The brand-new Live at the Cellar
Door, recorded in 1970 during a

JEFF BUCKLEY

FRANK SINATRA

Jeff Buckley was piecing together


a contemporary popular music
history for himself that was steeped
in the magic of singing, notes
Daphne A. Brooks in her book
on the late vocalist/guitarists
scintillating Grace. A debut that
keeps growing in stature, the
mystical album harnesses doowop, pop, rock, Indian, jazz, and
folk idioms and reshapes them
into an elegant aural concoction
that has no likeness. ORGs
reissues represent the first time
this otherworldly title has been
available on audiophile-vetted
pressings. Ethereal.

Overflowing with joyousness, vitality,


optimism, and finger-snapping
promise, Frank Sinatras 1956
collaboration with Nelson Riddle
is one of the greatest vocal pop
albums undertaken. A musical
fountain of youth, the material bursts
with confidence and enthusiasm.
Rendering the scope, scale, thrust,
and orchestral peaks-and-valleys
dynamicsnot to mention the
timbral richness and full extension of
Sinatras singingMobile Fidelitys
versions give you a directors chair to
the Hollywood sessions.

ARCADE FIRE

GREGORY PORTER

Affirming its the most edgy, daring,


and outright accessible band in
contemporary rock, Arcade Fire
dazzles on Reflektor. No wonder
the co-ed groups first album in
four years created an anticipatory
buzz that harkened to an era when
people lined up outside stores for
new records. Heard in analog, the
smart songwriting, bold textures,
forward-looking playing, and
miasma of traditional and futuristic
sounds on this shape-shifting set
intoxicate all five senses. This is a
record people will talk about for
years to come.

The packed audience at the


Chicago Jazz Festival wouldnt
let him leave the stage. He made
the cover of DownBeat magazine
a month before Liquid Spirit, his
staggering Blue Note debut, arrived.
The New York Times states he has
most of what you want in a male
jazz singer, and maybe a thing or
two you didnt know you wanted.
Indeed, Gregory Porter is the
real deala poignant songwriter,
expressive soul, gospel, blues, and
jazz singer, and rousing Grammynominated performer whose music
deserves your attention.

Liquid Spirit

If theres a stairway to heaven, Mobile


Fidelitys 45RPM 2LP and hybrid
SACD versions of Kind of Blue are

melodic improvisation and vamping,
the best-selling jazz album of all time
simplifies tonal organization and
chordal progression into an eminently
beautiful introspective tapestry. Meant
to be passed onto future generations,
these reference reissues possess
illuminating transparency, supreme
dynamics, and pointillist detail. The label
brings the same sonic excellence and
conservational commitment to many of
Davis other key albums, from Sketches
of Spain to My Funny Valentine. This

own a good stereo.

Scout 1.1 is high-end audiopure and simple. An
isolated motor to prevent vibration from getting

to the platter. A precision-machined aluminum/


steel platter running on an incredibly smooth
bearing. The amazing JMW-9T tonearm to extract
more from the grooves of your LPs. All you need
to do is add the cartridge of your choice (which
well happily install for you) and youll be spinning

collecting has paid off. You'll constantly be
discovering newfound musical elements in cuts
you thought you knew backwards and forwards,

whether recorded at Carnegie Hall, Capitol


Studios, Rudy Van Gelder's studio, Orchestra
Hall, Sound City, or Abbey Road. For those of you
that can afford to own a piece of musical art like
the Acutus, know that the rest of us are envious
and would love to pay you a visit. (Tonearm and

Enter the World of


High-End Analog

Ingenium plays vinyl with a tonal purity reserved for models that cost twice
as much. This form-follows-function turntables partly exposed bearing adds
distinctive style, while a tungsten carbide ball supports the same sapphire bearing
found on all AVID units. Massive steel crossbar construction and custom-designed
Sorbothane feet keep vibration away from the records surface, while the superb
Pro-Ject 9cc tonearm delivers musical magic. Ingenious.

AVID Sequel SP
A serious assault on cutting-edge analog playback.
The Sequel SP is a souped-up version of Volvere, and
transports the listener to within breathing distance of the
Acutus. Employs the same motor used by the Acutus for
significantly better control over the platter. Macro/micro
dynamics are noticeably improved, resulting in better
definition within the musical event. Sequel SP is topped
off with an external dedicated power supply featuring
state-of-the-art, split-phase quartz-locked technology
used for the Acutus. Finally, the Sequel SP adds a DSP
power supply and twin-belt pulley.

Michael Fremer, Stereophile

Diva II SP shares the same design philosophy


and key elements of AVID's more expensive
Volvere and Sequel designs, at a more
reasonable price point. By incorporating a twinbelt drive system and Vari-SPeed power supply,
the Diva II SP punches well above

its weight class. A new machined-aluminum


platter, improved main bearing, and specially
designed support feet that make this 'table
impervious to outside vibration. Remarkable
sound from AVID designer Conrad Mas.

AVID Cartridge Alignment Tools

AVID Level 45

AVID has developed a computer program


to calculate optimum cartridge alignment,
taking into account any tonearm's
geometry. The Universal Alignment Gauge
and specific tools for Rega, SME, and Linn
arms are 100% precise.

The Level 45 combines two handy devices:


a machined steel 45RPM adapter and a
precision bubble level. The level sits on top
of the 45RPM adapter for perfect center
leveling and weighs 180 grams, as if your
'table had a 180g LP on its surface.

value for the money. With a more modern
sonic signature than the original DL-103,

this low-output moving coil is faster and


more dynamic. Yet it still retains the smooth
sound, black backgrounds, and excellent bass
extension of the original. When we talk about
legendary high-value analog, this is it!

USB CABLES
EVERY BIT MATTERS
MINIMIZING SIGNAL LOSS
Weve said it before and well say it
again: Cables matter! No matter how you
package, store, or transfer your digital
audio, AudioQuest ensures the bitstream
of your favorite music stays true to its
original form. Whether USB, S/PDIF,

Ethernet, Firewire, Toslink, or HDMI are


used to move your music, potential for
signal loss exists. The audio inside any
digital files can easily be damaged. Trust
AudioQuest to minimize your loss and
increase your musical experience. We do.

S/PDIF & AES-EBU CABLES


S/PDIF & AES-EBU CABLES
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) made it possible to move
digital files. While S/PDIF (and its
professional counterpart, AES-EBU)
can move any size music file, youre
dealing with delicate connections.
AudioQuest offers a broad range of
high-performance cables.

VDM 1

USB CABLES
USB (Universal Serial Bus) has
become the most common way to
move computer audio into a DAC.
We have entered a new age of
high-resolution audio, sending large
file sizes (up to 24-bit/196k or even
DSD) over the connection. To ensure the least amount of signal loss,
AudioQuest designed five models
of USB cable, all proven to deliver
superior audio.

125 YEARS
OF MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS
After 125 years of industry-leading design,
Yamaha engineers have created the finest
audio electronics in their history. In celebration
of their storied past and to honor the future of
the high end, Yamaha has spared no expense
in the design of the A-S3000 Integrated
Amplifier and CD-S3000 SACD/CD Player and
DAC. Decades spent voicing audio circuits and
musical instruments led to the culmination of
these heirloom editions. Beautiful and elegant in
appearance, sturdy and reliable in construction,
and created with the latest innovations and true
craftsmanship, this new lineup will satisfy even the
most particular audiophile.

A-S3000 Integrated Amplifier $6,995

YAMAHA S3000 Series


The CD-S3000 SACD player is much more than
a simple disc spinner. This ultimate expression of
SACD technology and 21st century USB DAC circuitry
is pure state-of-the-art. A custom-built transport,
multiple copper-covered toroidal transformers,
and meticulous parts selection combine to form a
complete digital front-end. The A-S3000 amplifier
(left) is another triumph. From the 60-pound chassis
to the touch and feel of the knobs and switches, you
know this is no ordinary amp. From the gorgeously
lit VU meters to the fully balanced, dual-mono circuit
layout, the A-S3000 completes your hi-fi musical
journey. These musical instruments are the reason
audiophile hyperbole exists.

players didnt deliver the sonic goods.
Like many of us, you proudly owned an

old Yamaha amplifier that lasted you


about 20 years. It could have been a
longer relationship if you didnt give it to a
buddy. But its cool. Its still living a happy
life making music for someone. The new

that can drive any load, these sexy beasts


are just what the doctor ordered. The

Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 Bookshelf Speaker


What can we say about one of the best-selling values in high-end
audio? In a class by itself, 10.1 is comparable to speakers more than
twice its price. Thousands of audiophiles around the world have
unanimously voted it the best budget loudspeaker on the market.
So, well say this one more time: A smooth-sounding soft-dome
tweeter capable of extension to 30kHz, a rear-ported Kevlar woofer
for astounding bottom-end punch, incredible build-quality, and
availability in three gorgeous finishes. Buy a pair.

Invest an extra $100 and get a lifetime of better sound. The big

additional low-frequency response helps your music breathe. It

Sometimes you actually get what you pay

would be remiss not to audition the 10.7s. The

If you like your music to be clean, clear, and

especially since its priced for less than a grand.
These speakers bring out the micro-detail and
previously hidden musical cues in albums you
think you know backwards and forwards. Place

vertically integrate every aspect of loudspeaker
production, you control exactly how each and
every piece contributes to the overall whole.
And the proof is in the listening. The Diamond
10.4, at under $800, is one of the most naturalsounding tower speakers you will experience.
We encourage you to audition it for yourself. (33

Why buy a REL?


REL sub-bass systems do much more
than just deliver the last two octaves of
basssomething they do beautifully.
They also seamlessly integrate into your
system while perfectly complementing
the performance of your existing
loudspeakers. When you first add an
REL to your system, what youll hear will
seemingly defy logic. Surprisingly, high-

110

frequency and midrange presentations


smooth out and become much clearer,
and youll hear the soundstaging
dramatically open up. Your REL will
essentially disappear in your listening
space as it infuses your system with
a new sense of air and added realism
across the entire frequency spectrum.
Music Direct customers that previously

MUSICDIRECT.COM

swore off subwoofers tell us time and


time again that they could have never
anticipated the dramatic improvements
made possible by the addition of a REL.
Take our REL System Challenge. In your
home. In your system. And if your REL
does not leave you with your jaw on the
floor, well take it back.

SHUNYATA:
WHY THE FIRST SIX FEET OF
POWER CABLE MATTERS

THE VENOM SERIES:


SHUNYATA PERFORMANCE
THAT ANYONE CAN AFFORD

Think of a power cord as the first


six feet of power your system
sees. Shunyata Research has both
developed the worlds most heralded
power products and proven their
effectiveness with measurements.
Finally: Indisputable proof of
Shunyatas absolute value in the cable
marketplace. All of this is well and

SHUNYATA Venom-3 Power Cord

good, but listening is always the true


test. ZiTron and Venom cables bring
out the best performance from audio
and video components throughout the
price spectrum. High-current delivery
and dramatic reductions in noise levels
are responsible for the incredible
enhancements these cables provide.

The Shunyata products are the most


effective AC products Ive had in my system.
Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound

Shunyata has made tremendous investments in the budget


power-cable category, and thousands of Music Direct
customers are benefiting. Venom 3 is absolutely the worlds
most effective and best-selling aftermarket power cable.
Offering a massive increase in performance over any stock
cable, Venom 3 is literally a game-changer. All it takes is a
quick listen to become a believer. Plus, we offer a lifetime
trade-up policy on all Venom cables.

ZITRON Cobra Power Cable

ZITRON Anaconda Power Cable

ZiTron Cobra is without question the finest


price-to-performance power cord Shunyata
Research ever created. For those with an eye
on value, the ZiTron Cobra is always our first
recommendation. Cobras massive ten-gauge
conductor complement and supple flexibility
means it can be used on any component.
Shunyata designed the ZiTron Cobra as a
complete power-cord system, so the more they
are applied in a system, the more profound
their effects become.

Made for the worlds most exquisite professional


and consumer systems, the ZiTron Anaconda is
obviously not for everyone. But for those that
demand the worlds best AC delivery, nothing
exceeds the performance of the Anaconda.
Placing even one ZiTron Anaconda on a key
component such as your amplifier, power product,
or a reference source will deliver jaw-dropping
improvements. The definition of state-of-the-art.

VTX VIRTUAL TUBE GEOMETRY

Shunyata cryogenically treats all metals used in its cables, a


process that uses liquid Nitrogen to gradually lower the chambers
temperature to near absolute zero. This permanently aligns
the molecules in the metals, producing a small but significant
improvement in their electrical properties.

World-renowned for ultra-complex wire geometries that measurably


improve conductivity and other desirable characteristics, Shunyata
developed Virtual Tube Geometry (VTX) that mimics a hollow tube and
greatly reduces inductance and skin-effect.

PROCESS

CDA-101 COPPER
CDA-101 copper is so pure, it comes with papers to prove its
authenticity. Shunyata purchases CDA-101 as raw ingots and draws
them into wire. Its the only copper Shunyata uses for its products.

A propriteary Cohergenic process uses a masssive electromagnetic

VIBRATION CONTROL

At Music Direct, we are serious listeners. We


spend hours upon hours listening, here at the
shop and in our homes, to all the gear we sell. To
get a better handle on the sound of components,
we all use vibration-control devices to take
resonance and vibrations (internal and external)
out of the critical-listening equation. Some may

feel we take listening to the extreme. Not really.


When you pay good money for a hi-fi system, you
deserve 100% of its performance. But controlling
vibration is more than about maximizing gears
potential. Its really about getting as close as
possible to the music and feeling its emotions.
When vibrations ill effects are terminated, notes

become clearer, soundstages grow deeper,


vocals sound more truer, images come into
sharper focus, and the recorded space emerges
with greater detail. What music lover doesnt
want that? Well help you get there. Call us to
discuss vibration and the devices we offer to
remove it from the sonic picture.

The Shakti Stone uses proprietary noise-reduction circuitry to absorb and


dissipate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference
(RFI). Both EMI and RFI degrade signal transfer in all audio systems. Through
an energy-conversion process, the Shakti Stone uses an antenna-like circuit to
absorb these fields and dissipate them as heat. Just place The Stone over the
power transformer in any component and prepare to be amazed.

NEW Solidsteel HyperSpike HS Audio Rack

Solidsteel HyperSpike HJ Audio Rack

When you have invested thousands of dollars in heirloom audio equipment, its
imperative the components sit on shelves worthy of their potential. The audio
shelf is in itself a component. Its sonic benefits are as equally as important as
the design elements. HyperSpike is the top-of-the-line audio support system
with materials chosen for their respective benefits and overall finish. Every
aspect is mechanically tested for its acoustical effects on system synergy. The
larger-size shelves accommodate reference-level pieces that may not fit on
other purpose-built shelving. A rubber O-ring system prevents vibration from
traveling between components, ensuring everything will sound as it should.
These are Italian works of audio art. Nothing less.

The HyperSpike HJ Series is a three-pillar rack, with materials


directly taken from the costlier HyperSpike HS Series. The pillars
are constructed from, yes, solid steel. Polished to a beautiful
finish. The shelves are made from special medium-density fiber
that is especially inert, and finished in a matte-black non-resonant
paint. Great spikes adorn the bottom for the ultimate in support.
HyperSpike HJ Series grants reference-level audio-component
support without the reference-level price tag.

NEW Solidsteel S5 Series Audio Racks


Price-to-performance, nothing supports your system like the new

the rack stem. The entire rack is spike-supported and includes floor
protectors. Nothing better at these prices!

Dean Martin was always at his best


when he sounded effortless, when
the singing required no apparent

Nelson Riddle, Martin strikes all the
right notes on this collection of thenrecent and retro standards. Includes
the bonus track Aint That a Kick in

Captured in early 1966 while his big


band opened for Frank Sinatra, Live
at the Sands (Before Frank) contains
nearly all of Count Basies signature
pieces delivered with an enthusiasm,
style, and brassiness that exceed that
gracing most of his studio efforts. The
leader causes hearts to race, hips
to shake, and fingers to snap with
high-energy readings of trademark
swing, taken to feverish heights by
his first-rate orchestra. Heres your

responses we have to the very music that
transformed cultures, inspired leaders,
and united individuals, these reissues
take you behind Dylans sunglasses and
place you eye-to-eye with his visions,
thoughts, words, and persona. Mobile
Fidelity is flattered to have the privilege
of working with his catalog and ensuring
that epochal works such as Blonde on
Blonde now sound as lifelike as they did
on the days they were cut.

They looked like any number


of young, hopeful bands
straddling the violent fade of
the 1960s with the advent of
the 1970s. Yet this amicable
Georgia collective sounded
like no other, its youthfulness
belied by virtuosic abilities and
interlocking interplay Miles
Davis wouldve envied. Between
1969 and 1973, the group
recorded four studio albums and

one exalted live double album


whose stunningly resonant
blues, spirit-moving soul, rawboned R&B, purifying gospel,
and polyrhythmic rock motifs
set precedents while boasting
some of the most magnificent

A Swingin Affair!

What makes a legend? When it comes to


Frank Sinatra, everything. The debonair
look. The cool attitude. The enviable
disposition. The fact that most men
wanted to be him and most women
wanted him. But above all, that rich
sonorous voice. Sinatras definitive
baritone remains the de facto reference.
His peerless vocal abilitiesphrasing,
tempo, timing, control, timbre, emotion
pour from his songs, the interpretations
flush with irresistible persuasion,
uncompromised sincerity, universal
pathos, and heartbreaking sensitivity.
Mobile Fidelity is honored to present
many of the Chairmans very finest albums
in the highest-possible sonic quality.

No matter how difficult, Billy Joel always


succeeds in wrapping his head around
rich swaths of American pop. His music
stops by way of New Orleans, Kansas
City, Memphis, Chicago, and other
milestone cities. The singers simple,
yet disarmingly effective lyrics speak to
universal truths and uplift. Joels melodic
flair does the rest, filling out tunes with
comprehensive arrangements, towering
harmonies, and a swift sense of purpose
that made him one of the most beloved
artists of his generation. His catalog
testifies on behalf of unimpeachably
ovational songwriting and execution.
Experience it all in heart-rustling fidelity.

to dance. Helmed by Meat Loaf
producer Jim Steinman, the gothrock milestones monumental
production relishes in splendid
dynamic contrasts, low-end thrust,
and moody atmospherics.

An 80s dance-pop staple,


Upstairs at Erics transfixes
with smoky blues singing, jazzy
arrangements, disco-tinged beats,
and house-inspired vibes that fit
equally as well at late-night clubs
as they do in a living room. United
by stylish complexity, Vince
Clarkes synthesized grooves
and Alison Moyets sensual
vocals breathe with decongested
openness on this stellar LP.

Love Is Hell

RYAN ADAMS

RICKY NELSON

JUDAS PRIEST

Originally released on two EPs,


Love Is Hell is a staggeringly
personal report on romantic
desolation, personal frustration,
and incurable loneliness whose
themes play out via heartbreakingly
intimate vocals, stark acoustic
guitars, unembellished electric
guitars, and spare pianos. The
excising of pain has rarely sounded
more bittersweetor spiritual.
Throughout, Adams makes you
feel and inspires reaction. This
unsurpassed edition contains
seven extra songs previously only
on a Japanese-issued bonus disc.

Ricky Nelson will forever be


identified with the ageless single
Lonesome Town.The careerdefining smash is included on this
record that arguably remains the
picturesque idols peak moment, a
1959 set on which the singer moves
away from teen pop and towards
serious rock n roll and rockabilly on
par with the likes of Elvis Presley.
Loaded with well-chosen original
and cover material, and featuring an
all-star session band, Ricky Sings
Again is a foundation-building 1950s
album topped off with excellent
sound.

Youve got another thing comin!


Distinguished by magnesium-burn
guitars, leather-tough percussion, moltenhot melodies, and the piercing falsetto
of operatic vocalist Rob Halford, Judas
Priest defines British heavy metal on
1978s Stained Class, the follow-up Killing
Machine (a.k.a. Hell Bent for Leather), and
1980s Screaming for Vengeance. In the
same way these platinum albums remain
incalculably influential touchstones
on which precision-based speed,
mainstream accessibility, and hardedged rebelliousness meet in triangular
equilibrium, the Silver Label LPs redefine
the musics power and reach.

Ricky Sings Again

LYNYRD SKYNYRD

TRAIN

Street Survivors remains Lynyrd


Skynyrds finest hour. The last
album recorded with original
members Ronnie Van Zant and
Allen Collins, who passed away
in a tragic plane accident three
days after its release, the 1977
set is mythical for its historical
significance and infallible
songwriting. Add in freshly inspired
performances and classic Muscle
Shoals production, and you have a
timeless work of art.

Theres nothing wrong with echoing


classic rock and harmonic pop
sounds, especially when its done
this well. Drops of Jupiter, Trains
two-time Grammy-winning 2001
album, revels in hooks and comfort
borrowed from proven 70s methods.
A trio of Top 40 smashes and the
presence of legendary session
keyboardist Chuck Leavell point the
way toward melodic bliss.

Street Survivors

Stained Class

Killing Machine

The B-52s

Wild Planet

Screaming for Vengeance

THE B-52s
The B-52s were about a decade
ahead of the alt-rock revolution when
they put their stamp on delightfully
campy, intentionally goofy,
lyrically kitschy, richly colorful, and
undeniably harmonic new-wave pop
with their self-titled debut and 1980s
Wild Planet. The party rolled into
1989, with Cosmic Thing, and a trip to
the love shack! Worth it alone for the
iconic album covers, which spotlight
those bouffant dos. Boffo!

Cosmic Thing

Drops of Jupiter

STEVIE WONDER
Fullfillingness
First Finale

Hotter
Than
July

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder established an


incredible precedent between
1971 and 1976, releasing a slew of
genre-blurring albums that include
Talking Book, Music of My Mind, and
Fulfillingness First Finale. Wonder
not only restores faith in love, he
includes smart political commentary,
personal-is-political messages, and
empowering statements on records
on which he served as producer
and primary performer. Add 1980s
reggae-splashed Hotter Than July
to this batch, and few efforts are
more consistently enriching.

Into the
Labyrinth

Spiritchaser

DEAD CAN DANCE

10,000 MANIACS

Just as Dead Can Dance are


utterly distinctive, so too, are
the world-fusion groups Into
the Labyrinth and Spiritchaser.
Intimate, textured, and deeply
spiritual, they are some the most
gorgeous LPs you will ever hear.
Anchored by glossolalia vocals
and kaleidoscopic arrangements,
exotic soundscapes mesmerize
at every turn. Think of them as
ethereal portals to lost cultures.

A landmark of the underground,


independent, and university
scenes, In My Tribe remains an
ideal synthesis of fundamental
eclecticism, roots music, and
personalized narratives anchored
by Natalie Merchants inimitable
singing. Seemingly coming from
a different landscape, nothing
about the 10,000 Maniacs fare is
typicalfor its era or now.

every major music outlet as one of the most spectacular live events
ever presented, is synonymous with extraordinary performances,
memorable chemistry, A-list collaborations, and timeless songs.
Intended as the Band's farewell, the beloved 1976 affair receives its

original analog tapes and pressed at RTI. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell,
Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and more await your arrival.

JIMI HENDRIX
Surprises don't come bigger than People, Hell & Angels. A brand-new Jimi
Hendrix album comprised of a dozen previously unreleased, complete songs,
2013's most improbably smash isn't a repackaging of existing material, a
collection of outtakes, or patched-together assembly of demos. It's much more.
Spanning fare completed between 1968 and 1970, the album showcases
Hendrix operating independently of the Experience. Pressed at QRP, it joins
freshly minted 200g mono LP pressings of Hendrix's initial two releases and
definitive editions of his other landscape-shifting studio and live LPs. Dig it, jack.

JANIS JOPLIN Cheap Thrills


Sourced from the original mono master tapes and housed in
a perfectly replicated gatefold jacket, this sonically stunning
reissue of Janis Joplins number-one 1968 album marks its
first appearance on mono LP in more than four decades.
Ranked #338 on Rolling Stones list of the 500 Greatest
Albums of All Time, Cheap Thrills includes the smashes
Summertime and Piece of My Heart as well as an
emotionally bloodletting vocal performance for the ages.

sophomore effort established new sonic parameters in terms

An exhaustive portrait of one of historys most diverse and gifted


musicians, Carry On encompasses Stephen Stills remarkable
50-year-plus career via 82 remastered tracks and a 116-page
booklet. This one has everything every obsessive fan could want.
Dozens of familiar songs join rare collaborations with the likes of
Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and more; 25 songs are
previously unreleasedmany of which are live, including a 2012
live performance with CSN. Not to be missed.

The enviable combination of great and great-sounding doesnt come more


automatic. Wilco refuses to stand still, using each album to expand horizons
and push boundaries. Analog editions of 1993s country-flavored A.M., 1996s
double-album Being There, and 1999s power-pop Summerteethall cut from the
original master tapes and pressed at Pallasjoin 2002s album-of-the-year Yankee
Hotel Foxtrot, 2004s intuitive a ghost is born, 2005s live Kicking Television,
2007s peaceful Sky Blue Sky, 2009s illuminating Wilco (The Album), and 2012's
comprehensive The Whole Love as rewarding staples of any collection.

NEIL YOUNG
AFTER THE GOLD RUSH

The harbinger of what became the soft-pop singersongwriter movement, Tapestry is sublime art, a recording
of graceful intimacy, confessional purpose, relaxed warmth,
and soothing melody. Without any detectable flaws, the
1971 landmark is the rare kind of record thats handed on
to generations and resonates with undiminished returns.
Mastered from the original analog tapes and cut at 45RPM.

WILCO

Theres nothing like hearing Neil Young in analog. Maintaining a nearly


unprecedented level of quality control, the uncompromising artist has forever
prized vinyl. Youngs first four solo studio records established an inimitable
precedent for songwriting, arranging, performance, and sound. Remastered and
cut from the original master tapes and pressed at Pallas, these milestones take
their place as some of the best-sounding records ever made. Textures, colors, and
dynamics also abound on Youngs live archival releases and latest studio efforts,
including 2012s stellar platters with Crazy Horse, Americana and Psychedelic Pill.

ROY ORBISON In Dreams


The mind-blowing title track to this astonishing 1963 Monument
studio album survives as one of the greatest pieces of music
ever made: Seven movements, Roy Orbison singing through two
octaves, and in the process, distancing himself from any pop or
rock peer. Appointed by strings and produced by the legendary
Fred Foster, In Dreams also counts the emotionally stirring My
Prayer, Blue Bayou, and Beautiful Dreamer to its credit. Utter
perfection, and now, at 45RPM, a sonic paragon.

ERIC CLAPTON
Give Me Strength: The 1974/1975 Recordings
Remastered for the first time on vinyl and collected here in
box-set form, Eric Claptons trilogy of hit mid-70s albums461
Ocean Boulevard, There's One In Every Crowd, and scorching
live set E.C. Was Heresignal the creative comeback and
personal resurgence of the period's most vital guitarist.
Re-inspired and re-connected to his blues roots, Slowhand
conquers inner struggles by finding needed inspiration in nowclassic songs that span "Give Me Strength" to a deeply spiritual
concert rendition of "Presence of the Lord. Dont just hear
them; feel them on this essential analog release.

SWEET HOME ALABAMA

The Doors. Like you've never before experienced them. Six studio albums. Each a
bonafide classic. Now you can feel, not just hear, every signature note and breath,
and even sense the recording studio walls contributing to the music's physicality
and soulfulness. Jim Morrison's soul-awakening howls, Ray Manzarek's signature
keyboard riffs, Robby Krieger's raw guitar riffs, and John Densmore's heart-starting
drum beats erupt with tremendous realism, presence, and dimensionality. These
200g LPs are remastered from the original analog source tapes by Doug Sax
and original Doors engineer Bruce Botnick, and meticulously pressed at Quality
Record Pressings. Go ahead. Light your fire.

TED NUGENT Ted Nugent


Just what the doctor ordered: The Motor City Madmans
stranglehold on wild, frenzied rock n roll starts here. Loaded

and dripping with tonal sass. Remastered from the original
analog tapes by Ryan Smith (who used original mastering
engineer George Marinos notes) in Marinos mixing room
on a VMS 80 lathe and pressed at QRP, this is one helluva
powerful, dynamic, and lively record. Also available on SACD.

The immediate appeal of the recently late guitarist J.J. Cales
1976 long-player pertains to its status as home to the original

turned into a hit. Slowhand also covered the Troubadour
track Travelin Light. Laidback, offbeat, charming, and shot
through with comfortable country-rock rhythms and bluesy
shuffles, this is a true musicians recordone that, remastered

You cant get much closer to the King if you went to Graceland. Analogue Productions
gold-standard 45RPM vinyl and Hybrid SACD treatments of Elvis definitive anthology
(24 Karat Hits), standout 1960 post-military album (Elvis Is Back!), and second volume of
behind-the-scenes in-progress takes of classics (Stereo 57 Essential Elvis Vol. 2) serve
as invitations into the original studio control rooms. Meticulously mastered and pressed
on dead-quiet vinyl, theyll get you all shook up.

The raspy voice, Stratocaster guitar, and smoldering passion. A transfixing combination
of amplified Texas blues, pyrotechnic jazz, and Southern-style boogie. Stevie Ray
Vaughan is etched in our memories for many reasons, not the least of which are his
unforgettable albums and recognizable tones. Analogue Productions cut the Texas
slingers six studio efforts from the original master tapes and curated them in two 200g
vinyl box sets. Sound so real, its better than plugging a six-string into an amplifier right
beside you. Also on Hybrid SACD.

Reckoning collects original and cover songs played by the ensemble in 1980. Absent

Deads inimitable way with roots music. On 1977s Terrapin Station, the band follows
leader Jerry Garcias cue to light the song with sense and color, turning in a diverse
record salted with funk, rock, soul, and disco flavors. Itll have you dancin in the streets.

Thankfully, Analogue Productions brought this ambitious project back via reissues that

Soular Energy has been released on nearly every software


format. Newly mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio,
plated by Gary Salstron, and pressed at QRP, this groove-tastic
45RPM version is the one to get. Feel and picture the woodiness,
grain, and string tension of Ray Browns upright bass as well
as the cavity of Gene Harris piano and individual reeds of Red
Holloways saxophone.

NOTHING BUT GENIUS


RAY CHARLES Genius + Soul = Jazz
It dont mean a thing if it aint got that swing. And Ray Charles
Genius + Soul = Jazz swings like the dickens. Boasting
arrangements from Quincy Jones and support from Count Basies
ensemble, the primarily instrumental affair rides on Charles
intoxicating Hammond B3 organ riffs. Cut from the original analog
masters and pressed at QRP, this reissue stayed true to the original
recording notesincluded on the original tape boxes in Braille!
Exquisite sound, all around, on both the analog and digital versions.

Dont be daunted by the fact that 1962s Today and Now was
recorded toward the end of Coleman Hawkins fruitful career. The
session finds the tenor sax great reinvigorated and reenergized,
likely due to an impromptu repertoire that includes traditional
works and obscure ballads. He blows with unrequited abandon,
cementing what stands as his last great album.

PHOEBE SNOW Phoebe Snow

This ones all about the pure sound and true portrayal of the
human voice. Recorded at 30ips on a Studer 820 24-track
machine with vintage microphones and sans EQ or limiting,
and mixed with monoblock tube amps, these fresh reissues
of this 1992 all-analog set by singing legend Janis Ian are

NORAH JONES
COME AWAY WITH ME

(200g LP)
(HYBRID SACD)

A watershed ensemble-based recording alight with bold structures,


massive interplay, and dynamic colors, this 1961 affair shifts
between compelling ballads and unrestrained uptempo delights.
As for the in-the-room sound on these audiophile-grade editions?
Jazz authority DownBeat raves, The sense of instrumental
separation imaging and separation holds firm for even the wildest
passages. Mingus bass takes on life-size proportions.

The result of fortunate circumstances, Shelly Manne and Bill Evans


first collaboration resulted from a shared concert bill. Free to
explore ideas outside of his namesake trio, Evans demonstrates
a lighter, looser, more relaxed approach to the piano while Manne
spurs him on, welcoming sharp notes and lighthearted phrasing.
Bassist Monty Budwig also contributes to a jaunty joie de vivre that
makes this 1962 set a rediscovered classic.

The all-time best-selling audiophile vocal album requires little introduction.


Norah Jones' Grammy-dominating Come Away With Me now sounds even more
absorbingly transparent, immediate, and sensual courtesy of stunning 200g
LP and Hybrid SACD editions, remastered from the original source material by
Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio. Analogue Productions brings the same care and
concern to every other effort in Jones catalog, including 2004s Arif Mardinproduced Feels Like Home. The five individual albums are also available in

RAY BROWN Soular Energy

You wanted the best, you got the best. One of the most illuminating audiophileoriented catalog restoration projects undertaken, every title in Analogue
Productions superb-sounding Nat King Cole series is lovingly mastered on
all-analog systems by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray from the original three-track
analog master tapes at AcousTech. Most of the LPs feature a six-panel booklet
with rare photos and essays. DSD specialist Gus Skinas aided with the terrific
SACDs. The no-expenses-spared combination of music, sonics, packaging, and
emotion is breathtaking. Aural silk.

DUKE ELLINGTON & JOHN COLTRANE


Duke Ellington & John Coltrane
John Coltranes account of this opportune collaboration speaks
volumes: "[Ellington] has set standards I haven't caught up with yet.
I would have liked to have worked over all those numbers again,
but then I guess the performances wouldn't have had the same
spontaneity. And they mightn't have been any better!" No, one
cant imagine the music or sonics being superior to whats here.

Hot, hot, hot. Thats the character of the Horace Silver quintet

Junior Cook, Louis Hayes, and Gene Taylor. A perennial
favorite, the record includes the unforgettable soul-jazz
composition Sister Sadie.

A founding father of hard bop, cool jazz, and fusion, and leader of some of the
most championed bands assembled, Miles Davis left behind a series of albums
recorded between the mid-50s and early 60s that one could spend a lifetime
exploring. Especially since theyve since been mastered by the likes of Stan Ricker,
Kevin Gray, and George Marino, and pressed to-die-for LPs and SACDs. Ageless

All one really needs to know about this 1960 steamer is that it
features the same cast, save for the addition here of trumpeter
Richard Williams, which performs on Oliver Nelsons epic Blues
and the Abstract Truth. A sparkling prelude to the latter, the record
overflows with diminished chords and discriminating percussion,
with Eric Dolphy splashing color and the headliner waxing poetic.

Trane. Red Garland. Paul Chambers. Art Taylor. Nobody


would refuse to incorporate such an all-star lineup into the
fold. On this 1957 effort, a maturing Trane emerges, the
Herculean blowing and tornadic soloing blossoming from
infancy, the balladic elegance surfacing on a splendid You
Leave Me Breathless. Come to think of it, they shouldve
named the album after that song. Itd been apt.

Tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons was no stranger to stepping


out and improvising chromatic lines. Yet The Boss could also
relax, and tap into symmetrical blues and R&B melodies that made
ballads positively sing. Its what he does throughout this restrained
1961 standards-based affair, steeped in moody expressiveness that
weaves a captivating soul-jazz spell.

Originally recorded in 1963 for iconic blues label Delmark,


the acoustic-based Keep It To Ourselves displays harmonica
maestro Sonny Boy Williamson in naked fashion during
the height of his resurgence. He pairs with guitarist Matt
Murphy on select tracks, and welcomes legendary pianist
Memphis Slim on a few others. Mastered by Kevin Gray, this

Theres never been a better time to stock up on some of
the coolest sounds produced in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.

How badly did Sonny Rollins want to refine his playing? The
saxophonist shocked the world in 1959 and took a break,
returning in 1962 with this splendiferous set, named after the
Williamsburg Bridge, where he practiced by himself. Hes paired
here with guitarist Jim Hall. The latters communicative lines,
along with Rollins esteemed solos and melancholy patterns, give
The Bridge lofty status.

CHET BAKER Chet Is Back!

Mastered from the original master tapes, ORG Musics reissues of John Coltranes
Atlantic classics are pure serenity. My Favorite Things features Coltranes
legendary quartet radically reworking pop standards on soprano saxophone.
Coltrane Jazz highlights Trane's first use of multiphonics, which here, and unlike
on any other Coltrane record, are querulously pitched to allow him to explore new
tonalities. The acoustic-based Ol Coltrane spotlights the double-bass interplay
between Art Davis and Reggie Workman. Tremendous.

goosebump-inducing interpreter of folk, pop, jazz, country
and gospel standards that sang with effortless ease and
epochal beauty. Out of print on vinyl for years, her music

HANK MOBLEY The Feelin's Good

ANDREW HILL Judgment!

Having the opportunity to present this great session in its entirety,


and in the Music Matters Jazz style, is one of the most satisfying
things weve done with the series to date, says label chief Joe
Harley about The Feelins Good, which for the very first time
collects the music recorded at a single March 1963 session in
one place. The elated expression gracing the leaders face on the
album cover says it all.

Pianist Andrew Hill spent decades as an unsung Blue Note


giant before receiving long-overdue acclaim courtesy of a string
of late-career studio comebacks. 1964s Judgment! finds him
during his innovative peak, playing in a collective that eschews
horns in favor of stripped-down vibes, bass, and drums. Hill
juggles rhythmic signatures, borrows modal devices, flirts with
dissonance, and juxtaposes complex melodies. Wait til you hear
how lifelike it all sounds.

Up & Down straddles blues, hard bop, and soul jazz, each
discipline coming into focus with equal force, and each style
blending via succulent approaches that come across like putty in
the hands of not only the headlining pianist but that of guitarist
Grant Green and tenor sax man Booker Ervin. Hailing from 1961,
the album arrived in the sweet spot of Blue Note history, and
plays like it, too.

DEXTER GORDON A Swingin Affair

Debates over which volume of the Jazz Messengers At the


Caf Bohemia is superior continue nearly six decades after
the release of the live set, with Volume 1 prized for subtle maneuvers and Volume 2 celebrated for its power, energy, and
cohesiveness. Bottom line is both records are mandatory,
never more so than now given these extraordinary-sounding
reissues that bring drummer Art Blakeys Hall of Fame hit
squad to life in a realistic way unimaginable until now.

Sometimes, a session is so prolific that it spawns multiple albums.


Such is the case with Dexter Gordons 1962 date with Sonny
Clark, Butch Warren, and Billy Higginsa get-together that not
only yielded Go! but produced this aptly titled effort. Gordon isnt
afraid to color outside of the lines, unleashing soaring solos and
distinctive harmonic passages that prize directness over hipness.

SONNY CLARK Dial S for Sonny

CLIFFORD JORDAN Cliff Craft

Sonny Clarks premature death at the age of 31, coupled with


his liquid signature on the 88s, instantly made him a hard-bop
icon. Dial S for Sonny, his 1957 debut as a leader, is chock
full of the fresh ideas, youthful zest, and tonal surprises that
infused his finest playing. On the same level as his band
anchored by Art Farmer and Hank MobleyClark swings and
relaxes, making the most of standards and originals.

One of the benefits of Music Matters ongoing series is the


manner in which the imprint uncovers neglected period records.
Cut in 1959, Cliff Craft qualifies, as the swinging date finds the
tenor saxophonist playing it cool by unfurling refined albeit
engaging strains amidst a subtle canvas thats salted and
peppered by a backing quartet that includes trumpeter Art
Farmer and pianist Sonny Clark.

Blue Note aficionados.

DONALD BYRD Royal Flush


Cut in 1961 when trumpeter Donald Byrd was at the top of his

laidback take on the pop standard "I'm a Fool to Want You." Add
to this musical chemistry that this represents Herbie Hancock's
first Blue Note session released to the public, and what you have
is vital history. Music Matters' absorbing pressing gives new life to
Alfred Lion's original production.

Amidst a cast that includes trumpeter Lee Morgan, bassist

only record made with a group larger than a quartet, the set
stands out via the vibrant interplay as well as the transparent
sonics, which spread the septet across a giant soundstage.

early discography, Speak Like a Child hints at the electronic

finely textured, and hopeful. Hancock aimed to rediscover

If Lee Morgan didnt invent the hard-bop style for trumpet, he at least perfected
it. A towering figure in the 1960s, the Philadelphia native performed on more

tone, sinewy lines, angular themes, and innate feel for music. Be it sweet ballads,
funky uptempo pieces, or soulfully aggressive jazz, Morgan simply knew what to
play and what worked best. Music Matters restoration of his catalog standouts is

CHARLES MINGUS Tijuana Moods

PAUL DESMOND Desmond Blue

Dealing with a difficult divorce, Charles Mingus sojourned to


Tijuana in 1957, absorbing the citys flamboyant culture and soaking
in the sights, sounds, and smells. He then channeled the border
towns colorful flair, tequila-flavored pleasure, and propulsive
street music on the wildly innovative and riotously rhythmic
Tijuana Moods. Unreleased until 1962, the record remains one
of the bassist's top-flight affairs, enhanced by the impassioned
performances of his sidemen. Mastered from the original master
tapes, ORGs version transports you to Mexico.

Desmond Blue is Paul Desmond as youve never heard him


before. Featuring guitarist Jim Hall, and comprised of gorgeous
standards such as My Funny Valentine, the elegant 1961 RCA
album finds the alto sax legend partnered with a string orchestra
conducted and arranged by Bob Prince. Soothing, majestic,
and mellow, this is music at its lush, soulful best. This exquisite
pressing is remastered by Ray Staff.

between extroversion and reservation, ensuring that each and

Recorded less than a year before Bill Evans passed, these

Joe LaBarbera, Evans has a band that, at this affair, is as

serves as an engrossing farewell.

Get it hot: Rosemary Clooney paired with Cuban bandleader


Perez Prado just once. The duo makes the meeting count for
all its possible worth on this sizzling 1959 effort, spiced with
American and Latin standards. Mambo, big band, and traditional
ballads fare cook with Clooneys hallmark mellow timbre and
Prados percussive touches. A superb group invigorates the party,
and ORGs sourcing from the original analog masters causes the

DUKE ELLINGTON Jazz Party in Stereo

ELLA FITZGERALD
Sings the Rodgers and Hart Songbook Vol. I

Everyones invited to this party: Jimmy Rushing whoops


and shouts, Johnny Hodges and Paul Gonslaves blow
madly, Dizzy Gillespie drops in with the orchestra, and nine
symphonic percussionists stir up a commotion on two other
cuts. As for Duke, hes ecstatic playing the role of a very
active emcee. Mastered from the original analog master
tapes and pressed at RTI.

The Lady Is A Tramp, Spring Is Here, Little Girl Blue, and


dozens of other perennials penned by Rodgers and Hart
have been interpreted thousands of times. No one delivers
them more authoritatively or emotionally than Ella Fitzgerald.
Mastered from the original analog tapes, Fitzgeralds phrasings,
modulations, and intonations have never sounded more lifelike
or personal. Incredible.

WEATHER REPORT Heavy Weather

We probably dont need to tell you about the brilliance


surrounding Miles Davis Live at the Plugged Nickel. How it
documents a two-night 1965 stand by his second quintet
comprised of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and
Tony Williams. How it spotlights nearly no songs from his albums,
but groundbreaking renditions of standards. How its one of the
Holy Grails of jazz. But we will tell you to get a copy now. Handnumbered and limited to 500 copies.

For reasons we cant understand, new jazz releases are few and
far between on vinyl. All the more, then, to get excited about Dave
Hollands 2013 album Prism in analog. The former Miles Davis
bassist has evolved into one of the premier composers and players
of the past four decades, and here, hes made a groove-based
burner with an electric band comprised of guitarist Kevin Eubanks,
pianist Craig Taborn, and drummer Eric Harland. The colorful
results reflect the spectrum-referencing properties of the title.

New Orleans luminaries the Dirty Dozen Brass Band made an


unsurpassed post-Katrina tribute to their hometown with 2006s
intensely relevant Whats Going On. Recreating the album of the
same name by Marvin Gaye and arranging it for funkier, grooveheavy jazz and gospel settings, the group picks up on the social
commentary and invites guests Ivan Neville, Bettye LaVette, and
more to tell it like it is. Remastered for LP at Air Mastering.

Cited by the long-gone albeit still treasured Stereo Review as


album of the year, and crafted line-by-line in the studio, this 1970
set helped introduce pianist/songwriter Randy Newman to the
greater public. Gentle, intricate, clever, and subtle in every element
of its construction, the piano-and-voice LP rewards close listening,
a pursuit immensely elevated on this sparklingly rich analog
reissue. The varying timbres and moods of Nilsson's voice and
phrasing are alone worth their weight in gold.

Buoyed by the 25-minute improvisational sprint Free Form Funkafide Filth, Live!
presents in riveting detail the one-off meeting between Santana and former Jimi Hendrix
drummer Buddy Miles at a Hawaiian festival. Soul, blues, gospel, Latin-spiked rock
present and accounted for, blended together in spirited fashion, by the guitar whiz and a
crack band that counted no less than six percussionists. Absorbing.

DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET At Carnegie Hall
Speakers Corner strikes gold with this long-overdue
issue of a live LP considered by many experts the
finest Dave Brubeck ever released on albumand
considering the pianists track record, thats saying
something. The crack ensemble includes saxophonist
Paul Desmond and drummer Joe Morello. Even
better, the record includes the entire February 1963
show; not a note or comment is deleted. Seminal
performance, seminal listening.

Everyone will know, and instantly fall in love, with the six songs
on Side A of this imaginatively improvised Living Stereo LP. Judy
Garland sung them all in The Wizard of Oz, and here conductor/
trumpeter Shorty Rogers and His Giants (including Jimmy Giuffre
on sax and Barney Kessel on guitar), turn them into jazzy romps.
Ditto the Harold Arlen staples on Side B, given a fitting West Coast
vibe. Terrific fun.

accustomed to in the Modern Jazz Quartet. Blues and bop
themes pepper the dozen tunes. Speakers Corner's reissue

round out an octet. Highly rhythmic, and splitting the difference

("Song for Strayhorn"), this double LP set is a vital cog in jazz's
evolutionary tradition.

No Etta James album is more definitive, beloved, and powerful

is the gold standard, from presenting James sheer power, to the
perfect duplication of the original cover.

BRUCH Scottish Fantasia and


HINDEMITH Violin Concerto (Oistrakh/Horenstein/LSO)

The Art of the Prima Donna is more than a showcase for soprano Joan Sutherland. Its
a window into the voices of divas that sang before the advent of the phonograph and
an homage to timeless arias by the likes of Handel, Bellini, Verdi, and more. Recorded
in 1960 at Kingsway Hall by Kenneth Wilkinson, this Decca platter never sounded better
than it does on this Speakers Corner pressing.

In the course of its 54-year history, the Beaux Arts Trio


became known as unrivaled interpreters of Schuberts
music. And so it is on this Speakers Corner reissue of this
benchmark, on which the twisting harmonic sequences,
vivid colors, and sustained lyricism are rendered with the
equal parts masculinity and femininity that the composer
intended. Utterly superb.

MOZART Concerto for Piano and Orchestra Nos. 19


& 27/Haskil/Fricsay/Berlin

Awaken the sleeping beauty. Tchaikovskys resplendent


ballet is given a luxurious reading by Ansermet and the
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, which handle every cue
ranging from percussive volleys to string crescendoswith
absolute perfection. Sonically, this version is among the most
sought-after title in Deccas catalog due to the airiness, fullbloom presentation, and vintage warmth.

Written in 1940 and 1945, respectively, these two Stravinsky


pieces tower as bold examples of modern music, composed
with the intent to move away from late-Romantic era
expressiveness and toward a simpler purpose. Ansermet
and the Suisse handle the surfeit of polytonal melodies and
ballet-referencing rhythms with aplomb. Fantastic.

STRAUSS Elektra/Solti/Vienna Philharmonic


Georg Solti, the preeminent Strauss authority. Birgit Nilsson,

time. The outstanding acoustics of Viennas Sofiensaal.
The power, thrust, and tidal momentum of the Vienna
Philharmonic. No other Elektra even comes close. This

I MUSICI Works by Barber/Resphigi/Britten/Bartok


SCHUBERT Octet in F Major/Boskovsky/Vienna Octet

A superb collection focusing on great works by modern


composers that also acknowledge tradition, this 1961 recording
functions as an outlet for not just master craftsmen such as Britten
and Bartok, but that of the first generation of Italian baroque
chamber ensemble I Musici. The resultant combination of
performance and passion, sound and skill, hits rarified peaks.

Schubert designed his light Octet in F Major to illustrate


both the interplay between and distinctiveness of individual
instruments. Indeed, every string and wind sound is captured
with supreme agility on this splendid Decca title, which
portrays the octet as performing in a highly natural, chambermusic setting. Reference-caliber in every way.

BEETHOVEN
Sonatas for Piano & Cello/Rostropovich/Richter
Cellist Mstiskav Rostropovich and pianist Sviatoslav Richters
technical prowess is the stuff of legend. A hallmark of their
careers, the Russian virtuosos readings of Beethovens
sonatas on this 1962 set convey the music with ideal
emotion. Contemplative, elegant, austere, and sensitive,
the performances register on both cerebral and sentimental
levels, while the sonics are acoustically proportionate.

Named after its Andantino fourth movement (a set of


variations on the song of the same name), the fivemovement "Trout" Quintet possesses a beautiful lightness
that's the equivalent of watching a ballerina dance on the
tiptoes of her feet. Recorded with pianist Clifford Curzon
and violinist Willi Boskovsky, as well as other members of
the Vienna Octet, this reissue pleases with meter-perfect
tonal balances and plush tones.

Nodding to Bachs Well-Tempered Clavier, Shostakovichs


miniatures contain an abundance of playful sarcasm, sparkling
melodies, and minor-key detours. Sviatoslav Richters refined
performance brings their expressionist themes to the fore, as the
Soviet pianists virtuosic technique and middle-range intuitiveness
achieve perfection with the compositions herein.

The French Romantic Era springs to life on these classics by


Ravel and Berlioz, each piece speckled with impressionistic

of singer Regine Crespin, Ansermets commanding baton
direction, and the wowing production. Another beloved
Decca title thats attained demonstration quality via Speakers
Corners scintillating mastering.

SPEAKERS CORNER

Among the most consistently performed Prokofiev works, the


carefree Classical Symphony combines sonata tradition, the

a model of melodic vision and miniature form. Speakers Corners

Borodins In the Steppes of Central Asia. Analog magic.

at QRP. These fabled Golden Age records need little introduction. Just know the sound and true-to-the-originals packaging on these

and inviting than any other previous incarnation. Sublime.

Surveying compositions by Albeniz, Falla, and Granados,


Spain witness Reiner and his mighty CSO deliver convincing
performances of thrilling, related pieces. Distinguished by sweet
string tones that seem to linger like honey dripping from a spoon,
this is another titanic reissue, primed to take full advantage of your
speakers low- and mid-range potential. Spectacular.

Pines of Rome/Fountains of Rome/Reiner/CSO
Classical records dont come more vetted. This collection
of Roman symphonic poems effectively brought Italian
music into the 20th century, aided in part by Reiner and
the Chicago Symphonic Orchestras sympathetic albeit
greatly powerful performances. Originally produced by the
legendary engineering tandem of Layton and Mohr, the
pieces on Analogue Productions reissues achieve a lifelike
presence that accentuates decay, imaging, microtonality,
and dynamics. Glorious.

Some combinations are simply unbeatable. This legendary


1959 Living Stereo platter pairs the power and poise
of Reiners Chicago Symphony Orchestra with equally
authoritative production. Gorgeous strings, superb
bass, avalanche dynamics with that same tape-like ease,
sensational inner detail, raves The Absolute Sound about
these reissues, as good as [weve] heard this record sound.

Youve never heard this masterwork sound like this. To wit,


Jonathan Valin, author of The RCA Bible: Mastering magic has
been done by Chad Kassem and his crew. The piano track,
apparently not properly mixed back in 59, has been given the
prominence it should have always had. Grade A++. A blueribbon performance elevated to new heights? And how.

AMY WINEHOUSE Lioness: Hidden Treasures


Amy Winehouse was one of the most tragic losses ever
witnessed by the music community. Gathering a dozen previously
unreleased recordings stemming from 2002-2011, this compilation
album pays immense tribute to the golden-voiced soulstress and
serves as a lasting memory of her colossal talents. A duet with
Tony Bennett is alone worth the price.

SUNDAZED

Up until his passing, Waylon Jennings kept busy by recording a


new album with the aid of his steel guitarist and bassist. Held back
for more than a decade to avoid charges of capitalizing on the
country icons death, this 12-song set presents Jennings strippeddown to bare essentials. Sundazeds edition is free of overdubs
and edits, just like the music was put to tape.

MANFRED MANN
British Invasion quintet Manfred Mann racked up an enviable streak of hits from
1964-1966, initially pursuing jazz- and R&B-inspired fare and progressively drifting
to pop-rock songs spiked with big beats. The group mastered the art of covers
Do Wah Diddy Diddy, If You Gotta Go, Go Now, Stormy Monday included
while also turning out beloved ballads and novelties. Sundazeds reissues of the
bands first five LPs are mastered from the original tapes.

DONOVAN

The Vivid Sound banner on the album jacket says it all:


Sourced from the original King mono master tapes and pressed

Mississippi-born artists call-and-response vocal-and-guitar
passages. Rumbas, ballads, shuffles, even surf-rock instruments:
Kings 1962 debutthe only LP he made before signing with
Staxhits the blues jackpot.

Once unshackled from misguided comparisons to Bob Dylan, Scottish folk-rock


troubadour Donovan hit his stride in the late 60s, releasing a trio of works
Mellow Yellow, Wear Your Love Like Heaven, The Hurdy Gurdy Manthat
explore eclectic textures, Middle Eastern melodies, introspective flavors, and
poetic release. Sundazed restored these playful albums back to their original
mono mixes for supreme sound. Heavy, man.

ASTRAL TRAVELERS

The definitive prog-rock band, Yes experienced myriad lineup shifts but seldom
wavered from its core principles: Elaborate excursions into psychedelic,
synthesized pop, smooth jazz, and British hard rock; thematically engaging tales
involving science fiction, climate, and mythology; absorbing album artwork that
commands the viewers attention. Relive it all with astounding sonic color and
immense detail on 180g LP.

TRAFFIC Shootout at the Fantasy Factory


Traffic continues its early 70s hot streak on this 1973 gem on
which Muscle Shoals studio veterans David Hood and Roger
Hawkins form the rhythm section. Flirting with prog-rock
arrangements while holding tight to their folk, rock, and jazz
currents, primary members Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi
opt for cleaner production and turn in what stands as Traffics
last great album together.

Gene Clark until the early 70s, Turn! Turn! Turn! rocketed the
band to stardomno surprise given the brilliant title track. David
Crosby and Roger McGuinn sparkle throughout. Two Dylan covers
add to the record reflecting the periods zeitgeist. Meanwhile, the
ringing sounds of the 12-string Rickenbacker on this LP should be
enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

CHUCK BERRY
After School Session: The Deluxe Edition

EVERLY BROTHERS
The Golden Hits of the Everly Brothers

Culled from Chuck Berry's first five sessions for Chess


Records, the duckwalking guitarist's first studio album
contains no fewer than five smash singles, including "School
Days" and "Brown Eyed Handsome Man." This deluxe reissue
contains three bonus tracks. Sensational.

Early rock n roll torchbearers, Don and Phil Everly established


parameters for close two-part harmonies, country rhythms, and
roots accents incorporated into contemporary folk-pop fare that at
the time hadnt any peers. This self-described 12-song set captures
the finest of the duos later-period Warner Bros. fare and, on LP for
the first time in age, is sourced from the original tapes. Stunning.

Spanning the groups prime tenure, Golden Butter


assembles 18 of the Paul Butterfield Blues Bands
most enduring tracks from 1965 through 1973. A
staple during an era in which pop and rock music
experienced significant evolutions, the powerhouse
ensemble stayed true to Chicago blues-based,
guitar-driven songs renowned for their progressive
vision and signature tones. This is the cream of the
bands prolific crop.

You can divide Alice Coopers career into two phases: The early,
harder, classic period and the more polished, pop-savvy recent
streak. Most listeners prefer the former, the phase featured on
this superb collection, documenting the singers finest output
through 1974. Overflowing with staples (Im Eighteen, Under
My Wheels, Billion Dollar Babies), Friday Musics reissues of
this set and Coopers classic studio LPs give reasons to again be
thankful that schools out.

TODD RUNDGREN Runt


Todd Rundgrens genius is evident from the moment the needle
drops on the opening grooves to Runt, the eclectic singer/
songwriter/producers delightfully oddball solo debut. Etched with
rock, ballads, pop, psychedelia, and the in-studio sonic wizardry for
which he became known, the 1970 set remains one of his all-timebest efforts. So great to have it back on vinyl.

BON IVER Bon Iver

Bolstered by the cheery sing-a-long hit Ho Hey,


Denvers Lumineers enjoyed the biggest breakout

earnest, and unfussy, the trios self-titled debut captivates
by way of modest acoustic-based arrangements and
stripped-down melodies that emphasize an old-timey
feel. The cellos, pianos, and vocal harmonies positively
dance on this analog pressing.

Few LPs took more people by storm in the past few years than Bon
Ivers gorgeous sophomore album. Key to jumpstarting the ongoing
singer-songwriter movement, the Grammy-winning effort finds
the Wisconsin native expanding his folk-pop palette with lusher
production, warmer arrangements, a larger cast, and sentimental
reflections. Leader Justin Vernons falsetto croon can move
listeners to tears of joy and sorrow.

60s-styled pop on Volume Three. Laidback guitarist and

swoon-worthy set, the latest installment in a collaboration
evocative of days when malt shops, jukeboxes, and

GREENWICH VILLAGE,
CIRCA 1961

Guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney steadily built the Black Keys
into one of the most organic rock bands going. The duos unfettered, no-muss
approach and fuzz-toned garage sounds owe to a down-home sensibility rooted
in amplified urban and scrappy rural blues. Moreover, the group evolves on each
album. 2011s smash El Camino heaps on gravel-scuffed boogie grooves, savvy
carnal observations, soul-burnt vocals, and hypnosis-inducing rhythms. And the
twosome continues to reflect a preference for analog. Automatic.
THE BLACK KEYS

Inside Llewyn Davis Soundtrack


They did it before on O Brother, Where Art Thou? for old-time
roots music. They do it again here for early 60s folk. Film
producers Joel and Ethan Cohen team with Grammy-winning
producer T Bone Burnett for the fourth time on a soundtrack
steeped in the period's transportive sound, feeling, and
sentiments. Featuring original songs performed live on the
set by Oscar Issac, Marcus Mumford, Justin Timberlake,
the Punch Brothers, and more, as well as a previously
unreleased Bob Dylan recording, the soundtrack for Inside
Llewyn Davis takes you to Greenwich Village, circa 1961.

Pedal-steel guitar virtuoso Robert Randolph gets back to basics


on he and the Family Bands Blue Note debut, Lickety-Split, about
which the New York Times noted its easy to forget that this isnt a
live recording, which seems like the point. Indeed, Randolph taps
into unfettered joy and soulful celebration throughout. Brimming
with superior playing, the record is engineered by the legendary
Eddie Kramer.

Others might get bigger headlines, but when it comes to the


worlds best living guitarist, Richard Thompson is tough to beat.
Produced by Buddy Miller at his home studio and primarily made
with a stripped-down trio, Electric continues the witty singersongwriters recent creative streak via exceptional folk-rock
arrangements, biting satire, economical playing, andaudiophiles,
take notean all-analog recording process. Includes an entire side

Fleet Foxes sophomore record lives up to grand


expectationsand more. The band spent nearly two years
in the studio, honing its sublime blend of choral harmonies,
earthy folk, and old acoustic instrumentation while focusing
on existential themes. Gorgeous, transcendent, warm,

the cover art and transparent, organic sonics.

Whether singing folk tales, plugging in, or

and penetrating lyrics are at once iconic,
relevant, and vital. The bards 1960s

A golden anniversary tour documented on the new Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde
Park Live 3LP/DVD set. Yes, you can always get what you want when it comes to
the Rolling Stones on vinyl. Their early period ABKCO albums are jukeboxes of
indelible riffs, refrains, and rawness. Starting with Exile On Main St., the bad boys
next few decades aint bad either. Get your rocks off!

DAFT PUNK Random Access Memories

THE FLAMING LIPS

French electro-house maestros Daft Punk exceed towering expectations on their first
studio album in eight years. Primarily recorded livewith electronics mostly limited to
drum machines, modular synthesizers, and vocodersthe ambitious affair functions as an
homage to the late 70s/early 80s sounds of American pop and soul. Collaborations with
the likes of Nile Rodgers and other luminaries top off what was 2013s summer staple.

Fabulously unpredictable and sonically unbound, the Flaming Lips sprawling


universe of acid rock, whimsical psychedelia, freaky space-jazz, electronic dance,
and orchestral pop is like no other. The bands kaleidoscopic catalog bursts
forth with feel-good weirdness, three-dimensional textures, and mind-blowing
production. Not to be ignored, particularly since all the bands Warner Bros.
records are back on LP.

SAVAGES Silence Yourself

Nominated for a record fifth consecutive coveted Mercury Prize


Award for AM, Arctic Monkeys have created what New Musical

album of their career. Indeed, the detached cool and restless
moodiness permeating these streamlined, heavily textured,
groove-undercut songs make the incredibly mature and coherent
set the shut-in LP of the decade. Outstanding.

Few opening-salvo albums released in the past decade warranted


as much critical acclaim as the Savages Silence Yourself. Praised
by the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, NPR, and dozens of
other sources, the all-female English quartets self-affirming effort
brings vital post-punk music into the 21st century with indisputable

GUNS N' ROSES Appetite for Destruction


Guns N Roses 18-times-platinum watershed 1987 debuts
legend precedes it. Almost single-handedly responsible
for reintroducing rawness, grit, integrity, and danger back
into rock and roll, the record swaggers on Slash and Izzy
Stradlins almighty guitar rhythms and soars on Axl Roses
matchless vocals. Paradise city, indeed.

URIAH HEEP Demons and Wizards

Rage Against the Machines incendiary debut is remastered on


180g LP from the original flat -inch master tapes, further sparking
the bands powder-keg explosion of agitprop themes, metal
riffs, and edgy aggression. Nearly every song on the 1992 album
remains a staple on rock radio. Rallying cries for truth, equality, and
justice rarely sounded so urgent.

Helmed by Deep Purple guitar hero Ritchie Blackmore and leather-lunged singer
Ronnie James Dio, the original Rainbow combined explosive six-string chord
progressions with equally powerful vocals in developing a dramatic hard-rock style
couched in classical melodies and medieval themes. Recognized as staples from
arenas to high-school parking lots the world over, the bands first three records
1975s Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow, 1976s Rising, and 1977s blazing live On
Stageare finally back on LP, each pressed at RTI and on colored vinyl, to further

Green Day graduated to the big time with 1994s Dookie and went even further

includes 17 previously unreleased cuts, a 104-page book,
amazing photography, and track-by-track annotations.

Superchunk doesnt hate music. Rather, the title of the veteran


quartets rather excellent 2013 album addresses the pressing
concerns and hard questions that face every adult once they
approach the age of 40. Presenting the band as exuberant,
energized, resolute, and contagious as its ever been, this is guitarchord-ringing indie rock at its most affirmative and rewarding.
Repeat spins will have you feeling better in no time at all.

PISTOL ANNIES Annie Up

THE CIVIL WARS The Civil Wars

Maybe its because mainstream country lost much of its nerve over
the last 20 years. Maybe it owes to the fact that Miranda Lambert,
Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley sound honest and sing
about everyday matters without varnished niceties and airbrushed
arrangements. Whatever the reason, Annie Up is refreshingly
brave, sassy, conversational, and funa shot across the bow to the
establishment by three women hellbent on ripping its rules to shreds.

Careers dont get off to much better starts than what the Civil Wars
accomplished with their debut and subsequent three Grammy
Awards. Joy Williams and John Paul White may seem romantically
linked, as their intimate chemistry and close-knit vocals emanate
like those of an involved couple. Their rootsy, down-home
harmonies, minimalist country-tinged arrangements, and aching
folk pop reach an even higher level on their chart-topping self-titled
sophomore record, one of 2013s most rewarding affairs.

JOHNNY CASH
Johnny Cash is one of the very few artists whose legacy speaks for itself and
whose name is synonymous with respect, class, quality, and honesty. To know
Cash is to hear his records, his marble-cut baritone voice, and the authentic
emotions conveyed in his songs. Whether you dive into his thematic Columbia
LPs, or revisit his American Recordings, just listen. The music will do the rest.

KACEY MUSGRAVES Same Trailer Different Park

NEKO CASE
The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight

Kacey Musgraves takes home the prize for 2013s best country
debut. Humorous, confident, unorthodox, and versatile, Same
Trailer Different Park marks the advent of a singer-songwriter with
a mix of awareness, sharpness, and anticipation that rolls around
far too infrequently. Addressing themes ranging from small-town
life to the lies we tell ourselves to remain same, the maverick artist
tells it like it is, and does so with clear-eyed persuasion.

Neko Case professes shes fighting to be wild on her adventurous


The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight Broken free of her
country-rock roots, the distinctive singer traverses gospel elements,
chamber-rock gracefulness, and outr textures. Airy, rich, robust,
and unrestrained, Case is a tour de force of forthright beauty amidst
eclectic landscapes of complexity, contrast, and cleansing that come
closer into focus with each repeat listen.

Dixie Chicks member Natalie Maines set out to make a solo record
thats completely distinctive from that of her main band. With
Mother, combining prescient originals and meaningful covers, she
attains her goal. Co-produced by Ben Harper, the album displays
Maines edgier side via more intense, rock-based workouts,
and even an R&B excursion. Pushing her contralto and falsetto
strengths to the limits, its the outspoken sound of an established
singer refusing to settle and wanting more.

Patty Griffins Silver Bell, made in 2000 but unexpectedly shelved


after A&M Records underwent an ownership change and dropped
the singer from its roster, has finally come full circle. Two of its songs
(Top of the World, Truth #2) were already titanic hits for the
Dixie Chicks. Natalie Maines recently covered another tune. Newly
remixed by Grammy Award-winning producer Glyn Johns, the
14-track set sounds splendid in analog. Worth the wait in every way.

Hank Williams, country musics hard-living founding figure, left us
timeless songs punctuated by personal emotion, direct deliveries,

a foundation of popular music, and his themesconcerning
heartache, drinking, loneliness, philandering, loss, death, and
painpredated rock's obsession with those issues by decades.
These are his most fundamental cuts.

MARK KNOPFLER Privateering


My idea of heaven is somewhere where the Mississippi
Delta meets the Tyne, says Mark Knopfler in describing the
wide-spanning influences that flavor Privateering, the first
double album of his 35-year career. Flanked by a first-rate
band and checking off everything from mellow Americana to
walking blues and Irish-themed folk, its chockablock with the
trademark tonalities that made Knopfler an audiophile icon.

ZZ TOP
Beer drinkers, hell raisers,
raunchy rabble rousers,
boogie blues kings: ZZ Top
has now been going strong
for more than 40 years.
While the lean rock, dirty
shuffles, sizzling swagger,
gutbucket grooves, and
hard rhythms of the trios
early Warner Bros. output
are a given, whats most
remarkable is the very same
characteristics define 2012s
exceptional La Futura. This is
a band that sizzles in analog.

Elvis Presley is often regarded to have had two career phasesthe early,
down-home singer and the latter, arena-conquering performer with a flair for the
grandiose. But as his well-deep catalog proves, hes much more complex, with
the LPs encompassing film soundtracks, early rock n roll, and more. Experience
Elvis as he was meant to be heard: in analog.

PATTY GRIFFIN Silver Bell

Seven years passed since Bonnie Raitt last debuted tunes, but as
2012s Slipstream makes clear, her quality-control measures have
few peers. A mix of originals and inspired covers, this soul- and
blues-doused LP is classic Raitt, with all the slide-guitar savvy and
gritty emotion youve come to expect from the living legend.

Of all the records Willie Nelson has released during his

more. Chemistry and conviction abound.

THE WHO The Studio Albums


Pete Townshend's windmill guitar chords. Roger Daltrey's
triumphant cries. John Entwistle's firm bass lines. Keith
Moon's inhuman drumming. Few rock bands mustered a
more powerful or enterprising career than The Who. From
the explosive 1965 debut My Generation through the 2006
comeback Endless Wire, the quartets albums ring true with
might, passion, and personality. Theyre all here, mastered
by Jon Astley and Miles Showell, with original LP artwork,
posters, inserts, and more.

THE CLASH

pressings that take the guesswork out of which import and domestic versions
are superior. Better still, The Clash, Sandanista!, and Combat Rock are back on
vinyl after long absences. Newly remastered from the original tapes, pressed
on audiophile-quality 180g LPs, and accompanied by faithfully recreated
artworkincluding the inner sleevesthe bands revolution rock sounds more

The Only Place finds SoCals Best Coast maturing in both sound
and perspective. Pairing with notable producer Jon Brion and
recording at Capitol Records' Studio B, the band expands its sonic
palette, bringing to hook-rich songs lingering percussive accents
and Bethany Cosentino's ever-stronger vocal timbre.

The self-titled debut by Crazy Horse is as close well come to


relishing guitarist Danny Whittens profound talents. Aided by
Jack Nitzsche, Ry Cooder, and Nils Lofgren, the group turns in a
gripping set of rock, blues, and country-stoked fare as timeless
now as when recorded in 1971.

likeable albeit touristy New Orleans formula by shaking it
up with blues-capable sidemen, mystical hoodoo, and Black
Keys member Dan Auerbach, who produces and plays a
mean, reverb-muddied guitar. A spicy musical gumbo.

Gary Clark Jr. was hailed as a blues savior before releasing


Blak and Blu. A flame-throwing guitarist with a mellowed-soul
voice, the ambitious musician shrugs off expectations on his
2012 full-length debut, scorched with equal parts intensity,
rawness, and menace. This Texas-based is the proverbial real
deal, armed with songs soaked in Delta tradition and modern,
distortion-laden textures.

Several Grammy awards removed from her collaboration with


Robert Plant, bluegrass darling Alison Krauss returned with
2011s chart-topping Paper Airplane. The vocalist/fiddler joins
with the incomparable Jerry Douglas and Co., crafting rootsy,
austere music as timeless as the sepia-toned album cover
and plaintive lyrics. A meeting of world-class musicianship,
impeccable engineering, and consummate sound.

LIZ PHAIR Exile in Guyville: 15th Anniversary Edition

26.99

Jerry Lee Lewis cut this hair-raising live set in Germany in 1964.
Demonstrative of the Killers piano-shaking, key-pounding, benchoverturning, amphetamine-fueled reputation, the performances on
this album come on as if they might catch on fire at any minute.

180G IMPORT LP // LIL8006 $24.99

Falsely promoted as a song-by-song response to Exile on


Mainstreet, Exile in Guyville is much more. Smart, savvy, and sexy,
the 1993 album broke down gender barriers while setting new
standards for bold songwriting. This remastered LP includes the
entire album on CD plus four bonus tracks.

Covers albums are seldom as revelatory as Low Country
Blues. Produced by T-Bone Burnett and laced with stellar
singing, it delves into R&B-soaked blues, Southern soul, and
deep folk, with songs arriving as personal expressions of
experienced wisdom and regret from a man who possesses
an intimate knowledge of such matters. Features Dr. John,
Jay Bellerose, Doyle Bramhall II, and more.

ST. VINCENT Strange Mercy

music designed to keep listeners wanting more. Her
protagonists keep their shady stories concealed inside dramatic
arrangements. Replete with contrast, the standout effort mirrors
the feeling of being human.

colorful characters that inhabit Tom Waits' wry tales of skid-row
adventures on 1976s Small Change. Waits and a crack jazz
trio create a rhythmic set of tunes that traverse jump blues to
lonesome piano ballads, channeling Americas underbelly and
ragtag spirits with unrivaled comprehension and detail.

The end-all-be-all thrash album, Reign In Blood tilted the scales


of what was possible in metal upon release in 1986, establishing
benchmarks for intensity, pace, power, extremity, musicianship,
songwriting, precision, and production. Like all of Slayers studio
records, its available on individual LP for the first time in ages.

Yes, this is it: The 2001 debut that thrust the American garagerock movement to the fore, and an album full of taut riffs, catchy
melodies, detached-cool singing, and nervous rhythms that grabs
New Yorks 70s punk and soulful new-wave by the scruff and
drags it into the now.

of the tension established between traditional acoustic folk

such differences to near-perfect effect, Anodyne is the altcountry forbearers definitive statement.

spectacular reissues ever released. A mastering engineer

breath of life out of recordings that all audiophiles crave. Along with
Kevin Gray, hes the primary engineer at Audio Fidelity. Dont miss
his magic touch on many of these exceptional 24K Gold Discs and
hybrid SACDs!

SPEED KINGS

AMERICA America
You might recognize America as the trio whose smash A Horse
With No Name is the song most often confused with being a Neil
Young tune. Such is the laidback charm, intimate aura, and warm,
Laurel Canyon folk-rock feeling present throughout the California
trios 1972 debut, reissued here on a pristine-sounding hybrid SACD
mastered by Steve Hoffman at Stephen Marsh Mastering. Just wait
until you hear those three-part harmonies now.

DEEP PURPLE The Audio Fidelity Gold Collection


Marking the final time Deep Purples four most exalted
records will be available on 24k Gold CD, The Audio
Fidelity Gold Collection contains the Steve Hoffman
remasters of In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, and Who
Do We Think We Areall recorded by the bands prized
Mark II lineup and out of print on Gold CD. Limited to 2000
copies, each metallic box is numbered and embossed. Do
not pass this up.

HYBRID SACD // CAUDSA167 $24.99

POCO Pickin Up the Pieces


Buffalo Springfield members Jim Messina and Richie Furay
spearhead a debut pregnant with fine country-rock interplay, oldtimey harmonizing, and bluegrass accents that belongs in the same
conversation as the Byrds Sweetheart of the Radio. Bassist Randy
Meisner, later of the Eagles, also contributes. Mastered by Steve
Hoffman, this is an instant audiophile classic.

RUSH Hemispheres
BOB DYLAN Greatest Hits Volume II

HYBRID SACD // CAUDSA158 $24.99

Rush worked for a longer time on its now-famous instrumental La


Villa Strangiato than it did on its sophomore album. The effort
was worth it. The exhilarating, incredibly ambitious track closes
Hemispheres, the final entirely prog-rock album of the trios career.
Adventurous, imaginative, epic, and smartly realized, the 1978
concept record juggles science-fiction concepts with flawless
performance. It sounds divine on this welcome hybrid SACD,
mastered by Kevin Gray.

Upping the ante of the first installment, Greatest Hits Volume


II is compiled by Bob Dylan and showcases the immense
range of his oeuvre throughout the 1960s. Five of the 21
songs hereWatching the River Flow, When I Paint My
Masterpiece, Tomorrow Is a Long Time includedarent
available elsewhere. Two appear as alternate versions.
Mastered by Steve Hoffman at Stephen Marsh Mastering, this
two-SACD set checks all the sonic boxes.

YES Close to the Edge


Released the same year as the equally acclaimed Fragile, 1972s
Close to the Edge hovers as Yes finest houra summation of the
complicated arrangements, mystic themes, epic concepts, art-rock
adventurousness, and virtuosic interplay for which its forever
valued. Ranked as one of the Top 100 Greatest Guitar Albums of All
Time by Guitar World, this album is a monster on SACD.

A bellwether vocal release, 1977s CSN explodes with


multipart harmonies, intimate acoustics, and breathtaking
melodies. In good spirits and great voice, the trio channels a
songwriting maturity and musical complexity that make the
record stand shoulder-to-shoulder with its groundbreaking
debut. Mastered by Steve Hoffman, this disc enchants with
limitless airiness harmonies and vivifying natural atmospherics.

ALSO AVAILABLE

Rush answered the bell concerning its relevance at the height


of the alt-rock era with 1993s Counterparts, the Canadian trios
most streamlined rock album since the late 70s. Guitar-based
and infused with potent lyrics, the effort says farewell to the
groups electronic experiments and puts the focus squarely on
the groove. If you missed it before, youre in luck: This hybrid
SACD sounds fantastic.

Carly Simon, David Grisman, David Sanborn, Linda Ronstadt,
Randy Newman, and Lowell George are among the honor-roll
guests that give this easygoing 1975 joyride flavor, flair, and

A coming-out party for the guitar tandem of Uli Jon Roth and
Rudolph Schenker, Virgin Killer established the Scorpions as
leading lights of the then-burgeoning heavy-metal scene. Harder
and faster than the quintets more commercialized 80s works, the
1976 set soars with falsetto melodies and an enthusiastic urgency
prevalent on each of the nine tracks. All killer, no filler.

ELTON JOHN Rock of the Westies


Elton John is known for many things, not the least of which is
his uncanny ability to draw from a vast musical spectrum and
succeed no matter what style he adopts. 1975s Rock of the
Westies serves as evidence of this phenomenon. Surveying
edgy rock, crossover disco, boogie, beat-driven blues, power
ballads, and practically everything in between, Sir Elton
continued his phenomenal hit streak.
GOLD CD // CAUD149 $24.99

JOE WALSH But Seriously, Folks


By the late 1970s, there was no doubt about the musician who
led the Eagles. Its resoundingly answered on Joe Walshs
1978 solo effortleagues better than his main groups output
at the time. Bolstered by the Top 10 staple Lifes Been Good,
this equally playfully sarcastic and seriously reflective set sees
the witty guitarist and vocalist at the top of his game. Ageless.

intensity and drama evident in Elvis voice. Includes a 4 x 5

KATHERINE JENKINS - FROM THE HEART

Want to impress a jazz aficionado? Next time a discussion


about great Blue Note sets comes up as a subject, casually
mention Thats Where Its At. The 1962 set should carry a
warningthats how hot and fiery Stanley Turrentine blows
throughout. His prime partner in crime, pianist Les McCann,
is equally motivated. Out of print for years, its a disc to savor.

CANDY

Balanced, textured, sensual, and intimate, Jennifer Warnes


sumptuous collection of cover songs stands as one of the
most exceptional-sounding female vocal records produced.
Boasting extravagant frequency extension, rich timbral
details, and crystalline tones, it brings Warnes pure-as-thedriven-snow voice to life with surreal realism.

BOB MARLEY Legend


The best-selling reggae album of all time with more than 25 million
copies sold worldwide, and without question a contender for the
most beloved greatest-hits collection ever assembled, Legend is
the one record you should own even if you never listen to reggae.
Such is the extent that Bob Marleys definitive songs transcend
genre, politics, borders, and beliefs. Is this love? Why yes, it is.

No compression, no compromise, unadulterated audiophile


sound: Blu-ray Pure Audio Discs deliver music in the fidelity
with which the artists heard it in the studio or onstage. Each
title is mastered from the original master tapes and provided in
24-bit/96k in three choices of audio formatPCM, Dolby True
HD, and DTS. All thats required is a Blu-ray player. No need for
an onscreen display, no need to invest in an unproven format.

In commemoration of the Worlds Greatest Rock and Roll


Band recently turning 50, Grrr! collects the ensembles
biggest and baddest hits from the past five decades50
songs recorded for ABKCO, Virgin, and Universal. Yeah,
were talking everything from the snappy Come On
through the nasty Rocks Off though the soulful Anybody
Seen My Baby?all from the original master tapes! Two
brand-new tracks are bonus catnip.

Flamboyant vocalist Freddie Mercury and smooth-toned guitarist


Brian May strike a righteous balance of excess, restraint, classicism,
pomp, seriousness, exaggeration, and multi-layered production
on 1975s A Night at the Opera. Ranked by practically every major
outlet and fan poll among the greatest rock albums ever, it contains
the immortal Bohemian Rhapsody.

The reputation of this groundbreaking 1970 record precedes


it. Eric Clapton performing in the studio with Duane Allman,
Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and more for the only time ever.
A batch of fire-pot blues, poignant gospel, and searing rock,
birthed from the leaders lust for another mans wife. One of
the most famous guitar solos and codas in history. No matter
how many times you hear it, this one never gets old.

If the fact that the jazzy title track to Nina Simones 1965 record
inspired the Beatles phrasing for the bridge of their Michelle
isnt enough to establish this sets immortal status, then perhaps
the singers spot-on interpretations of pop standards by the likes
of Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour further the case. Add
in large-band orchestration, brassy and bluesy vibes, and its a
deluge of musical brilliance.

A number-one record in the U.K., Supertramps Crime


of the Century takes off on Pink Floyds psychedelic
adventurousness and Steely Dans highbrow art-rock, and
blends in atmospheric pop for good measure. This is classic
70s music of the highest order, a dramatic statement made
superior by its thematic cover, subtle instrumental cues, and
prophetic world-weary narratives. Just wait until you hear
how realistic the orchestrations sound in HD.

Right from the start of Slowhand, Eric Clapton sets the tone
with the laidback shuffle Cocaine and spends the remainder
demonstrating why his mastery of blues, country, and rock went
unrivaled during the 70s. Recognized as the guitarists best
record, the 1977 set features numerous tunes (the lovely ballad
Wonderful Tonight) that remain part of Claptons shows to this
day. Hear them like never before on this dynamic digital pressing,
in stereo and surround.

THE KINKS
Its seldom been easier to acquire the bulk of one of the most important English
rock bands catalog in one swoop. By 1971, the Kinks outgrew the overdriven R&B
and blues that defined its initial albums. Rather than play it straight, the group
evolved, excitingly blending American cabaret, traditional pop, arena rock, country,
and folk into its sound. Starting with Muswell Hillbillies and continuing through
1984s Word of Mouth, the collective released a string of efforts that never fail to
surprise, delight, and inspire.

OUT-OF-PRINT MOBILE FIDELITY CLASSICAL

The crme de la crme of digital classical labels, Esoterics hybrid


SACDs are the ultimate in sound, packaging, and performance.
All of its releases restore much-beloved masterpiece recordings
and are DSD-mastered from the original analog tapes. Listeners
can enjoy the full-band frequency spectrum and distinct
symphonic interpretations with unparalleled intimacy. Marvelous.

Mobile Fidelity remembers the nearly forgotten treasures issued decades ago
by legendary classical imprint Vox. Recorded in quadraphonic sound, the albums
present standard-bearing compositions that benefit from fuller multichannel
perspectives. These tremendous-sounding SACD reissues take full advantage of
spaciousness, acoustics, and imaging, with the original four-channel mix and stereo
mix on the SACD layer and two-channel mix on the redbook layer. Out of print!

MILES DAVIS The Original Mono Recordings


Pure genius: Miles' first nine 12-inch Columbia releases,
newly remastered and presented in their original mono
mixes. Most of these albums, like 'Round About Midnight
and Porgy and Bess, are familiar standards. But 1958's Jazz
Track (with selections made for L'Ascenseur Pour L'Enchafaud
joining three other compositions) and 1964's Miles & Monk
at Newport (jazzed up with two separate live Newport
performances) give this mouth-watering box a duo of rarities,

(HYBRID SACD)

Fans that have experienced snippets of Bob Dylan and the


Bands 1969 Isle of Wight Festival performance already know
its a live spectacle to behold. Finally available in its entirety
only on the limited-edition box set of Dylans most celebrated
Bootleg Series release in more than a decade, it accompanies
the standard two-disc program, a newly remastered edition of
Self Portrait, and two eye-catching hardcover books packed
with revealing photos and percipient liner notes.

Newly remastered by the band members and award-winning


engineer Tim Young, the Clashs five indispensable studio albums
with the original lineup join three additional CDs loaded with
archival rarities, demos, non-album singles, and B-sides as well
as a DVD chock full of unseen footage. Sound System is just that,
a modern fan-first embodiment of why this UK group matters as
much today as it did in the late 70s.

Theyre here, and in previously unreleased uncut, unedited
mixes taken straight from the master recordingsand then
duplicated in a New Years Eve soundboard mix. Add in new
5.1 surround mixes on DVD, a 48-page hardbound book, and
essays, and this is the ultimate Band souvenir.
