Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath – Rhino Records 180G Vinyl LP
Available to Pre-Order
"Black Sabbath's debut album is the birth of heavy metal as we now know it. Compatriots such as Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple were already setting new standards for volume and heaviness in the realms of psychedelia, blues-rock, and prog rock. Yet of these metal pioneers, Sabbath are the only one whose sound today remains instantly recognizable as heavy metal, even after decades of evolution in the genre. Guitarist Tony Iommi's loss of two fingertips, which required him to play slower and to slacken the strings by tuning his guitar down, created Sabbath's signature style. These qualities set the band apart, but they weren't wholly why this debut album transcends its clear roots in blues-rock and psychedelia to become something more. Sabbath's genius was finding the hidden malevolence in the blues, and then bludgeoning the listener over the head with it." — AllMusic
Sara K. – Hobo – Chesky Records 180G Vinyl LP

Alongside ten original numbers – including the poignant ‘Moving Big Picture’ and the gorgeously meditative title track – Sara K. covers Rodgers & Hammerstein’s perennial show tune favorite ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone,’ and a surprising revamp of ‘Brick House,’ ‘The Commodores’ ’70s funk classic. A stunning showcase for Sara K’s unique artistry.
This audiophile classic is reissued on 180gram One Step Pressing LP

DS Audio factory tour 2022
Creating the future of analog music
Founded in Japan in 2013 DS Audio have introduced a radical new cartridge design which does away with magnets and coils! In contrast to moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) cartridges, which work on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the DS-W1 uses an optical system to convert stylus/cantilever movements into audio signals. The advantage of this system is that it completely eliminates the electromagnetic frictional force that is a ‘fact of life’ in all MM and MC designs.
