career. With the superb title cut, the ballad “So Sweet My Little Girl”, and “Jano” being high-points, in addition to beautiful flute and alto solos contributed by Leo Wright, “Little Johnny C” is an masterful album by an artist at his creative peak. This is a set to be savored again and again.

Big Bad World, is the Plane White T's highly anticipated follow-up to the band’s platinum-plus-selling breakthrough release Every Second Counts which boasted the mega-hit single “Hey There Delilah.” Big Bad World was recorded at Morning View Studios in Malibu, California and Groove Master Studios in Chicago with producer Johnny K and mixed by Andy Wallace (Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Avenged Sevenfold). The first single off the album will be "Natural Disaster."

Described as a departure from their usual sound, singer Tom Higgenson explains, "It definitely doesn't sound too much like any of our peers as much as our last album or last few albums have. I think this will stand alone stylistically and is kind of in a way a songwriting celebration from the '50s and '60s."

For the six months leading up to this release, Matador has put out a limited edition 7-inch by Memphis boy wonder Jay Reatard every month. Each generated more attention, but was released in a progressively more limited run, starting with 3,500 copies for the first and ending with 400 copies for the sixth. This package collects all six (excluding the "Deerhunter" track on #4), plus one extra song. Each tune is a perfect snarling pop-punk gem. Here on HQ180g vinyl with booklet and MP3 coupon.

"In this short span of time, Reatard has cranked out more memorable songs than some acts do in their whole careers." - Pitchfork

The second outing from Toronto's hardcore wunderkinds is a dense, orchestral effort and expansive epic about the mysteries of birth, death and the origins of life. Merging elements of hardcore songwriting with up to 70 tracks of guitars, organs, winds and vocals, the songs are iconoclastic and startling, with Pink Eyes' growling vocals front and center. Though Fucked Up remain punks at heart, if quixotically diverse ones, they have created a great, weird, heavy record that stubbornly sticks in your brain and your heart.

Mogwai's sixth album continues to showcase the fiercely layered guitars and dynamics of their classic work, and features a new array of rhythms and melodies which hint more than ever at their electronic and metal influences. With only two songs under the five-minute mark, this may be their most cinematic-sounding record to date. The Scottish quintet has laid much of the groundwork for the massive, atmospheric bands who have shot to fame over the past decade including: Explosions In The Sky, Mono, Pelican, Isis and others. Not only do Mogwai remain masters of the eloquently stretched guitar phrase, they have also expanded the syntax to include a new, almost beat-driven sound. “The Sun Smells Too Loud,” the first single, recalls Yo La Tengo in their sunnier moments, with a touch of early Boards of Canada.

This holiday season has been blessed with the first ever holiday album by the radiant voice of Sarah McLachlan! Brand new audiophile 180g version of the recently Grammy nominated Wintersong is a must buy for audiophiles and Sarah McLachlan fans alike!

Featuring her usually well recorded sound and production, this 180g pressing of Sarah's first holiday album is really atypical and noteworthy. Her innovative versions of some very well known tunes are quite magical featuring a wonderful cover of Joni Mitchell's River and a duet with Diana Krall as well (on Christmastime Is Here).

It's coming for Christmas...and 3-time Grammy and 8-time Juno Award-winning multi-platinum Arista recording artists Sarah McLachlan, who has sold over 30 million records around the world, will usher in the spirit of the season with Wintersong, a 12 song collection.

Recorded in her home studio in Vancouver, Sarah McLachlan presents these classic songs on Wintersong with a unique twist, making them her own and translating them into her repertoire. These recordings are not simply traditional holiday fare. Instead, Wintersong could be considered the soundtrack to a blustery winter day. The album opens with her version of John Lennon's timeless declaration of peace from 1971 "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". John and Yoko and the Plastic Ono Band originally recorded the song with the Harlem Community Choir, and Sarah is also joined by a choral group - a children's choir of students form the school she personally funds and oversees in her hometown of Vancouver.

Another highlight for the new album is Sarah's version of "River" from Joni Mitchell's 1971 Blue album. The title track "Wintersong" was written by Sarah specifically for this album. On this recording, she also pays homage to Gordon Lightfoot with his 1975 "Song for a Winter's Night". From the American standard songbook, Sarah has chosen "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". The program is rounded out with the traditional "What Child Is This (Greensleeves)", "O Little Town of Bethlehem", "Silent Night", the classically flavored "In A Bleak Mid Winter", and a medley of "The First Noel/Mary Mary". In addition, Wintersong features guest appearances from Diana Krall on piano on "Christmas Time Is Here" from the 1965 Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon and fellow Canadian Jim Creegan of Barenaked Ladies guests on double bass throughout the album.

Wintersong is Sarah's first new studio recording since Afterglow. The new album celebrates three years of renewed growth and self-realization for the artist who takes a joyous and festive turn on Wintersong, a timely gift from Sarah McLachlan to her universe of fans, new and old.

After refaceting some old gems for greater illumination on Hibernaculum, Earth returns once again to it's continuing evolution. Where Hex reveled in dark satanic twang and austere american beauty, The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull finds Dylan Carlson and the band growing into a harder, more rock, american Gospel and impovisitory direction framed by truly psychedelic production and blazing guitar sounds. Earth shows it's affinity with a nod to the best elements of the more adventurous San Francisco bands of the late 60's and 70's, and the more spiritually aware and exciting forms of Jazz-Rock from the same era. This is no nostalgia trip but a thoroughly inspired and original metamorphosis. The album also features legendary and virtuoso guitarist Bill Frisell on three songs. Frisell adds a brilliant texture and counterpoint to the scintillating and inspired riffs of Dylan Carlson and the band. Adrienne Davies joins again on drums lending a classic and steady feel to the proceedings. Steve Moore also returns adding heavy hammond organ and his intense jazz inspired piano playing. Live bassist Don McGreevy also makes his full length Earth debut on this record.

After the worldwide success of Tommy, Pete Townshend’s decided to take a second stab at the ’rock opera’ and 1973’s Quadrophenia was the result. Its premise is rooted in a teenage perspective in 1964-65, and the friction between ‘mods and rockers’ in the London and Bristol regions of the UK. The four-way split personality of the central figure ‘Jimmy’ has been admitted by Townshend as being based on the distinct personalities of the four band members. The legendary Glyn Johns’ production is both powerful and stunning with the writing and arrangements, featuring maybe the most tasteful use of both sound effects and synthesizers in rock recording. Pianist Chris Stainton (Spooky Tooth) contributes strong support on such songs as "The Real Me," "The Punk Meets The Godfather," "I’m One and Love Reign O’er Me," all classic Who performances. Reissued here on Double 180g Vinyl from Universal Records.

Like the band’s previous two releases, Cream’s third album, Wheels Of Fire (1968), also topped the charts. Although it was criticized at the time for being a somewhat disjointed album, divided into one LP of new studio material and one LP of live material, it went on to redeem itself on the heels of "White Room," which has gone down in the annals of history as one of the Great Moments in Rock & Roll. Reissued here on 180g Vinyl from Universal Records.

This 1966 landmark album launched the blues-rock revolution of the mid-'60s. The Bluesbreakers were formed in January 1963 and became an ever-evolving lineup of more than 100 different combinations of musicians performing under that name. Eric Clapton joined in 1965 just a few months after the release of their first album, bringing his blues influences to the forefront of the group.

The best of the Brit Blues records, lifted above the pack by blistering Clapton solos (he plays short, snappy licks, not the lengthy sonic explorations he often got into later), compelling blues vocals from John Mayall and a tight rhythm section. The covers are good (including two instrumentals) and the originals are great.

Burning From The Inside is the fourth release from this legendary British gothic rock outfit. Originally released in 1983, the album features some of the strongest performances of the band’s career, with inspired work from Peter Murphy and the first lead vocal performances from bandmates Daniel Ash on “Slice Of Life” and David J on “Who Killed Mr. Moonlight?” The album's closer “Hope” is the perfect send-off from one of the most important bands of the late '70s/early '80s.

Spacegirl and Other Favorites is a collection of the Brian Jonestown Massacre's first recordings originally released only on LP in 1996. The band as it existed in 1993, just two years after forming, was already a vehicle for the twisted artistic sense of Anton Alfred Newcombe. Recorded (mostly) around the time of the group's official debut, Methodrone, most of these songs actually feature only the work of Newcombe himself, dating from a series of all-night studio experiments that proved to be his immersion in the recording process. Remastered at Abbey Road, the album is now being reissued on "a records", Anton Newcombe's own record label, on Limited Edition 180g Green vinyl of only 1,000 copies.

Dagored is proud to bring you Maestro Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack to the 1982 controversial cult thriller Butterfly, based on a novel by James M. Cain. The film is a sordid tale of father-daughter incest and murder involving Stacy Keach and renowned Hollywood sexpot Pia Zadora, as the temptress daughter, Kady. The film also represents the last screen performance of Orson Welles, who plays a Judge attempting to convict Keach’s character for incest. Welles was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role here. Despite much criticism of the film itself and Zadora’s relentless publicity campaign prior to the film’s release, Zadora ultimately won a Golden Globe as Best New Actress for her performance. The Morricone score itself is relatively quiet, compared to some of his more nail-biting works, but as always, Morricone is a master of transforming the psychology of the film’s characters into music, which he does here with a subtle art that has made him the undisputed maestro of film scores. The quality of his work was also recognized with the track “It’s Wrong For Me To Love You,” featuring vocals by Zadora, being nominated for Best Original Song. Thanks in no small part to Pia Zadora’s steamy performance here, both the film and soundtrack have become cult classics.

A modern-day Renaissance Man, Jeb Loy Nichols is a musician, songwriter and visual artist whose creative path has taken him from his birthplace in the Midwest, to London, and rural Wales. Parish Bar “was made at home, over the past couple years, in between other projects. Some of the tracks came quickly, other tracks crawled into being, a layer at a time,” Nichols explains. “It all started because I was involved in doing a series of wood cuts entitled Ghost Yard. Ghost Yard was a public park in the Bronx where Afrika Bambaataa birthed Zulu Nation and helped bring about the age of hip-hop. When I lived in NYC in 1979 - 83, I went to the parties that Bambaataa threw there. Like the music, the parties were grass roots affairs, a collection of sounds and influences that said: what you see is what you get! This is who we are and that’s what I wanted to say with Parish Bar. This is who I was and who I am! No big deal, just relax and have a good time."
