Lowell Graham & National Symphonic Winds – Center Stage – Analogue Productions (Wilson Audiophile) Vinyl
From Wilson Audiophile Recordings comes Center Stage, featuring Lowell Graham conducting the National Symphonic Winds.
These recordings were made in a historic concert hall on the campus of Hampton University in Hampton Roads, Va. The history of the hall parallels somewhat New York’s Carnegie Hall. The musicians in the National Symphonic Winds come from the premier military bands of the United States as well as the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The result was a superb mix of seasoned and assured professionals for this single, five-hour recording session.

Charles Mingus – Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus 45RPM 180g Vinyl
45RPM 2 LP’s
“Mingus is also all about the ensemble…this reissue has a life and immediacy I’ve not heard before with this title, whose stunning music overwhelms any flaws of the recording.” – Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, June/July 2009 Produced by Impulse! A&R director Bob Thiele in 1963, this recording is a major showcase of the talented Charles Mingus as a bassist, pianist and writer. In his 1963 original liner notes, critic-at-large Nat Hentoff said that of all the musicians, it is impossible to remain indifferent to Mingus. This recording more than any other testifies to Hentoff’s claim. More so today than in 60’s, there is truly only one Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus.
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young – Deja Vu (2021 Remaster) Atlantic 180g Vinyl
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s Déjà Vu was the most-anticipated new album in America in 1970. More than 50 years later, it’s one of the most famous albums in rock history with legendary songs, including “Carry On,” “Teach Your Children,” “Our House” and “Woodstock” that still resonate today.
This groundbreaking album went on to be certified 7x platinum-selling in the U.S., platinum in France, and gold in Germany, Switzerland and the U.K.
Elvis Presley – Blue Hawaii – MoFi 180g 45RPM 2LP Vinyl
MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES AND PRESSED AT RTI
1/4″ / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
The old adage about Elvis Presley is that his soundtrack work never held a candle next to his studio albums. Though true for a majority of his film-related outings, the traditional notion is forever disproved by his Blue Hawaii set. Originally released in 1961 in support of the film in which he starred, the triple-platinum LP spent nearly five months at the top of the Billboard album charts; outsold his two prior studio efforts; and ultimately, remains the second-best-selling soundtrack of the musical-dominant 1960s. And now, it has received sonic treatment befitting rock royalty.

After living a number of years in the United States, GRAMMY® and ICMA Nominated Finnish violinist Petteri Iivonen returned to Europe where he became concertmaster of the Finnish Opera orchestra in Helsinki before moving to Paris to serve as concertmaster for the Paris Opera. Petteri’s ability to play in many styles with sincerity and his natural lyrical facility with his instrument made him the ideal candidate to work with luminary conductors such as Esa-Pekka Salonen in Helsinki and now Gustavo Dudamel at Paris Opera.

Mastered From The Original Analog Tapes And Pressed At Rti For Audiophile Sound
1/2″ / 30 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe Nobody could have predicted the impact Randy Travis’ proper debut would make on country music when it was released in 1986. Recorded by a virtually unknown singer-songwriter who had once been rejected by every major label, and bolstered by production and arrangements that spotlight Travis’ impeccable vocals, Storms of Lifespurred a stylistic sea change that would soon sweep Nashville and place the North Carolina native at the center of the neotraditionalist movement. More than three decades later, the LP’s brilliance looms larger than ever.
