"The Who, Live At Leeds - 200 Gram"
THE WHO - LIVE AT LEEDS
This Limited Edition Audiophile 200 GRAM CLASSIC RECORDS HEAVY VINYL PRESSING. LONG OUT OF PRINT AND STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL FACTORY SEAL.
This Vinyl LP pressing has been critically acclaimed as the finest and quietest ever produced. It is a new listening experience that will virtually make you feel as if you were at Leeds with the artist.
This recording establishes the Band’s live prowess as one of the tightest Bands ever.
The best live rock album ever made" just about sums up the universal opinion of the first official live recording released by The Who. After repeated failed attempts on their 69-70 UK Tommy tour, the hall on the campus of Leeds University was intentionally scheduled for the main purpose of recording a live album. The results, although only six selections from a much longer performance, were a triumph.
Riding the crest of the Tommy album and their monumental appearance at the Woodstock Festival, the original quartet of Townshend, Daltrey, Entwhistle and Moon channeled Mose Allison, Eddie Cochran and Chad Allen with cover versions of Young Man Blues, Summertime Blues and Shakin’ All Over respectively, while delivering expanded and stripped down versions that turned their own Substitute, Magic Bus and My Generation inside-out.
A perfect mix, flaunting warts and all; amp noise, feedback and distortion…Who cares! This album ROCKS! All original artwork and packaging including all the "bits" are part of this Classic Records authentic reissue of the original Track UK release.
Cut from the original two track master tapes (amp lead pops and all) at Bernie Grundman Mastering by Chris Bellman on Classic's "All Tube" cutting system, this 200 GRAM Super Vinyl Profile pressing brings new insight into the genius in the nuance that has previously been obscured - even on original track pressings used for comparison in mastering. Recommendation not need - just buy it!
“The best live rock album ever made.” – The New York Times, 1970.
Selections:
1. Young Man Blues
2. Substitute
3. Summertime Blues
4. Shakin' All Over
5. My Generation

"Coleman Hawkins, Night Hawk - 180 Gram/45 speed"
45 Speed 180 Gram Limited Edition Analog Virgin Vinyl
Coleman Hawkins is frequently identified as the father of the tenor saxophone. Technically, of course, that honor goes to Adolphe Sax, but Hawkins unquestionably gave rebirth to an instrument that had for decades been valuable primarily as a novelty device. Because of his illuminating artistry, over the decades he became the forebear of hundreds of tenor stylists. In this collaboration with Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Hawkins encounters one of his most illustrious spiritual descendants. With a perfect rhythm section headed by pianist Tommy Flanagan, the two tenor men prove that when great artists meet on the common ground of the jazz tradition, there is never a generation gap.

Album notes
Personnel include: Dusty Springfield (vocals); Reggie Young (guitar, sitar); Tommy Cogbill (guitar, bass instrument); Bobby Emmons (electric piano, organ, congas); Gene Chrisman (drums); Mike Leech (congas); The Sweet Inspirations (background vocals).
Recording information: American Studios, Memphis, Tennessee; Groove Sound Studio, New York, New York.
Not only is this Dusty's finest work, it is unanimously acknowledged as one of the great soul albums. The secret is in the production. Jerry Wexler, Tommy Dowd, and Arif Mardin enlisted the Sweet Inspirations and the best Memphis session boys for vocal support. Dusty's selection of material is exemplary, choosing songs by Randy Newman, Mann/Weill, Goffin/King, and Bacharach/David. This should have made her an international megastar; instead it scraped the US Top 100, failed to chart in the UK, and started her slow decline. It is a faultless record on which we have, thankfully, now recognized she was far too ahead of her time for her own good.
Editorial reviews

"Shelly Manne & His Men, More Swingin' Sounds"
Factory Sealed Classic Analog LP Pressing.
The 1956 edition of Shelly Manne's Men is heard in an all-originals program: Charlie Parker's swinging "Rhythm"-based "Moose the Mooche" (including Bird's chorus from his Dial recording); Johnny Mandel's "Tommyhawk," a volatile minor-key swinger; and two from within the band's ranks, Russ Freeman's tender, brooding "The Wind," and Charlie Mariano's deep-dish, nine-minute "Pint of Blues." The piece de resistance is the 15-minute suite in four parts, "Quartet," by Bill Holman. The composer explains that while it "corresponds broadly to the four movements of the classical sonata form," it has not been used "because it is a classical form but because it has proven itself, though centuries of use, capable of supporting (as framework) a composition of this length."

"Coleman Hawkins, Good Old Broadway"
COLEMAN HAWKINS - GOOD OLD BROADWAY – 45 RPM SEALED 2 LP SET LIMITED EDITION NUMBERED #140 OF THE 1000 PIECES EVER PRESSED. Sold Out Forever Last Copy.
Here's How it was done:
Using only the original analog master tapes, the renowned team of Steve Hoffman & Kevin Gray remastered and cut all of the titles at AcousTech Mastering, which features a pure Class-A disc-cutting system. AcousTech is located at Record Technology, Inc. the plant where the vinyl was pressed. It is a tremendous sonic advantage to have the pressing plant plating department & mastering room in the same facility as Steve & Kevin could cut a lacquer and plated immediately. This prevents the degradation of the grooves in a lacquer which is very fragile to quick deterioration.
And of course cutting at 45 speed is the audiophile choice for the highes quality. A 45-RPM record is sonically superior to a 33 1/3 variety because of a 35 percent reduction of groove curvature compared to a 33 1/3 cut.. It means that while you can't fit as much music into a 45, the undukations of the groove that your cartridge has to track are stretched over a longer distance. For these reissues, the music was displaced onto four sides, meaning each side contains about 10 minutes of music.
This is the ultimate reissues. The only way you'll get closer to this classic music is to listen to the master tapes or have been in the studio with the artist originally during the actual session.
45 Speed – 2 Sealed LP Set – #140
The Hawk at his finest with features like "A Fellow Needs A Girl" and a version of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." Hawkins, of course, is on tenor sax. He's joined by Tommy Flanagan on piano, Major Holly Jr. on bass, and Eddie Locke on drums.

45 Speed – 2 Sealed LP Set – At Prestige, Gene Ammons basically did two types of sessions: a jamming situation with several other all-star horns; or a quartet format featuring a top-flight rhythm section behind him. Whatever the setting, "Jug" as he was nicknamed, displayed that dominant trait held in common with other giants in the grand history of his chosen instrument, the tenor saxophone-the ability to tell a story. Here are the blues, the ballads, Charlie Parker's "Confirmation," and Eddie Heywood's "Canadian Sunset." The latter had Been a hit for its pianist-composer and was again for Ammons. An added feature here is the addition of jazz-oriented conga player, Ray Barretto, to the piano, bass, and drums of Tommy Flanagan, Doug Watkins, and Arthur Taylor.

"Kenny Wayne Shepherd, 10 Days Out"
KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD - 10 DAYS OUT . Limited Edition classic DOUBLE LP SET.
10 Days Out…Blues From The Backroads documents the voyage of blues guitar great Kenny Wayne Shepherd as he travels the country to jam with, interview and generally pay homage to the last of the authentic blues greats. Beginning in New Orleans and ending with a grand finale concert at Acoustic Sounds' own Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, Kansas, Shepherd's pilgrimage is a perfect lens into blues history and with absolutely exceptional cinematography and editing (on the CD/DVD version only). This is a major-league production about what all too often is treated as a minor-league genre.
The guitar-slinger Shepherd, along with the Double Trouble rhythm section of Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton, begins in New Orleans, where they meet with Clarence "Gatemouth Brown" and Bryan Lee. Their tour busses rumble north to Shepherd's hometown of Shreveport where he and Buddy Flett jam at Leadbelly's graveside. They continue on into Mississippi to perform with B.B. King in his hometown of Indianola. Then it's over to Alabama to visit the home of Jerry "Boogie" McCain. The tour continues into rural North Carolina to meet with the Piedmont blues masters Cootie Stark, Neil Pattman, John Dee Holeman and Etta Baker. They turn West to jam with the great Henry Townsend in his St. Louis living room along with Honeyboy Edwards, who came down from Chicago for the session. Finally, the production ends at Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, KS. There, Kenny performs with surviving members of Muddy Waters' and Howlin' Wolf's bands. The concert included Pinetop Perkins, Bob Margolin, Calvin "Fuzz" Jones, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Henry Gray and Hubert Sumlin along with guests Wild Child Butler, Lazy Lester, Jimmy D. Lane, Double Trouble and Noah Hunt. The performances are absolutely legendary and the beauty of the old church sanctuary with a revved up "congregation" is truly something to behold. 10 Days Out... is a no-brainer for any blues fan, but it's also the perfect introduction to the blues. And consider for historic sake that since this filming in June 2004, six of the legends documented within have died, making 10 Days Out... a crucial artifact in all future generations' explorations into such an integral part of American music history.
Now, the incredible music captured on this once-in-a-lifetime voyage is available for us vinyl-loving blues fans.

"Sonny Rollins, Saxophone Colossus - DCC Factory Sealed 24 Karat Gold CD"
SONNY ROLLINS - SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS - a Long Out Of Print DCC Sealed 24 Karat Limited Edition Gold CD - simply one of the Rarest Limited Edition Jazz Gold CD Pressings in existence.
Please notice the unique packaging that exhibits the Gold CD and Original LP cover inside the Factory Seal. This expensive standard of quality package is only found in these 24-Karat Gold Masterpiece.
One of the pivotal recordings in bringing about the wide-spread acceptance of SONNY ROLLINS as a major figure, SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS inspired critics to write scholarly analyses and fans to revel in hard swinging invention, humor, and tender strength balladry. Up to this Album, while most musicians recognize Rollins as one of the new influential forces in the Jazz of the fifties, most critics were carping at Rollins or damning him with feint praise. “St. Thomas” a traditional West Indian melody which Mal Waldron remembered as “The Carnival” was recorded by many artists after Sonny introduced it here. It remains a Jazz standard today. The contributions of Tommy Flanagan’s eloquent swing, Doug Watkin’s steady lift, and Max Roach’s most musical accompaniment and soloing make this a landmark album.
The recording engineer for this session was Rudy Van Guelder
Songs also included are - YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS - STURODE ROAD - MORITAT (from the THREE PENNY OPERA) - BLUE 7.

"The Who, My Generation - 150 Gram - CURRENTLY SOLD OUT"
THE WHO – MY GENERATION - This Limited Edition Audiophile Mastered LP (from the Original Session Tapes) was mastered to a 150 Gram Heavy Vinyl LP and has been critically acclaimed as the finest and quietest ever produced of this recording. It is a new listening experience that will virtually make you feel as if you were in the studio
My Generation, The Who's first album, has little of the roaring, raging quartet heard on Who's Next, Live At Leeds and Quadrophenia. But the Mod-fueled, American R&B-inspired sense of ambitious pop that powers A Quick One, Sell Out and even Tommy isn't so hard to find here.

Comes with sleeves similar to Vinyl LPs, Cardboard packaging like an ORIGINAL LP. Actual miniaturized version of the 12” LP in 4” CD version.
Japanese Limited Edition Issue of the Album Classic in a Deluxe, Miniaturized LP Sleeve Replica of the Original Vinyl Album Artwork - Ry broke into the digital technology early in the game, a pioneer. Interestingly, Ry was also one of the first out of the gate to digitalize his early releases, and we're fortunate for it. This release was pivital in 1972, and just as ground breaking in the CD format. Ry cataloged a variety of styles here, renditions of folk songs, delta, progressive blues... all with the originality and sparkle of Ry Cooder's slide guitar style. Profoundly original.
Cherry Ball Blues is my very favorite release, slide guitar, tablas, bass and a few more interesting bits and pieces put together in a tasteful acoustic fusion.
What really brings this release together is the bass playing of Tommy McClure. I really dig his style. Randy Newman is present, Sleepy John Estes (Ax sweet mama, President Kennedy), Jim Keltner on drums, a a few more. Really thoughtful and inspiring musicality. The liner notes don't really add much history behind the recording, but perhaps a quick search will bring together a bit of the studio log, and events associated with the "album."
This release and myself have a history. I bought it in 1972 on vinyl LP, scratched it all up, found another LP at a Flea Market then FINALLY, and thank you Ry, the digital version on CD came out. It won't disappoint.
