Pepe Romero Flamenco 180g Direct Metal Master Import 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;b & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt;Audiophile 180g Vinyl Direct Metal Master Double LP! & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Pallas in Germany! & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the Original Masters of Universal Music! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Guitarist Pepe Romero is joined by vocalist Chano Lobato as well as the dancers Maria Magdalena and Paco Romero providing percussive sounds of the dance itself bringing another dimension to the music. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;A strictly traditional flamenco record, Pepe Romero's 1987 recording Flamenco! features not only his own sterling guitar work, but also singer Chano Lobato's expressive vocals and, in an inspired touch that not enough flamenco artists have thought of, two genuine flamenco dancers, Maria Magdalena and Paco Romero. Flamenco, after all, is dance music, and as in some forms of English contra dancing, Appalachian clog dancing, and other forms of folk music, the percussive sound of the dancers' shoes (and the female dancer's traditional castanets) is intended as part of the music. As a result, Flamenco! has a vitality and excitement often missing from classical flamenco records, which can sometimes come off as a bit stuffy and overly serious. Lobato's voice, a dusky alto with a beautifully controlled vibrato, suits the material perfectly, capturing the florid theatricality of flamenco music without going over the top. There are undoubtedly better flamenco records than this, but there are few that are as much fun. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;- allmusicguide & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Double LP & lt;br & gt; Audiophile 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Audiophile analogue direct metal mastering by Hans-Jorg Mauksch & lt;br & gt; Cutting to copperplate at Pauler Acoustics & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Pallas GmbH Germany & lt;br & gt; Mastered from the Original Masters of Universal Music & lt;br & gt; Analogphonic Release & lt;br & gt; Very first 2LP set release for enhanced sound reproduction & lt;br & gt; Import & lt;br & gt; Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Pepe Romero, guitar & lt;br & gt; Chano Lobato, vocals & lt;br & gt; Maria Magdalena, dancer & lt;br & gt; Paco Romero, dancer & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

This truly is a no-expenses-spared project, resulting in the ultimate version of this title. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In what some consider his last great album prior to his tragic passing, Nat & quot;King & quot; Cole approached the dramatic dark side of love in the spirit of Sinatra's saloon songs to timeless, haunting effect with the album Where Did Everyone Go? The distinctive orchestrations of Gordon Jenkins for strings accompany the intimately expressive and supremely musical voice of the incomparable Nat & quot;King & quot; Cole in such classic songs as & quot;Someone To Tell It To, & quot; & quot;I Keep Going Back To Joe's, & quot; & quot;Spring Is Here, & quot; & quot;The End Of A Love Affair & quot; and other reflections of one who had and now has not. Nat & quot;King & quot; Cole and arranger Gordon Jenkins followed their hit albums Love Is The Thing and The Very Thought Of You with this striking shift toward the dramatic. The result again stands among its era's finest, most stylistically defining recordings of popular music and still retains its grand sense of tragedy and beauty. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Using the original first generation 3-track session tapes from Capitol's vaults and all-analogue systems including custom headstacks, 3-track preview heads, console and monitoring chain installed at AcousTech specially for these releases, mastering engineers Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman realize the stunning beauty of these recordings. Two bonus tracks recorded for the album, & quot;A Farewell to Arms & quot; and & quot;Happy New Year, & quot; are included in this double 45-RPM 180-gram album set for their first release in original production quality. Included with this deluxe reissue is a striking six-panel booklet complete with rare photos, a 3,200-word essay by Chris Hall on the album and a 1,200-word essay by Michael Fremer about the remastering process. This truly is a no-expenses-spared project, resulting in the ultimate version of this title and a historic reissue. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Originally released in 1963. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;[P]erfect sound quality, breathtaking arrangements, tasteful material and that voice. Aaah! That voice! It delivered so much, and was so inimitable that Cole could use it to make any song his own...

Talk about up to audiophile standards! The immediacy, the dynamics - slam and delicacy alike - are just so startlingly real. There's nothing lost. It's positively lifelike. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Cutting engineer Kevin Gray, using Blue Heaven's Neumann VMS 70 lathe with an Ortofon cutter head and amplifiers, and recording engineer Katsu Naito have made available for your playback the closest thing possible to a live, in-person performance. With direct-to-disc recording, the signal from the microphone is transmitted directly to the cutter head, which then cuts the grooves into a raw lacquer. There's no middleman. No tape. No tape hiss. No distortion or other artifacts inherent in any other type of recording. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; And the music? It's killer! The session was recorded the weekend of the 12th annual Blues Masters at the Crossroads in October 2009. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Handy was born and raised as the oldest of seven children in St. Martinville, Louisiana, the parish seat of St. Martin Parish and right on the Bayou Teche. It's a rural town about 15 miles southeast of Lafayette and is generally considered the heart of the Creole and Cajun melting pot that makes this specific sub-region unique to anywhere else in the world. It's from right here that so much of the culture - the food, music, swamp life - that people associate with Louisiana comes. Like with many people from St. Martinville, Handy's heritage is Creole, meaning it's tangled. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Handy's earliest musical inspiration came from his father, who had an old accordion that he toyed with as nothing more than a pastime, and some cousins who were & quot;fooling around & quot; with music. & quot;I saw that, and I wanted to take it and be better, & quot; Handy says. & quot;The first thing I picked up was a guitar. And I took it from there. & quot; His first professional gig came on bass in a cousin's band. From there it was back to guitar and eventually accordion as a bandleader. In between, he played in the bands of Rockin' Dopsie for many years as well as in the very first incarnation of Buckwheat Zydeco just after Buckwheat had left Clifton Chenier. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; While he'd recorded previously as a bandleader, Handy's 2008 APO Records release Zydeco Feeling marked his first widely distributed release in 25 years. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Major Handy is one of Zydecos younger, more active performers, born in the heart of the Louisiana region that gave birth to the sound, and a veteran who played with Rockin Dopsie. Chad Kassems crew has captured the swing and the feel of the genre, while showcasing an instrument thats key to Zydeco but hardly an audiophile staple: the accordion. This six-track set is as undiluted as it gets, and it just might make you a convert. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News, Sound Quality Rating: 87% & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Direct To Disc (D2D) & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Wild Child Butler Sho' 'Nuff 180g 45rpm 2LP (Vinyl)
This item not eligible for any further discount offers!Standing on the stage like a tall barrel of beer, the stout and sturdy Wild Child Butler tapped his right foot, swung his hips and authoritatively snapped his fingers. Some musicians keep time subtly. Wild Child does it more obviously than a metronome. With everything, in fact, Wild Child shows his true colors without prompt. That same cold, October night, he alternated between blowing a furious blues harp and singing with such emotion that his face would give the meaning of each song to even the deaf. And he was wearing a green suit and looking good, without doubt - a sign of how unique this man is. As traditional as the blues on this album are, theres no mistaking a Wild Child tune. They cant be played this way by anyone else - not so boisterous, not so Wild Child. Perhaps its the syncopation. The way Wild Child punches certain syllables with either his harp or voice. His blues sometimes sound angry and raw, other times soft and country-polished. "Theyve always called mine the swamp sound," Wild Child said. "Its not too fast and not too slow. They calls it snapping blues. Everything is snappy. I was told from Willie Dixon that I had a way-out strange voice. He said he could hear it between Howlin Wolf and Lightnin Hopkins. He said aint nothing been around like that." Heres a man whose been heavily praised by Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf and Jimmy Rogers just to name a few; a man who those blues legends were proud to accompany. Hes joined by drummer Sam Lay, one of Wild Childs old running mates, and guitarist Jimmy D. Lane, the son of Rogers, one of Wild Childs closest friends. Bob Stroger, also from the old school, plays bass, and APO heavyweight Jimmie Lee Robinson sits in on acoustic guitar on "You Had Quit Me." Wild Child said the session brought back memories of his tours with Rogers and Lay. Just substitute Jimmy's. "Its Little Jimmy and Big Jimmy," Wild Child said of Rogers and his son Lane. "His father was Big Jimmy. The son is a big man, but I call him Little Jimmy. That boy kind of came up under me. I think hes scared Im gonna give him a spanking if he do wrong." This release offers a fine mix of Wild Childs down-home, acoustic sound, his slow, muscular blues and his up-tempo shuffle or "snapping blues." As Wild Child himself said, "If you cant dig these blues, you got a hole in your soul. "Talkin bout sho nuff." Selections: Side One: Open Up Baby, You Had To Quit Me; Side Two: I Got To Go (Sweet Daddy-O), Can You Use A Man Like Me?; Side Three: Moaning Morning, Slippin' In, Funky Things; Side Four: It's All Over, I Changed.

The session was recorded the weekend of the 12th annual Blues Masters at the Crossroads in October 2009. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Singer Howard Tate cracked the R & amp;B Top 20 three times in the late 1960s, left music and endured hardship and anonymity for nearly 30 years and beginning in the early 2000s returned to his rightful place as one of America's most revered soul performers. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In the mid-'60s, Garnet Mimms urged producer Jerry Ragovoy to check out Tate, and from 1966 to 1969 Tate and Ragovoy recorded about 10 singles, the first for the Utopia label, the rest for Verve. & quot;Ain't Nobody Home & quot; (1966), & quot;Look At Granny Run Run & quot; (1966) and & quot;Stop & quot; (1967), all written or co-written by Ragovoy, each charted R & amp;B Top 20. But to rock audiences, Tate was best known as the original performer of & quot;Get It While You Can, & quot; which became one of Janis Joplin's signature tunes. Tate's debut album, Get It While You Can, was released in 1966 to tremendous acclaim. Rolling Stone called the album & quot;a spectacular showcase of suave, muscular good-powered singing, heavily influenced by Sam Cooke, with a joyous, shrieking falsetto that became Tate's trademark. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Music luminaries have recognized and celebrated Tate's trademark voice throughout the years, with Elvis Costello calling him & quot;the missing link between Jackie Wilson and Al Green. & quot; Among the well-known musicians that have covered songs originally recorded by Tate are Joplin ( & quot;Get It While You Can & quot;), Jimi Hendrix ( & quot;Stop & quot;), Hugh Masekela ( & quot;Stop & quot;), B.B. King ( & quot;Ain't Nobody Home & quot;), Ry Cooder ( & quot;Look At Granny Run Run & quot;) and Grand Funk Railroad ( & quot;Look At Granny Run Run & quot;). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Chad Kassems efforts have resulted in a delicious live session... Tate reaches down to the soles of his shoes to deliver exquisite takes of two trademark songs from his classic Verve LP, Look At Granny Run Run and Aint Nobody Home, plus four others. The backing band is note-perfect for the session, the sound bordering on the cavernous. Best of all, over 40 years after his debut, the voice is intact. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News, Sound Quality Rating: 95% & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Direct To Disc (D2D) & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Bizet Carmen & L'Arlesienne 180g LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;180 Gram Virgin Vinyl! High Quality Pressing! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The 19th century suites with their collection of favorite songs and instrumental excerpts from operas are the clear forerunners of today's & quot;Best Of & quot; culture. The Carmen Suite was assembled after Bizet's death and brought the operatic masterpiece into the concert hall. The overture is fresh and rousing, the toreador theme marches in proudly and purposefully, followed by the destiny motif in the minor key which burns itself into ones ear and mind. With every bar it becomes obvious that this suite is not so much a series of excerpts but rather the true substance of its creator's musical ideas. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; All that remained of the five-act play L'Arlesienne after its unsuccessful premiere was Bizet's incidental music, which he himself orchestrated lavishly and premiered with success. Similar to Carmen, popular melodies are treated with the composer's own unique style to make them ageless, and Ernest Ansermet and his orchestra stages them delightfully for all eternity. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Ernest Ansermet is the most famous of Switzerland's conductors. For some years Professor of Mathematics at Lausanne University, he left this post to devote himself to music, studying composition under Ernest Bloch. He eventually concentrated on conducting and from 1915 - when he was already a personal friend of Stravinsky - was intermittently engaged with the Diaghilev Ballet. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Virgin Vinyl & lt;br & gt; High Quality Pressing & lt;br & gt; Pure Analogue Audiophile Mastering & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Orchestra de la Suisse Romande & lt;br & gt; Ernest Ansermet, conductor & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Georges Bizet (1838 - 1875) & lt;br & gt; Carmen Suite & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Four volumes (APLPD2D012, APLPD2D013, APLPD2D014, APLPD2D015) feels more like scratching the surface than scraping the bottom of the barrel. Dyer is most definitely prolific. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; And talented...unbelievably talented. His voice conjures thoughts of Al Green, Stevie Wonder or Sly Stone. His songwriting is deeply introspective and serious. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Dyer adds guitar and keyboards to his singing and is joined on these recordings by drums and backing vocals (Michael Hale) along with bass alternating with cello (Mark Williams). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Previous to his APO direct-to-disc recordings, Dyers released records for Fat Caddy Records and for a Lenny Kravitz-run Warner Bros. imprint called Roxie Records. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; From 2010 Direct To Disc Sessions & lt;br & gt; 200g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Quality Record Pressings & lt;br & gt; Recorded at Blue Heaven Studios & lt;br & gt; Cut by Kevin Gray & lt;br & gt; Engineered by Katsu Naito & lt;br & gt; Companion disc to APLPD2D012, APLPD2D013, & amp; APLPD2D015 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Sufjan Stevens Carrie & Lowell LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Vinyl LP Marks a Return to Stevens' Earlier Works! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Carrie & amp; Lowell is the seventh studio album by American musician Sufjan Stevens, released through Asthmatic Kitty on March 31, 2015. Unlike Stevens' last studio album, the electronic The Age of Adz, Carrie & amp; Lowell is sparsely instrumental and marks a return to the performer's indie folk roots. The album was released to high critical acclaim, with many critics calling it one of Stevens' best. Sufjan Stevens mixes autobiography, religious fantasy, and regional history to create folk songs of grand proportions. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Carrie & amp; Lowell sounds like memory: it spans decades yet does not trade on pastiche or nostalgia. Sufjan recounts the indignities of our world, of technological distraction and sad sex, of an age without neither myths nor miracle - and this time around, his voice carries the burden of wisdom. Carrie & amp; Lowell accomplishes the rare thing that any art should achieve, particularly in these noisy and fragmented days: By seeking to understand, Sufjan makes us feel less alone. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Carrie & amp; Lowell is the most harrowingly personal work Stevens has offered us to date; it also ranks with his most skillfully crafted albums despite its spartan approach, and it's a sometimes difficult but profoundly moving work. Stevens has offered us some fine albums in the past, but he's never made anything quite like Carrie & amp; Lowell. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; -Mark Deming, allmusic.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

John Fahey Days Have Gone By 180g LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;180g High Quality Vinyl! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Days Have Gone By continues Fahey's interest in soundscapes, sound effects and experimental music - begun on The Great San Bernardino Birthday Party & amp; Other Excursions - mixed in with more traditional guitar playing of his earlier musical style. Originally released in 1967. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...Informally known as John Fahey, Volume 6, its an album very much in the experimental vein that he first started tapping in the early 1960s. Placed alongside such rustic, straight picking fare as The Revolt of the Dyke Brigade and Joe Kirby Blues are pieces that make early use of splicing and sampling. Mixing in the sounds of locomotives and whippoorwills the two-part A Raga Called Pat is at once eerie and meditative. Faheys strummed passages intersperse with ambient effects creating the illusion of wild wide-open spaces. Tunes like the somber and centering My Shepherd Will Supply My Needs are tempered with streaks of hopeful lyricism. A contemplative air of the artist in his element taking sonic paint and to easel permeates each piece and the resulting whole ranks with Faheys other masterpieces of the period such as Death Chants, Breakdowns and Military Waltzes and The Voice of the Turtle. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - allaboutjazz.com, Derek Taylor, October 2001 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Talk about up to audiophile standards! The immediacy, the dynamics - slam and delicacy alike - are just so startlingly real. There's nothing lost. It's positively lifelike. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Roy Head is a kick ass, redneck, rock 'n' roll legend and a real bluesman. He achieved everlasting fame with his gigantic 1965 hit, & quot;Treat Her Right, & quot; which rocketed to No. 2 on both the pop and R & amp;B charts, falling behind only the Beatles' & quot;Yesterday. & quot; & quot;Treat Her Right & quot; produced by the legendary Huey Meaux and released on Don Robey's Back Beat label is estimated to have sold more than four million copies and has been covered by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Page. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Born in 1943 in Three Rivers, Texas, Head and his band of buddies, billing themselves as Roy Head and The Traits, scored their first record deal in 1958 with TNT Music in San Antonio while still in high school. The group released five records on TNT between 1958 and 1961. They had several regional hits before & quot;Treat Her Right, & quot; and Head became a talked-about entertainer with dance moves so wild and fancy he began drawing comparisons to James Brown. And he still brings it, gyrating like a man half his age and working his microphone like a yo-yo. Although Head was a white singer, he'd recorded a song in an R & amp;B style and thus became part of the mid-'60s blue-eyed soul movement that also included groups such as the Righteous Brothers and the Boxtops. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; After & quot;Treat Her Right, & quot; Head scored two more Top 40 hits with & quot;Just A Little Bit & quot; and & quot;Apple Of My Eye. & quot; He also landed a number of hits on the country charts between 1974 and 1985. Roy Head and the Traits were induced into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in 2007. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; From 2011 Direct To Disc Sessions & lt;br & gt; 200g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Cut by Kevin Gray & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Quality Record Pressings & lt;br & gt; Recorded at Blue Heaven Studios & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The Lumineers The Lumineers LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Debut Album! Grass-Roots, Heart-On-The-Sleeve Music! Mastered by Bob Ludwig! & lt;br & gt; #31 on Billboard's Overall Album Chart! & lt;br & gt; Features the Hit Single, & quot;Ho Hey & quot;!! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In 2011, an eponymous, self-recorded EP led to a tour, and before long The Lumineers started attracting devout fans, first across the Western US, then back in their old East Coast stomping grounds. Young, old and in-between, theyre drawn by songs like & lt;b & gt; & lt;/b & gt;Ho Hey & lt;b & gt; & lt;/b & gt; and Stubborn Love & lt;b & gt;, & lt;/b & gt; Americana-inflected barnburners in the vein of the & lt;b & gt;Avett Brothers & lt;/b & gt; and & lt;b & gt; Mumford & amp; Sons & lt;/b & gt;. Theyre drawn by songs like Slow it Down and Dead Sea, slow, sultry ballads that suggest the raw revelations of & lt;b & gt;Jeff Buckley & lt;/b & gt; and & lt;b & gt;Ryan Adams & lt;/b & gt;. Theyre drawn by the live Lumineers experiencea coming-together in musical solidarity against isolation, adversity, and despair. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The roots revival of the last few years has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve musicthe kind that nods to tradition while setting off into uncharted territory. The Lumineers walk that line with an unerring gift for timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics. Born out of sorrow, powered by passion, ripened by hard work, The Lumineers have found their sound when the world needs it most. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Newfound fans are falling in love at first listen with the band's homespun acoustic folk and powerful lyrics. The Lumineers' self-titled debut, released in April, reached No. 3 on the independent chart and No. 31 on Billboard's overall album chart... & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - USA Today & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;The Lumineers' members have a way of embedding fiery emotion into their music that's all their own. Rollicking, incandescent and reflective, it's music built on a foundation of classical training and roots-rock touring. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - NPR & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;'American Bandstand, electric guitar' frontman Wesley Schultz sings over handclaps in 'Big Parade,' which evokes the JFK era; 'Flapper Girl' is a piano ditty that conjures the days of prohibition. But the central concern is present-tense lust and heartache, which this spirited band translates into a fine drunk-clogging soundtrack. But on 'Slow It Down,' which does just that, you hear a deeper, more haunted sound, suggesting there's more here than meets the beer. & quot; & lt;/b & gt;- Will Hermes, Rolling Stone & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/zvCBSSwgtg4?rel=0 & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Wesley Schultz, guitar, lead vocals & lt;br & gt; Jeremiah Fraites, drums, vocals & lt;br & gt; Neyla Pekarek, cello, mandolin, piano, vocals & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; Debut Album & lt;br & gt; Mastered by Bob Ludwig & lt;br & gt; #31 on Billboard's overall album chart & lt;br & gt; VH1 You Oughta Know Artists On The Rise & lt;br & gt; Hit Single, & quot;Ho Hey & quot; & lt;br & gt; Similar in Sound to the Avett Brothers and Mumford & amp; Sons & lt;br & gt; Limited Time Album Download Included & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side I: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;p & gt;Cut at Sterling Sound directly from the original master tape. This was a straight transfer, bypassing the console altogether. There was no EQ of any kind. A true direct transfer, using a VMS 80, the most sophisticated lathe. You're hearing the master
tape! & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;What praises haven't been lauded the immortal singing talent of the late, great Patsy Cline? She died at the height of her career, at age 30, with two other stars of the Grand Ole Opry, and her manager, in a private plane crash near Camden, Tennessee,
on the group's return to Nashville from Kansas City. Before that ill-fated flight, though, she left a musical legacy as one of the most influential and successful female vocalists of the 20th Century. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;In the late 1950s and the '60s, country music was essentially a singles medium. This album, first released in 1967, collects a dozen of Patsy's biggest hits - all of them from the country singles market - including & quot;Walkin' After Midnight & quot;, & quot;Sweet Dreams
(Of You) & quot;, & quot;Crazy & quot; and & quot;I Fall To Pieces & quot;. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Producer Owen Bradley surrounds Cline's full-throated, emotionally charged vocals with lush, sophisticated arrangements that set the standard for Nashville's & quot;countrypolitan & quot; sound. And trust us, on this 200-gram QRP pressing, mastered by Sterling Sound,
Cline's seductive vocals have never sounded clearer or richer. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;And the packaging on this release is as deluxe as the audio. Analogue Productions has reissued this classic LP in a new deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket. Inside you'll enjoy a spread of vivid color studio publicity shots of Patsy, courtesy of the Universal
Music Archives. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Cline's life and career has been the subject of numerous books, movies, documentaries, articles and stage plays. She has sold millions of albums through the past 50 years, giving her an iconic fan status, similar to that of country artists such as Johnny
Cash and Dolly Parton. In 1992, the U.S. Postal Service honored her, along with Hank Williams, on a U.S. postage stamp. And in 1995 she was honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Cline was also honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame in 1999. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Before Shania Twain found a new (though not necessarily improved) way to combine country and pop in the 1990s, this was the top-selling country album of all time by a female artist. & lt;/p & gt;

Everything from the silent 200g pressing to the 'tip-on' (paper on cardboard) gatefold jacket and the center portfolio of great full color Patsy shots screams HIGH QUALITY. This reissue, from the AAA production, to the pressing and packaging quality epitomizes
the purpose of the current return to vinyl.

Ciao Bella! Italian Girl Singers of the 60s 180g LP (White Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;180g White Vinyl LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Connoisseurs of 1960s girl-pop have been well served in today's market, particularly those with a preference for American or British singers. Good music, of course, is not exclusive to the English-speaking world. Collections devoted to the female vocalists of France, Japan, Spain, and Germany are also available, but to the best of Ace Records' knowledge, their Italian counterparts have not been anthologized. If Ciao Bella!, released as a 12-track white vinyl LP in gatefold sleeve is the first of its kind, lets hope its not the last. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In a country known for its song festivals, most notably the prestigious event held annually in Sanremo, lushly orchestrated ballads have always been especially popular, and a few exceptional examples are featured here. The album opens, however, with a selection of uptempo titles. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The 12-track vinyl LP opens with Brunetta's prized dance floor-filler 'Baluba Shake' and closes with 'Pà Diglielo A Mà', a dramatic ballad by big-voiced Nada. The prolific Mina - queen bee of Italy's female singers - gets two tracks: folk rock nugget 'No' and 'Se Telefonando,' a sophisto-pop epic courtesy of maestro Ennio Morricone. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Other highlights include the sitar-embellished Il Mio Posto Qualè by Ornella Vanoni, a convincing cover of Baby Please Dont Go by beat girl Caterina Caselli, Gigliola Cinquettis superbly orchestrated Eurovision-winner Non Ho Letà (Per Amarti) and breathy-voiced actress Catherine Spaaks bossa-flavored La Notte È Fatta Per Rubare.' & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; White Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Gatefold Jacket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

This uncompromising interpretation of the First reveals the originality of the composers musical language & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Abbado uncovered the radical nature of the work with its fascinating accumulations of intensity and abrupt interruptions...Long and enthusiastic standing ovations at the end for the conductor and orchestra. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Die Welt & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;It is enchanting the way Abbado succeeds in revealing the Janus-faced character of the symphony...very pointed but highly elegant, in typical Abbado fashion, the pulsating, forward moving rhythms of the first movement, and truly dramatic the build-up to the first climax these set the parameters of this interpretation. The wonderful Adagio proceeded in a tremulous yet warm cantabile, while the energetic Scherzo, with its introverted Trio, mirrored the relationship of the two earlier movements. The Finale, then, is an almost volcanic explosion... & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - NZZ, Peter Hagmann & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Made in Germany & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Lucerne Festival Orchestra & lt;br & gt; Claudio Abbado, conductor & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) & lt;br & gt; Symphony No. 1 in C minor & lt;/b & gt; (Vienna version, 1891) & lt;br & gt; edited by Gunter Brosche & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

He doesnt always paint the prettiest pictures or offer a gleaming white smile, but he does reach down deep to remind us of our own humanity. Capps descends from the celebrated American Southern literary tradition and his songs deal with the South and the idiosyncrasies of its people, landscapes and tempos. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; His backing band, The Lost Cause Minstrels, comprises some of the finest players on todays Gulf Coast music scene, including Corky Hughes on guitar, Chris Spies on keys, Christian Grizzard on bass and John Milham on drums. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;...Grayson Capps is alive and well and slowly building one of the most phenomenal songbooks in America today. If ever there were a cat primed to pick up where Lowell George and John Prine have left off, its Capps. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; Jambase & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; From 2010 Direct To Disc Sessions & lt;br & gt; 200g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; Cut by Kevin Gray & lt;br & gt; Engineered by Katsu Naito & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Quality Record Pressings & lt;br & gt; Recorded at Blue Heaven Studios & lt;br & gt; Companion disc to APLPD2D018 & amp; APLPLD2D019 & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Many of the top musicians from the Sacred Steel gospel tradition arrived in town for the big gig, and here we have some of the finest: Calvin Cooke and Aubrey Ghent, backed by the Campbell Brothers. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Calvin is a surprising powerhouse with a cherubic smile. You'd never guess how much music he can make with his three-legged lap steel, and his unique tuning helps identify his sound immediately, among the dozens of steel players who began in the House of God church. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Aubrey takes over on the flip side. His hands fly and he literally makes his lap steel speak. Aubrey's sweet sound and serious expression mask his subtly building tempo and rising sound. He's a minister with a lineage that virtually demands he be a top notch player. His uncle and father were slide kings and thankfully, he has a son who is rumored to be the next generation superstar. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; From 2012 Direct To Disc Sessions & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; Cut by Kevin Gray & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Quality Record Pressings & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side One: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.
