 Wake Up The Nation
Paul Weller
$19.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
After an unparalleled career, characterized by constant musical experimentation, we should be used to Paul Weller's relentless desire to chop and change his sound. But after the triumphant, Brit Award-bagging success of 22 Dreams (his third solo #1 in the UK), his new album Wake Up the Nation sees one of rock's most iconic songwriters expand and evolve once more. A departure stylistically from the more pastoral sounds of his last album, Wake Up is lean, mean and as uncompromisingly focused as its maker. It also brings Paul Weller full circle: twenty-eight years on from The Jam's split, two tracks feature the former bassist Bruce Foxton. The album also sees contributions from My Bloody Valentine guitar alchemist Kevin Shields, ELO's Bev Bevan and legendary session drummer Clem Cattini.

‘La Sexorcisto : Devil Music Volume 1’ was both a critical and commercial success for White Zombie, climbing up the charts in the US and gaining massive MTV video airplay and mainstream rock radio airplay with "Thunder Kiss ‘65" and "Black Sunshine." The album's sound is a mix of groove metal and funk metal with lots of B-movie samples. Tactless and continuously shocking, lyricist Rob Zombie reveals blatant tales of muscle cars, sleazy encounters, and Fangoria-mustered fantasy, clearly paying homage to vintage trash culture. . Rob Zombie explained he "wanted to keep a groovable dance element in the music", a trait which is often absent in metal music. Weak appetites for raunchy, tongue-in-cheek decadence need not apply !

‘The definitive edition of a long lost treasure that’s highly recommended’ – Ptolemaic Terrascope
‘If you’re down and troubled, need a helping hand or just want a damn good listening experience, this album is absolutely essential. It’s a complete mystery as to how it has been under the radar for so long’ - Shindig
‘Beautifully recorded and arranged, But That Is Me combines 11 intense, melodic original compositions with a truly outstanding cover of God Only Knows. Her songs convey a powerful sense of emotional longing and loss, with cryptic lyrics that are resigned but never maudlin. The material spans gorgeous pop, existential ballads and even experimental rock on the extraordinary If Not By Fire’ – Galactic Ramble
‘Her mind-blowing If Not By Fire appeared on [the Saint Etienne-compiled] The Trip. It’s from an album called But That Is Me, which includes a great cover of God Only Knows, an almost impossible feat! She did a few equally intriguing non-album singles, including Coffee Cups, which is very proto Kate Bush. Most of the album is, too’ – Bob Stanley, Saint Etienne
Few Sunbeam releases have been received as enthusiastically as this lost pop classic, originally released without fanfare in the UK in June 1972. Gorgeously melodic and sung with power and emotion, it has developed a devoted following. This deluxe double LP reissue features the original album as well as 15 bonus tracks, including her five non-LP single sides and numerous alternative takes and demos from the time. The gatefold sleeve tells Mandy’s story for the first time, accompanied by previously unseen photographs and a lyric insert, making it a truly essential package for all fans of classic singer-songwriting.

The Cure evolved into one of the most visionary, creatively satisfying and influential groups to come of age in the 1980s. From dreamy pop to moody expressionism, their signature sound is adventurous, hypnotic, and beautifully melodic.
It all started in 1976 as 'Easy Cure', formed by Robert Smith (vocals, guitar) along with schoolmates Michael Dempsey (bass), Lol Tolhurst (drums) and local guitar hero Porl Thompson. They began writing and demoing their own songs almost immediately, playing throughout 1977 in Southern England to an ever growing army of fans. In 1978 the 'Easy' was dropped, along with Porl, and an eager trio now known simply as The Cure were quickly signed to Chris Parry's new Fiction label.

 Jack Johnson & Friends: Best Of The Kukua Festival
Jack Johnson
$17.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Just in time for Earth Day, Brushfire Records will release Jack Johnson and Friends: Best of Kokua Festival. The album features a 13-track compilation of live performances from Jack Johnson’s benefit concerts for the Kokua Hawaii Foundation. Proceeds from Jack Johnson and Friends: Best of Kokua Festival will benefit the Kokua Hawaii Foundation.
Culled from six years of his eco-minded music festival, Jack Johnson and Friends: Best of Kokua Festival, highlights onstage collaborations with legendary musicians like Willie Nelson, Jackson Browne, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Dave Mathews, Ziggy and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley and more.
Johnson and his band team up with more than a dozen guest artists to perform both original works and spirited covers of classic songs. The album features several of Johnson’s breezy folk-rock gems, including “Constellations” (with Eddie Vedder), “Mudfootball” (with Ozomatli & G. Love), “Breakdown” (with ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro), and “Better Together” (with Hawaiian singer Paula Fuga).
Elsewhere on Jack Johnson and Friends: Best of Kokua Festival, Johnson joins his guests for stripped-down renditions of their own songs: Taj Mahal offers his bluesy “Further On Down The Road,” Jackson Browne revisits “Take It Easy” with the help of singer/guitarist John Cruz (who also shares his Hawaiian anthem “Island Style”), and the Marley brothers bring the reggae with Ziggy’s “Cry, Cry, Cry” and Damian’s dancehall banger “Welcome to Jamrock.”
Rounding out the record are an eclectic collection of covers, including Bob Marley’s “High Tide or Low Tide” (featuring Ben Harper), Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” (featuring Eddie Vedder) and Jimmy Buffet’s “A Pirate Looks at Forty” (featuring Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds). Willie Nelson, meanwhile, delivers a Harper-assisted take on “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” the Fred Rose-penned classic he popularized.
Held on Earth Day weekend at Honolulu’s Waikiki Shell since its inception in 2004, the Kokua Festival serves as both a community-centered celebration of music and environmental awareness and as the major fundraiser for the Kokua Hawaii Foundation (a nonprofit organization founded by Johnson and his wife Kim in 2003 to support environmental education in the schools and communities of Hawaii). Like the festival itself, Jack Johnson and Friends: Best of Kokua Festival spotlights artists who share the Kokua Hawaii Foundation’s mission of protecting the planet and cultivating environmental consciousness.

Blue/Purple Swirl Colored Vinyl
First 1,000 numbered & limited colored vinyl
Import
In a musical era dominated by Nirvana and grunge, New Jersey native Dave Wyndorf and his Monster Magnet managed to set the world on fire with an abrasive bash of retro hard rock.
A simple rehashing of Led Zeppelin- and Black Sabbath-riffs would never do, and so they set their drug-damaged minds to redefining those riffs to psychedelic effect, creating their own brand of Seventies inspired space-rock.
Released in 1993, "Superjudge" is their second album. The band somewhat abandon the feedback-heavy jams of their debut in favor of groovy, and dare we say catchy, songs that still sound gritty enough to get that essential stoner feel.
A hedonistic harvest from the mushrooms planted by Hawkind, Steppenwolf and Blue Cheer…

 ...Little Broken Hearts
Norah Jones
$24.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
|
White Colored Vinyl
Little Broken Hearts is the stunning and musically diverse new break-up album from Norah Jones and fifth full-length of her storied career. The 12-song set was produced by Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and features original tracks co-written by Jones and Burton. The album is preceded by the lead single "Happy Pills" which ushers in a parade of sunshiny hooks and surprised both Jones and Burton from the moment they wrote it: “We didn’t know if it fit on the record. But I couldn’t stop singing it, and neither could Brian." explains Jones. "Eventually we decided it was too much fun, it had to be there.”
In addition to Jones and Burton, the album includes contributions from Blake Mills, Gus Seyffert, Joey Waronker, Heather McIntosh, the Sonus Quartet, Dan Elkin, Jonathan Hischke, Todd Monfalcone and Kennie Takahashi. Little Broken Hearts' artwork draws inspiration from the vintage movie posters that adorn Burton’s Los Angeles studio and is loosely based on the poster for the 1965 Russ Meyer film Mudhoney.
Little Broken Hearts’ is the fascinating next step in the artistic evolution of one of the music world’s most consistently intriguing singer/songwriters. Jones first emerged on the world stage 10 years ago with the 2002 release of Come Away With Me, her self-described “moody little record” that introduced a singular new voice and grew into a global phenomenon, sweeping the 2003 Grammy Awards and signaling a paradigm shift away from the prevailing synthetic pop music of the time. Come Away With Me has just become the 10th best-selling album of the Soundscan era and has sold 25 million copies worldwide.
Since then, Jones has released three more critically acclaimed and commercially successful solo albums with Feels Like Home (2004), Not Too Late (2007) and The Fall (2009), as well as two albums with her country collective The Little Willies.
The 2010 compilation Featuring Norah Jones showed her to possess an incredibly versatile voice by collecting her collaborations with artists as diverse as Willie Nelson, Outkast, Herbie Hancock and the Foo Fighters. Jones previously collaborated with Danger Mouse on his acclaimed 2011 album Rome, a valentine to classic Italian film score music that also featured Jack White.

 Our Time In Eden
10,000 Maniacs
$17.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Mastered by Kevin Gray
Our Time In Eden is the last 10,000 Maniacs studio album to feature original lead singer Natalie Merchant. The 1992 album is a tremendous work in terms of production and the maturity of the compositions. Everything came together for these pioneers of alternative music here. The album gets its strength from the overall style, it's full of texture and variety, whether with old-school R&B horns, chiming rhythm guitar or the simple elegance of lush piano and strings.
10,000 Maniacs wrote some of the best music of their time, rich melodies and intelligent lyrics. Like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell they excelled at cerebral, wonderful folk-pop songs. Merchant conjures up a place and time with ease and the rest of the band, Rob Buck, Dennis Drew, Steve Gustafson and Jerome Augustynicak, give her the superb support to flourish. Singles include the #1 Billboard Magazine Modern Rock Hit "These Are Days," "Candy Everybody Wants" and "Few and Far Between" as well as a number of album tracks that dominated college radio airwaves. Our time In Eden belongs in any collection of seminal '90s music, a true testament to what music beyond the mainstream could be. A finer swan song has seldom been heard.

 I Just Wasn't Made For These Times
Brian Wilson
$26.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP
|
Along with The Beach Boys, the legendary Brian Wilson, the rock and roll genius and ambassador of time honored classic rock and popular song, invented and helped shape the California sound for the entire world to enjoy for over 50 years. His distinct vision and musical imagery for The Beach Boys truly made them one of the first rock bands in history to sell multi-platinum and gold albums to millions of fans around the globe.
In 1996, Brian Wilson and long-time admirer superstar producer Don Was collaborated on what was to become a much applauded project in Wilsons long time solo career. Pre-dating his own Smile album release by several years, I Just Wasnt Made For These Times was a soundtrack to the critically acclaimed documentary which went on to receive several Emmy and Sundance nominations during the films initial run at the theater and on the Disney Channel.
Organically recorded with its minimalistic approach, Don Was reached for and delivered the soulful side of Brian Wilson. For this masterwork, Brian performs a number of his classic Beach Boys hits like "The Warmth Of The Sun," "Do It Again" (featuring daughters Carnie and Wendy Wilson) and album track treasures like "Meant For You" from Friends, "Til I Die" from Surfs Up and of course the Pet Sounds classic "Caroline, No."
For this album, Brian Wilson also included some of his later solo hits like "Love And Mercy," "Melt Away" and a very rare home studio demo of "Still I Dream Of It," plus even more Beach Boys classics like "This Whole World" from Sunflower.
In an effort to continually offer the consummate music fan with the greatest recordings of all time, Friday Music proudly presents for the first time ever on 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl, Brian Wilsons classic masterpiece I Just Wasnt Made For These Times.
Impeccably mastered from the original MCA Records tapes by long time Beach Boy friend and associate Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios with Kevin Gray, I Just Wasnt Made For These Times is a brilliant recording for the audiophile vinyl domain.
In addition to the wonderful music contained on this stunning release, to celebrate this limited edition album, Friday Music is also including a wonderful gatefold cover which features the original artwork elements from the compact disc release, rare photographs, as well as Don Was' recollections and Brian Wilsons special notes from the original artwork.

 Sixteen Saltines / Love Is Blindness 12" (Shipping Approx. May 17)
Jack White
$10.99
12" Vinyl LP
|
12" Vinyl with playable etched B-side
The second single off Jack White’s debut solo album Blunderbuss. Debuted on Saturday Night Live and worlds apart from the first single “Love Interruption,” the rock and roll power of “ Sixteen Saltines” is all the evidence needed to show that White’s solo work will be as varied as it is accomplished. Coupled with White’s stinging cover of U2’s “Love is Blindness” (from Achtung Baby) and the record metaphorically jumps off turntable.
The 12" single of Jack White’s “Sixteen Saltines” comes complete with a playable etching on the b-side (designed by George Ingram), a cover of U2’s “Love is Blindness.” Truly a sight to behold, the etching depicts Third Man’s iconic logo and the grooves of the record play through the image, presenting consumers with the world’s first-ever playable etched record (this is an entirely different process than your Split Enz and Styx records from 1980, this visual is all vinyl).
Track Listing:
1. Sixteen Saltines
2. Love Is Blindness*

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

Numbered, Limited Edition!
Remastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman from the Original Rudy Van Gelder Blue Note Master Tapes!
The Definitive issue of this classic Blue Note title!
The Jazz world was more than ready for Freddie Hubbard when the trumpeter burst upon the national scene in 1960. Clifford Brown, an early influence on Hubbard, had died tragically four years earlier. While Lee Morgan was making his mark, Hubbard's arrival gave Jazz a new explosive and colorful virtuoso. His trumpet solos made him a giant within a short time. Ready For Freddie (1961) finds Hubbard completely emerging from the pack and taking his place among the elite. The trumpeter introduces two of his finest compositions, the uptempo blues Birdlike and the dramatic Crisis and plays beautifully on his ballad feature Weaver Of Dreams. He shows sidemen Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones that he was in their league, despite being only 23. This is one of the quintessential albums for which Freddie Hubbard is best remembered.
This title is not eligible for discount.

Remastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman from the Original Rudy Van Gelder Blue Note Master Tapes!
The Definitive issue of this classic Blue Note title!
Throughout his career, Herbie Hancock has always pushed the boundaries, exploring a wide variety of music while bringing his flair to every setting. His Blue Note albums of the 1960s ranged from post bop to Latin jazz (he penned Watermelon Man), straight ahead to free form. Empyrean Isles, recorded when Hancock was 24 and a new member of the Miles Davis Quintet, features the pianist pushing at the boundaries of hard bop, creating fresh, new music. In a quartet with Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter and Tony Williams, Hancock shows that he was familiar with both avant-garde jazz and groovin' R&B. His four compositions include the original and most exciting version of Cantaloupe Island and the swingingly unpredictable One Finger Snap. Empyrean Isles brims with the power and adventure of the best 1960s Jazz, pushing ahead into uncharted territory.

 Radio Music Society
Esperanza Spalding
$29.99
Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed

It has not taken Esperanza Spalding long to emerge as one of the brightest lights in the musical world. Listeners familiar with her stunning 2008 debut, Esperanza, and her best-selling 2010 release, Chamber Music Society, were well aware that the young bassist, vocalist and composer from Portland, OR is the real deal, with a unique style-spanning presence, deeply rooted in jazz yet destined to make her mark far beyond the jazz realm. That judgement was confirmed in February of 2011 when Spalding became the first jazz musician to receive the Grammy Award for 'Best New Artist.'
Radio Music Society is her most diverse, ambitious and masterful recital yet. The set is a companion, rather than a sequel, to Spalding's previous release, which reached #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart. "Originally I thought it would be fun to release a double album," she explains, "One disc with an intimate, subtle exploration of chamber works and a second one in which jazz musicians explore song forms and melodies that are formatted more along the lines of what we would categorize as 'pop songs.' Those are the two things that really interest me, and it intrigues me to think about different presentation approaches while writing each kind of song. On the pop song side, I think about listeners who aren't into jazz, but I also think about the people within my musical community who can interpret each idea best."
"Radio Song," the album's opening track, both sets the tone and confirms the aptness of Spalding's 'radio music' metaphor. "Everyone has the experience of turning on a car radio," she explains,"mindlessly flipping through the dial and suddenly a fragment grabs you and you're totally digging it. I wanted to capture that moment when the music just sinks in. It's about the power of song, and how at the least it can save the day."
Songs about love run also run the gamut on Radio Music Society. "Hold On Me" is a narrative of unrequited love, inspired by people who cling to dreams of relationships that can never be realized. "Let Her," one of Spalding's older compositions, was inspired by "different people I've known who are in miserable situations, then complain when they end." "Cinnamon Tree," written to cheer up a friend, celebrates platonic love, and Spalding's belief that "the love between friends is just as important as romantic love." "Crowned and Kissed," with references to King Arthur and Midas, is about "the unsung royalty in your life, men and women who quietly, every day do the most honorable things, and who deserve to be honored even if they don't end up with castles and thrones." The edgy "Smile Like That" marks the moment a person realizes that his or her partner has developed other interests.
Among its many strengths, Radio Music Society is a celebration of the men and women who have helped cultivate Spalding's talent, as well as those who have nurtured her vision and inspired her along the way. "I've had the honor and blessing of working with so many phenomenal jazz musicians over the years," she says. "As I've gotten to know them and their music, I've grown to love them as family and colleagues. I wished for an opportunity for us all to interpret songs together, so that they can be heard and received by a larger audience."
That music is realized by many of the brilliant musicians who are part of Spalding's ever-expanding universe. In addition to longtime partners Joe Lovano, keyboard player Leo Genovese and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, the album contains contributions from jazz legends Jack DeJohnette and Billy Hart; guitar heroes Jef Lee Johnson and Lionel Loueke; an array of master vocalists including Algebra Blessett, Lalah Hathaway, Gretchen Parlato, Leni Stern and Becca Stevens; hip-hop giant Q-Tip (who performs on and co-produced two tracks); and two Portland-based musicians, Janice Scroggins and Dr. Thara Memory, who provided essential mentorship in Spalding's youth.

The Definitive issue of this classic Blue Note title!
A Young Lion of hard bop in the 1950s, altoist Jackie McLean became one of the most forward-thinking of the veterans in the 1960s. His sharp sound, passionate tone and advanced ideas combined with a strong musical curiosity that led him to explore freer sounds. One Step Beyond (1963) is one of his greatest triumphs on record. Inspired by Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane but playing very much in his own emotional style, McLean excels while interacting with the younger musicians on this remarkable set. Vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson makes a piano redundant, Tony Williams shows that he was already strikingly original at this early stage. Trombonist Grachan Moncur III matches McLean's passion. Especially on Frankenstein and Ghost Town, McLean creates otherworldly music that still sounds powerful and provocative nearly 50 years later.

Stanley Turrentine had one of the most soulful and immediately recognizable sounds in Jazz. With a mere two notes, the great tenor could be instantly identified: every sound he made was overflowing with his own brand of soul. Look Out! (1960) features Turrentine at the beginning, on his first Blue Note album, when he was just 26. Having worked with R&B bands and with Max Roach, Mr. T was more than ready. On Look Out!, he plays bop, ballads and funk with intensity and passion. But it really doesnt matter what song Turrentine plays; he turns everything into the blues, bending notes with his huge sound and playing straight from the heart. Look Out! was the record that launched Stanley Turrentine and made him a big star.

Madonna
$39.99 $29.99

“There’s only one queen and that’s Madonna, bitch,” boasts Nicki Minaj. Nicki's impassioned proclamation at the close of MDNA's stomping anthem "I Don't Give A..." could not be more sharply on-point. After nearly 30 years of making music, no one has come close to matching the impact of Madonna. She is truly peerless, ever-evolving and experimenting with sounds that continually set the pace for global popular music. Madonna's unwavering commitment to her craft has translated into sales of over 200 million albums worldwide, not to mention record-breaking tours that raise the bar for creativity.
With MDNA, she breaks innovative new ground with songs that explode with ferocious rhythmic energy, while also offering the kind of irresistible pop melodies that are the hallmark of her classic compositions. Since pre-release sales orders began exclusively on iTunes worldwide, the album has reached #1 on the store's charts in 50 countries and became the largest one-day pre-order of any album in iTunes history.
MDNA opens with "Girl Gone Wild," an anthemic collaboration with Italian club wunderkind Benny Benassi. Amid a frenetic collision of beats and keyboards, Madonna sets the tone for an album that she vividly characterizes as having the intensity of a "caged animal." From there, the listener is taken on the heart-racing, reckless joyride "Gang Bang," a reunion with Ray of Light collaborator William Orbit. At the first ominous, bass-soaked thump of the beat, it's clear that Madonna and Orbit are navigating previously unchartered musical territory. The unapologetic, foreboding tone of anger in her vocal builds to the point of violent mania. And just when you think she couldn't go any further, she does. This is Madonna at her most primal and animalistic.
There is no denying the kinetic chemistry that Madonna shares with Orbit, as exemplified by their additional MDNA creations. "Some Girls" exudes an almost masculine funk swagger, while "I'm A Sinner" shows the pair indulging in jangly guitars and retro-splashed pop percussion. It is also with Orbit that Madonna has created her most delicate compositions, most notably the deliciously romantic "Falling Free," and the gently percussive "Masterpiece," which won a 2012 Golden Globe Award for its inclusion in her motion picture directorial debut, W.E.
In contrast to Madonna's pensive moments with Orbit on MDNA are flourishes of spectacular joy with Benassi. It is during their dancefloor-friendly tracks that longtime aficionados of the artist's pure-pop efforts will experience absolute bliss. He brings out her cheeky, playful side on "I'm Addicted," which reveals its massive pop-hit potential in its booming bassline and its meticulous, infectious chorus chant.
Of the collaborations Madonna explores throughout this project, the results of her time with French DJ/producer Martin Solveig are the most unexpectedly intriguing. Their shared affinity for film and art imagery is unmistakable in their lyrics, drawing an ear-tickling contrast with the sweet, often varied tones of their music. "Turn On The Radio" has a charming, earnest quality, while the top-10 hit "Give Me All Your Luvin'" has a sexy, surf-rock vibe that conjures images of sunshine within its first few instrumental bars.
Perhaps most powerful of Madonna and Solveig's tracks is the reflective "I Don't Give A...," during which she ruminates on the necessary end to a relationship with brutally sensitive prose like "I tried to be a good girl. I tried to be a wife. Diminished myself. I swallowed my light." It's a startlingly beautiful, delicate moment that evolves into a climax of extraordinary empowerment.
MDNA is unequivocal proof that Madonna continues to be the world's most inventive musical artist. Her desire to bring bold new ideas to the mainstream is unparalleled. No doubt, this will be illustrated in a worldwide concert trek that will show the artist shattering the boundaries of a traditional stage show. Madonna understands and respects the simple purity of pop music, while thriving on the belief that people are as smart and hungry for truth and art as she is. It is that belief that will undeniably keep Madonna creating more inspired and inspiring music for years to come.

When Wayne Shorter first emerged in the late 1950s, he was originally thought of as a John Coltrane-influenced tenor-saxophonist. It quickly became apparent that, though Shorter shared some influences with 'Trane, he was a true original. His solos and compositions were so personal and unique that it became impossible to trace them back to any historical predecessors. His music defied any classification, falling into an undisclosed location between hard bop and the avant garde; connected to jazz but existing in its own musical world. Adam's Apple (1966) features Shorter at the top of his game. The album introduces the saxophonist's best known composition, Footprints, an abstract tribute to John Coltrane, Chief Crazy Horse and a haunting ballad, Teru. With Wayne Shorter cementing a musical friendship/partnership with Herbie Hancock that continues to this day, he creates a masterpiece that ranks among a handful of superb albums from the mid-1960s.

 Marley Original Soundtrack
Bob Marley
$34.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 3 LPs Sealed

The Third World's first superstar and arguably the most recognizable human being on the planet, reggae giant Bob Marley is celebrated in a film by award-winning director Kevin MacDonald ('One Day In September', 'State of Play', 'The Last King of Scotland', 'Touching the Void' and 'Life In a Day'). 'Marley, which tells the definitive story of the superstar who rose from the ghetto to become one of the greats of popular music before dying tragically young at the height of his fame, 'received a rapturous reception at its premiere at the Berlin Film Festival on February 12, 2012.
Bob Marley was born February 6, 1945 in rural St. Ann's Parish, Jamaica, leaving home at 14 to pursue a music career in Kingston. A naturally gifted musician and singer he recorded his first track in 1962. In '72 finding himself stranded in London with his band the Wailers he signed to Chris Blackwell's Island Records and went on to enjoy global success and to put reggae on the music map. Many of his songs - which highlighted both Jamaica's poverty and the spirituality of its people - have since become universal anthems. Bob Marley died of cancer on May 11, 1981 at the age of 36.
Says Kevin MacDonald, "Marley the film is an intimate, human portrait of the legendary singer. But as with any film about an artist - the main purpose has got to be to send the listener back to the music with a renewed appreciation for its beauty and significance. That's why I am so happy that Island are releasing this special collection of songs from and inspired by the movie."
Says Chris Blackwell, "Kevin MacDonald has made a wonderful film about Marley. I think it will touch the hearts of many. It tells Bob's story properly for the first time and you get a real sense of the man and his incredible talent. His spiritual message is as relevant now as it ever was and his music still resonates around the world."
The soundtrack to "Marley" includes, for the first time on record, the 1978 One Love Peace concert performance of 'Jammin' during which Marley joined the hands of bitter political rivals Michael Manley and Edward Seaga, a gesture which went some way towards restoring peace to a strife-torn Jamaica. The tracklisting of the soundtrack follows the chronology of the film.

 Crown Of Creation
Jefferson Airplane
$19.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed

In their late-60s heyday, the Jefferson Airplane embodied the eras revolutionary attitude and experimental spirit like no other rock act. Their unique combination of adventurous musicianship, visionary lyrics and personal charisma defined San Francisco psychedelia and established the band as quintessential Aquarian-age messengers.
Released in the Fall of 1968, Crown of Creation found the ever-evolving Airplane moving towards a heavier, more concise approach on such tunes as Greasy Heart, In Time, If You Feel and the soaring title number. The bands folk-rock roots are reflected on Slicks whimsical Lather and the David Crosby penned Triad, and the album culminates in grand style with The House at Pooneil Corners, one of the Airplanes most epic excursions. The resulting album vividly captures the spirit of its time, and stands as a powerful testament to Jefferson Airplanes musical brilliance.
As part of Sundazed's ongoing mission to present classic LPs in all their original sonic and visual glory, the first generation stereo masters were sourced and the cover art was meticulously reproduced.

Mastered by Joe Reagoso and Kevin Gray from the Original RCA Records Tapes
Elvis Aaron Presley was born during the great depression into a poor family in Mississippi. They moved to Memphis during the early '50s, and as a struggling young truck driver, he cut some demos at Sun Studios as a gift for his beloved mother Gladys. These initial songs, of which he had only paid a few dollars to record, would become the catalyst that would kick-start the career of a soon to be worldwide superstar unlike the world has ever known.
Elvis had the amazing ability to sing both R&B and country simultaneously. This with the persona and choreography of a Hollywood movie star on stage, the young Elvis Presley was soon touring, and over the year achieved a number of regional hit singles, electrifying audiences into frenzies wherever he performed.
The folks at RCA Victor knew that this young fellow named Elvis was destined for superstardom. They quickly bought out his contract and signed the legend to a long term deal, and his first RCA single "Heartbreak Hotel" forever etched 'The King Of Rock And Roll' trademark to his name. In 1956 after a chart topping debut LP, his second smash #1 album simply called Elvis truly proved once again that his career was unlike any other in music history.
Filled with more energy than a fireball, the Elvis album took off with the Little Richard classic rocker "Rip It Up." Another chart topping single followed with the much revered "Love Me," a song which he would perform well into the '70s. The album also featured more smash hits like the Otis Blackwell/Elvis Presley rocker "Paralyzed," a blues belter Arthur Crudup revisit with Elvis interpretation of "So Glad Youre Mine," and Red Foleys tender ballad about mans best friend "Old Shep." In total, the album showcases twelve important Elvis Presley recordings which have truly stood the test of time.
In honor of the Man, the Music, the Legend, the 'King Of Rock And Roll', Friday Music is very proud and honored to announce the first time 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl release of the RCA Victor classic Elvis by Elvis Presley. As a first installment in their exciting Elvis Presley 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Series, they are very pleased to present this masterwork in all its high fidelity glory.

 Slipstream
Bonnie Raitt
$20.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Bonnie Raitt's new album Slipstream is daring, bluesy and steeped with the inimitable slide guitar and soulful vocals that could only be hers. Slipstream marks her first new release in seven years, and the debut for her newly minted label, Redwing Records.
While most of Slipstream is self-produced and features Raitt's longtime touring band, four of the album's songs were helmed by celebrated producer Joe Henry (Allen Toussaint, Solomon Burke) and showcase his unusual crew of extraordinary musicians. Additional guests include Bill Frisell, Al Anderson (NRBQ), Ireland's Paul Brady and Maia Sharp.
The album's 12-tracks feature Raitt's renditions of songs by such luminaries as Bob Dylan, Joe Henry and Loudon Wainwright III. An updated, reggae-fied version of Gerry Rafferty's "Right Down the Line" leads the charge here as the album's first single.
Track Listing:
1. Used to Rule the World
2. Right Down the Line
3. Million Miles
4. You Can't Fail Me Now
5. Down To You
6. Take My Love With You
7. Not Cause I Wanted To

Sonic Sensation: Cut from the Original Analog Master Tapes at Bernie Grundman Mastering
1975 Set Fleetwood Mac's Commercial and Creative Breakthrough: 1st Album With Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham
Includes Hits "Over My Head," "Rhiannon," "Say You Love Me" and Staples "Landslide" and "Monday Morning"
Don't Pass Up One of the Most Essential Rock-Pop Albums Ever Recorded on this Stellar-Sounding Pressing
The Chain, for all intents and purposes, starts here. Few, if any bands in history, experienced a rebirth on par with that of Fleetwood Mac, which partially accounts for why this 1975 set is self-titled. With the addition of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham finally solidifying the ensemble's rotating lineup, the record signifies a new beginning, a rejuvenated sound, and a melodic purpose that quickly helped the co-ed group become the biggest band in the world.
Recorded in three months and aided by a surfeit of material brought to the fold by Nicks and Buckingham, Fleetwood Mac is a monster album, a five-million-plus-selling effort that set a new record for the amount of weeks spent on the Billboard charts before finally hitting number one and the home to Top 40 singles "Over My Head," "Rhiannon," and "Say You Love Me." Moreover, it marks the introduction to the chemistry, interplay, and connectivity established by a quintet whose singing, songwriting, and harmonizing abilities at the time hadn't a peer.
The first of three consecutive landmark Fleetwood Mac recordings, this refreshing rock-pop landmark opened the floodgates of commercial success, crossing over to both AM and FM radio and steadily winning coverts all across the world. The reasons relate to the impeccable selection of songs and heartfelt performances, whether it's Nicks' unforgettable reflectiveness on "Landslide," Buckingham's warm pleas on "Say You Love Me," or the cozy romp of "Monday Morning," fittingly a lead-off number that related to the emotional games and pain that would characterize so much of the band's iconic work.
Cut at Bernie Grundman Mastering from the original analog tapes, this version presents the music in the absolute best fidelity it's ever (and ever will) enjoyed on a standard-speed vinyl record. As realistic, dynamic, wide-open, organic, and airy as the critically acclaimed pressing of Rumours, it portrays the fingerpicked acoustic guitars, swelling choral voices, jazzy percussion, and every last breath of the lead singing turns with heavenly clarity.
Nostalgia for albums recorded in the mid-70s will immediately come to light, as this pressing simply glows and presents the listeners with scads of information that even those that have heard this masterpiece hundreds of times have never noticed.

1. Monday Morning
2. Warm Ways

 New Multitudes
Farrar, James, Johnson, & Parker
$19.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
New Multitudes is an intimate interpretation of American icon and musical legend Woody Guthries previously unrecorded lyrics from a dream team of Americana torchbearers: Jay Farrar (Son Volt), Will Johnson (Centro-matic), Anders Parker (Varnaline) and Jim James (My Morning Jacket). What makes this album such a rarity in todays music world is the allowance of the songs infectious simplicity to stand alone in all their glory. In doing so, Farrar, Johnson, Parker and James, pay the greatest compliment to Woody Guthrie and the collaborative spirit he so greatly embodied. This is an album which seamlessly converges the sepia-toned essence of the time honored past with the risks needed to forge the future.
Under the invitation of Nora Guthrie, Woody's daughter, to tour the Guthrie archives, each of the four songwriters were offered the chance to plumb and mine the plethora of notebooks, scratch pads, napkins, etc. for anything that might inspire them to lend their voices and give the words new life.
"These guys worked on an amazing group of lyrics" says Nora. "Much of it was culled from Woody's times in L.A. Lyric wise, it's a part of the story that is still mostly unknown. From Woody's experiences on L.A.'s skid row to his later years in Topanga Canyon, they are uniquely intimate, and relate two distinctly emotional periods in his life."
Musically, it is the sense of collaboration that makes New Multitudes not just another trite and traditional acoustic regurgitation of back porch blues. From the ragged jangle of its opening track, "Hoping Machine," the loping lilt of "Fly High," the floorboard stomp of "No Fear," to the lush warmth and sudden sonic gut punch of "My Revolutionary Mind," the cohorts deliver a lesson in discovering a song's sweet spot time and time again. It's the function and preparedness of each artist's dogged work ethic gleaned the old-fashion way; veracious songs, road weary odometers and sweat stained live shows, all attributes of the man they are honoring.

FANTASTIC 180 GRAM WHITE VINYL REISSUE OF ACCEPT'S FIFTH ALBUM
European label Lark Records released the album in December 1983, but its US release was delayed until a month later as to not compete with the band's then-current album Restless and Wild, which had arrived in the US in early 1983.
It is the band's best known and highest-selling album, selling about two million copies worldwide, and is Accept's only record to attain Gold certification in America.
The album's lead single, "Balls to the Wall", became Accept's signature tune and remains a metal anthem and trademark in the genre.
Critic Martin Popoff has declared Balls to the Wall the greatest metal album of the 1980s, praising the combination of smooth production, powerful guitar riffs and strong melodies that are found throughout the record.

 Break It Yourself
Andrew Bird
$74.99
Vinyl LP + CD + DVD Box Set - 2 LPs Sealed
|
Break It Yourself is the highly anticipated follow-up release to Andrew Bird's 2009 album Noble Beast. Produced at his own Western Illinois barn-turned-studio, the sessions for the album featured a mix of distilled, grounded songs and some wild soloing with fine support from long-term collaborator Martin Dosh on drums, Jeremy Ylvisaker on guitar and Mike Lewis on bass. The 14-song set includes cuts as the steel-drum heavy Danse Caribe, the instrumental Behind the Barn and the lush, eight-minute Hole in the Ocean Floor among others.
We had our front of house engineer Neal Jensen bring his old Tascam 8-track tape machine and Yamaha board (nothing fancy) out to my barn, Bird said about the recording. We rolled tape as we were learning the songs and to our surprise we started nailing the songs by the second take. I think we got a rough, unfussy honesty in this session.
In addition to versions of the album on 2LP and CD, this super deluxe collectible vinyl box also includes the short film Here's What Happened on DVD featuring live performances, the creation of the album and a rare look into Birds' private studio.

 Stoned And Dethroned
The Jesus and Mary Chain
$19.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Previously known for feedback-drenched pop songs and gothic surf/blues storms, The Jesus & Mary Chain followed a successful year of touring in 1992 (including a slot on the second Lollapalooza tour) by entering the studio to record an acoustic album. The sessions were the first time that principal members Jim and William Reid had embarked on a recording with a full band since their incendiary debut, but the results could not have been different.
Though the hooks were still there, Stoned & Dethroned emerged with a calmer, almost folk/country-tinged sound. Any feedback appears as hazy atmospherics rather than pain-inducing squeals. The sound of the album nobly approximates the drugged swagger of the classic early-70s Rolling Stones records, but with The Jesus & Mary Chains uniquely foreboding lyrical perspective.
The albums first single, Sometimes Always featuring Mazzy Stars Hope Sandoval, was an MTV and modern rock radio hit. The song updated the Lee & Nancy/Porter & Dolly duet mold with a catchy hook and ringing guitar lead. It became an instant classic. It was also no coincidence that the sonics of Stoned & Dethroned resembled those of Mazzy Stars electric/acoustic psych hybrid. Sandoval and the elder Reid were a couple at the time of its recording and he was obviously feeling the pull of the West Coast vibes. Another guest vocalist, The Pogues Shane MacGowan, provides the anguished lead on the stellar God Help Me.
The Jesus & Mary Chain picked the perfect time to make this record. Their sonic assaults and industrial pop couldve only taken them so far. Proving that they were capable of making more intuitive and subtle art, Stoned & Dethroned positions the underlying desperation of the Reids music in a different light.

 I Speak Because I Can
Laura Marling
$18.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
Ribbon Music is pleased to announce deluxe re-issues of Laura Marlings first two critically acclaimed albums; Alas I Cannot Swim and I Speak Because I Can on LP. I Speak Because I Can was the self assured second album from the young British singer/songwriter, originally released in 2010. The album was produced by Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Rufus Wainwright) and featured backing vocals from Marcus Mumford (Mumford & Sons).
Since her emergence onto the London music scene in 2007 Laura Marling has steadily secured her position as one of the most exciting musical talents of her generation. By the tender age of 21 she has already won a BRIT award and been nominated for the UK Mercury Music prize twice. While so many artists of any age attempt to locate their inner child, Marling with a sometime steely gaze, measures the prerogatives of youth against the looming realities of adulthood, the specter of mortality, the betrayals of love, the balm of sex, the yearning for companionship, the need for independence. As the Times Of London recently posited, Who else is making music as ambitious, as haunting, as centuries-straddling, as thought provoking and artistically tenacious as this? And the answer is: nobody. No, really. Not a soul.
Marling, who started out, briefly but auspiciously, with a stint in the group Noah and the Whale, was a mere 16 when she independently released her first singles and almost immediately gained serious stature as a key figure on Britains burgeoning young folk scene, alongside such artists and friends as singer/actor Johnny Flynn and Mumford & Sons. The two startlingly self-assured albums that followed, Alas I Cannot Swim (2008) and I Speak Because I Can (2010), brought the self-effacing and relatively shy Marling an extraordinary level of acclaim in her homeland, with each of them in turn being nominated for the U.K.s prestigious Mercury Prize. Remastered on 180g vinyl with deluxe gatefold packaging and MP3 download code.

Lake Placid, NY native Lana Del Rey is a throwback singer/songwriter whose stage name combines that of the late Hollywood actress Lana Turner and the Ford Del Rey. Pop's newest femme fatale calls herself the "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and cites Kurt Cobain, Thomas Newman and Bruce Springsteen as musical influences. She released an EP entitled Kill Kill in 2009 under the name Lizzy Grant and also recorded a full-length album on an independent label with producer David Kahne, which was released for a brief time before it was pulled due to lack of label support. Born To Die is her highly anticipated official debut release on Interscope Records featuring the viral firestorm hits "Video Games" and "Blue Jeans." Her much talked about appearance on Saturday Night Live on January 15, 2012 marked the first artist since Natalie Imbruglia in 1998 to perform before the release of her debut album.

 Wreck
Unsane
$14.99
Vinyl LP - Sealed
|
New York City noise-rock gods Unsane return with a vengeance on their long-awaited seventh album, Wreck. Recorded by the band and producer Andrew Schneider at Brooklyns Translator Audio (Shrinebuilder, Keelhaul, etc.), Wreck is an unfettered burst of pent-up emotions and frustrations channeled into song, an unflinching glance into a type of life others probably should not lead.
From the shock and awe of lead track Rat and the stunningly damaged Decay, to the doom and gloom of the heavy-handed No Chance and the transcendental brainwork of Stuck, Wreck is darkly abrasive and poetic music delivered with a fearsome intensity. A punishing yet ultimately tuneful album, realistic in subject matter and as engaging as it is abrasive, Wreck showcases Unsane at their legendary best.
Chris Spencers vocals and lyrics positively ache with fear and loathing while his searing Telecaster howls and pulverizing chords wreak havoc over Vincent Signorellis thundering drums and Dave Currans muscular, thick-as-lava bass lines. Unsane celebrates its 20th anniversary by delivering the darkest and most personal record of their celebrated career; Wreck is the bands defining moment.

2. Decay
3. No Chance
4. Pigeon

Nightclub, vocalist/pianist Patricia Barbers first of standards was a long time coming. From the very beginning of her brilliant 20-year career, devoted fans, including her own mother, had been begging Patricia to dedicate a record to standards. "These songs have always been a part of my repertoire and are a big part of who I am but I wanted to try and define myself in a different way before making a record like this," said Barber in September of 2000 when Nightclub was first released.
It was, and is, hard to argue with her approach. Accompanied by an all-star cast of supporting musicians, Barber delivered an album Time called devastating. Highlights include her stunning version of "Yesterdays," the rarely recorded vocal version of "Invitation," and an achingly beautiful take on So In Love from the songbook of Barbers songwriting idol, Cole Porter. A multiple Stereophile R2D4 winner recorded by Jim Anderson, Nightclub is the American popular songbook given new life by one of the most expressive voices in contemporary music.

1. Bye, Bye Blackbird
