Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill –UD1S 180g 45RPM SuperVinyl 2LP Box Set Mofi Vinyl
Blockbuster Alanis Morissette Album Transcends Generations: 17-Million-Selling Jagged Little Pill Features Five Hit Singles, Including “You Oughta Know” and “Ironic”
1995 Record Presented in Audiophile Sound for the First Time for Its 30th Anniversary: Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP Box Set Is Strictly Limited to 4,000 Numbered Copies
1/2" / 30 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe When Alanis Morissette took direct aim at an ex who wronged her on the eviscerating “You Oughta Know” in 1995, everything about the Top 10 song communicated it wasn’t the usual narrative about love gone south. Or the typical wounded singer wallowing in self pity. Morissette, and both the lead single from and her entire American major-label debut — the profoundly personal Jagged Little Pill — represented a sea change. They kickstarted a movement, one whose impact continues to echo throughout the mainstream nearly three decades later.
The Velvet Underground – Loaded – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series Hybrid SACD
NOW BACK IN STOCK
Loaded is the sort of proper album that feels like a greatest hits collection, with each track thoroughly inhabiting and mastering a dominant rock archetype. Although the songs “Sweet Jane” and “Rock & Roll” distinguished the band as a “seminal proto-punk” act, “The trifecta of ‘Who Loves the Sun,’ ‘Sweet Jane’ and ‘Rock & Roll’ is among the best three-song openings on any rock and roll record,” wrote Paste contributor Jeff Gonick

Prestige All Stars, The Tenor Conclave – Analogue Productions 180g Vinyl LP
This unusual meeting of four tenor saxophone players from different “schools” was part of the Prestige Friday afternoon jam session series but far from a typical outing. The giant forebears of Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, and Charlie Parker inform the backgrounds of the performers on this LP — Hank Mobley, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, and John Coltrane — and other influences such as Ben Webster, Dexter Gordon, and the Sonnys (Stitt and Rollins) show up, too, depending on which of the four protagonists you’re talking about.
Ike & Tina Turner – Feel Good – Pure Pleasure Records 180g Vinyl LP
“Feel Good” is quintessentially ’70s – the fuzztoned funk practically conjures up platform shoes and mile-wide collars – but it doesn’t belong to any one sound, it casually draws from Southern soul, James Brown funk, black pride, “Superfly” style and juke joint R&B, a sound that is uniquely identified with Ike & Tina. And while this contains no flat-out classics like “Nutbush City Limits” or “Proud Mary” as an album “Feel Good” undoubtedly ranks among their very best: it’s a non-stop party.
