Johnny Hodges – Blues A Plenty Analogue Productions 200g 45RPM Vinyl
One of the giants of the alto saxophone, Johnny Hodges was perhaps the most important soloist and sideman in Duke Ellington's orchestra from 1928 up to Hodges' death in 1970. The self-taught player made many solo forays during his long career - one of his '50s outfits included a young John Coltrane - but history remembers Hodges for his virtuosic sidemanship, particularly his sensitive rendering of ballads.

Joy Division – Unknown Pleasures – Vinyl LP
Joy Division ā Unknown Pleasures Vinyl LP: Post-Punk Atmosphere, Pressed for Analogue Depth
Minimal. Iconic. Utterly Immersive.
Released in 1979, Unknown Pleasures stands as one of the most influential debut albums in alternative music. With Martin Hannettās signature spacious production and Joy Divisionās restrained, emotionally charged performances, the album created a blueprint for post-punk that still resonates today. Ian Curtisās voice cuts through the cold textures with urgent vulnerability, while the bandās tight, pulsing instrumentation builds an unrelenting, hypnotic soundscape.
This vinyl edition honours the stark sonic architecture of the original recording. Peter Hookās melodic bass lines, Stephen Morrisās crisp drumming, and Bernard Sumnerās sharp guitar tones are rendered with clarity and atmosphere, while the pressing captures every reverb-drenched nuance of Hannettās production. Played on a revealing system, Unknown Pleasures is not just heardāitās felt.
A vital record in the evolution of modern music, this pressing is the definitive way to experience Joy Divisionās dark brilliance in full analogue form

Julie London ā Latin In A Satin Mood ā Analogue Productions 200g Vinyl
Analogue Productions has brought back Julie London sings Latin In A Satin Mood in dramatic, deserving fashion. Remastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, and plated and pressed on 200-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, the crispness and vibrancy of this recording is spectacular.
Exotic and Latin albums were big deals in the 1950s and early ā60s, and singers as diverse as Dean Martin, Lena Horne, and Peggy Lee were recording with castanets and bongo drums. Like Peggy Lee, London combines a restrained vocal approach with jazz phrasing and a cool attitude with icy sex appeal on this album of relaxing Latin standards. Julie does look beautiful on the cover, and the backup male āmariachi-esqueā serenade ads to the romantic ambiance.

Kebā Moā ā Kebā Moā Pure Pleasure Records
Kebā Moās self-titled debut is an edgy, ambitious collection of gritty country blues. Kebā Moā pushes into new directions, trying to incorporate some of the sensibilites of the slacker revolution without losing touch of the tradition that makes the blues the breathing, vital art form it is. His attempts arenāt always successful, but his gutsy guitar playing and impassioned vocals, as well as his surprisingly accomplished songwriting, make Kebā Moā a debut to cherish.

Khachaturian Gayne Ballet Suite 2LP 45rpm 180g Vinyl LSO Fistoulari Everest Classic Records
Rarely has a record label been so influential and so associated with trend-setting recording techniques for its time as Everest Records. Hollywood sound man Harry Belock and audio dealer-engineer Bert Whyte started the label as the stereo era dawned. They acquired 3-channel 35mm magnetic film recording equipment in 1959, and through the early '60s recorded in this fashion, as did Mercury Records.
