Bob Dylan – Good As I Been To You – MOBILE FIDELITY SACD
A Visionary Survey of American Music and its Vast Landscapes: Tours Swing, Blues, Country, Folk, and Vaudeville En Route to Becoming a Roots-Rock Landmark
Bob Dylan’s Love and Theft is a visionary train ride through the vast American landscape and all its hills, valleys, mountains, river towns, and urban and rural settlements. As they burrow into villages and barrel across trestle bridges, the 2001 record’s songs introduce us to outlaws, outliers, gamblers, brawlers, tricksters, bootleggers, and scoundrels. It is, in effect, a commanding survey of and plunge into American music. Named the best album of the year by Rolling Stone and the Village Voice‘s Pazz & Jop Critics Poll, anointed the second-best album of the decade by Newsweek, and later declared the 385th Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, Love and Theft remains the Nobel Laureate’s finest effort since 1975’s Blood on the Tracks – and an extension of the jesting, imagery, and free-form looseness present on his seminal 1960s works. Now, it possess knock-out sound.

Duke Ellington/Johnny Hodges – Back to Back – Analogue Productions 2x45RPM 200g LP
Several times in his career star alto-saxophone soloist Johnny Hodges struck out on his own, only to return each time to Duke Ellington's band. There seemed to be a constant tension between them, though it was old hat by the time of this recording. In the enclosed notes, critic Michael Ullman examines this complex relationship, suggesting that the blues classics chosen for this program may have been neutral ground. A place where Ellington's unique piano playing could come to the fore and Hodges' irrepressible sensuality could have free rein. This is one of the very best small-group records Ellington ever made — a relaxed, perfectly integrated set of music that truly swings the blues.

Train – Drops of Jupiter – Mofi SACD
Triple-Platinum Train Album Awarded Two Grammy Awards: Drops Of Jupiter Contains The Hits "Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me)" And "She's On Fire"
Sourced From The Original Master Tapes And Strictly Limited To 2,000 Numbered Copies: Hybrid Sacd Plays With Openness, Airiness, And Smoothness
New Release SACD Very Limited, Only 2,000 Numbered Copies!
There's definitely nothing wrong with echoing classic rock and harmonic pop sounds, especially when it's done this well. Drops of Jupiter, Train's two-time Grammy-winning 2001 album, revels in sweeping hooks and soulful comfort borrowed from proven 70s methods. Remarks of jealous critics aside, the approach resonated with the public and made Train a ubiquitous presence of mainstream radio, a status the group still enjoys.
Miles Davis – A Tribute to Jack Johnson – 180g 33RPM Mofi SuperVinyl
IN STOCK NOW!
The “Greatest Rock And Roll Band You Have Ever Heard”: Miles Davis, John Mclaughlin, And Co. Merge Electric Fusion And Defiant Rock On The Funky, Freeing A Tribute To Jack Johnson
Sourced From The Original Analog Master Tapes: Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition 180G Supervinyl Lp Presents 1971 Landmark In Exuberant, Full-Range Sound
Miles Davis' A Tribute to Jack Johnson is the best jazz-rock record ever made. Equally inspired by the leader's desire to assemble the "greatest rock and roll band you have ever heard,” his adoration of Johnson, and Black Power politics, Davis created a hard-hitting set that surges with excitement, intensity, majesty, and power. Bridging the electric fusion he'd pursued on earlier efforts with a funkier, dirtier rhythmic approach, Davis zeroes in on concepts of spontaneity, freedom, and identity seldom achieved in the studio — and just as infrequently accepted by the mainstream.
Genesis – Foxtrot – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
Genesis – Nursery Cryme – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
Genesis’ album Nursery Cryme, released in November 1971, marked a significant moment in the band’s evolution and showcased the burgeoning talents of their new drummer and vocalist, Phil Collins, plus guitarist Steve Hackett.
Nursery Cryme saw the band take a more aggressive direction of some songs, with substantially improved drumming. The opening piece, “The Musical Box” combined the band’s trademark mix of twelve-string guitars with harsh electric guitars and keyboards. The song, a macabre fairy story set in Victorian Britain, became the inspiration for the album cover, and went on to be a live favorite.

IN STORE NOW!
Described by AllMusic as the standard-bearer for post-alternative rock 'n' roll because of its '90s production dynamics, while still holding true to its classic rock core, Yourself or Someone Like You — the debut album from Matchbox Twenty — features sturdy songs and fairly strong hooks, all delivered forcefully with lead singer-songwriter Rob Thomas's distinctive bravado.
Otis Redding – The Dock Of The Bay – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series Hybrid Stereo SACD
The guts of the story are this: While on tour with the Bar-Kays in August 1967, Otis Redding’s popularity was rising, and he was inundated with fans at his hotel in downtown San Francisco. Looking for a retreat, he accepted rock concert impresario Bill Graham’s offer to stay at his houseboat at Waldo Point in Sausalito, California. Inspired, Redding started writing the lines, “Sittin’ in the morning sun, I’ll be sittin’ when the evening comes” and the first verse of a song, under the abbreviated title “Dock of the Bay.”
