Oscar Peterson Trio with Milt Jackson – Very Tall – Verve Records 180g Vinyl
Scott Yanow of AllMusic says in his 4-Star review of Very Tall: “This first matchup on records between pianist Oscar Peterson and vibraphonist Milt Jackson was so logical that it is surprising it did not occur five years earlier. Originally recorded for Verve and three decades later reissued on this audiophile CD by Mobile Fidelity, the quartet set (which also includes bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) swings as hard as one might expect. Highlights include ‘On Green Dolphin Street,’ ‘The Work Song,’ ‘John Brown’s Body’ (a jam on ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic’) and ‘Reunion Blues.’ Fortunately O.P. and Bags would meet up on records many times in the future (particularly during their Pablo years) but this first effort is a particularly strong set.”

Dr. John – In The Right Place – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
IN STOCK!
In The Right Place is the sixth, and biggest-selling album of the late iconic music legend, six-time Grammy-winner, and Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Dr. John. Dr. John, the stage name of Malcolm John Rebennack, Jr., was one of the most original, distinctive and influential voices to ever come out of New Orleans. His career spanned six decades as a songwriter, composer, producer and performer. His unique blend of music carried his hometown of New Orleans at its heart.
Foreigner – Foreigner – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
IN STOCK!
Arena rock heroes Foreigner crushed with their 1977 self-titled album debut, spawning some of the biggest FM hits of that year, including the anthemic “Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold as Ice,” both of which were anchored — like most of Foreigner’s songs — by the muscular but traditional riffing of guitarist Mick Jones, the soaring vocals of Lou Gramm, and the state-of-the-art rock production values of the day, which AllMusic reviewer Andy Hinds says allowed the band to sound hard but polished.

Genesis – Selling England By The Pound – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
IN STOCK NOW!
Recorded in August 1973 — the tour for Foxtrot (1972) having ended in May of that year — Genesis’ members joined for a short time to write new material which covered a number of themes, including the loss of English folk culture and an increased American influence. Hence the inspiration for the title Selling England by the Pound.
Several tracks from the album became fan favorites and were featured as a regular part of the band’s live setlist well into the 1980s. “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe),” was released in February 1974 and became the band’s first top 30 hit in the U.K. In 2012, the album ranked seventh in Rolling Stone’s “Readers’ Poll: Your Favorite Prog Rock Albums of All Time.” Selling England by the Pound reached No. 3 on the U.K. charts and No. 70 on the U.S. Billboard Pop Albums chart.
Bruce Springsteen – Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. Mofi SACD
SOURCED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES: HYBRID SACD PLAYS WITH AUDIOPHILE SOUND
Teeming with identifiable characters, youthful romanticism, vivid narratives, and sophisticated arrangements, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. is a personal postcard from the heart, soul, and mind of a rock 'n' roll lifer bent on discovering his world and what lays beyond it. The 1973 album establishes many of the signature themes and sounds Bruce Springsteen would embrace throughout his unparalleled career. No wonder a majority of the songs – "Blinded by the Light," "Lost in the Flood," "Spirit in the Night" included – remain staples of the New Jersey native's fabled concerts.
