£75.00

Genesis – Selling England By The Pound – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl

£75.00
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.

Foreigner – Foreigner – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl

£75.00
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.

The resulting album ranks arguably as Mingus’ most joyously swinging outing.

Roy Haynes – Out Of The Afternoon – Analogue Productions 180g Vinyl

£49.95
Released in the summer of 1962 on Impulse! Records, Out Of The Afternoon is an album by jazz drummer Roy Haynes. It features multi-instrumentalist Roland Kirk among the musicians in the Haynes Quartet.
Roy Haynes was just about everywhere in the golden age of jazz, recording classic albums with some of the most legendary names of the genre: Miles, Coltrane, Monk, Bud Powell, Sarah Vaughan, Sonny Rollins, Eric Dolphy, Milt Jackson, McCoy Tyner and Jackie McLean. The hard-bop-verging-on-post-bop Out Of The Afternoon is an excellent example of the adventurous spirit that was taking flight in the jazz world in the early 1960s.

Miles Davis – Seven Steps to Heaven – Mofi 180g SuperVinyl LP

£85.00
Sourced From The Original Analog Master Tapes And Pressed At Rti: Supervinyl Lp Plays With Superb Clarity, Detail, Tone, And Definition 1/4″ / 15 IPS / Dolby SR analog remix master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
Seven Steps to Heaven arrived at a crucial junction in Miles Davis’ career. Recorded at two separate locations in spring 1963, it served as Davis’ first release in more than a year – a layoff that was then unprecedented for the jazz visionary who had issued at least one LP a year since debuting in the early ’50s. Equally notable, Seven Steps to Heaven marks the point at which the core of Davis’ Second Great Quintet started to assemble. The twice Grammy-nominated effort is also Davis’ final studio record to blend standards with originals. And it happens to be one of the expressive, well-played albums in the jazz canon.

Jackie McLean – Demon’s Dance – Blue Note (Tone Poet) 180g Vinyl

£55.00
Jackie McLean’s music weaved in and out of the avant-garde throughout the 1960s with the brilliant 1963 inside-out dates One Step Beyond and Destination… Out! eventually leading to full-throated free jazz of the 1967 dates New and Old Gospel (featuring Ornette Coleman on trumpet) and ‘Bout SoulDemon’s Dance, which was recorded in December 1967, found the alto saxophonist maintaining a decidedly post-bop edge with a spirited quintet comprised of trumpeter Woody Shaw, pianist LaMont Johnson, bassist Scott Holt, and drummer Jack DeJohnette. The six-song set presented a pair of tunes each by McLean, Shaw, and composer Cal Massey with highlights including McLean’s churning title track, Shaw’s tuneful bossa “Sweet Love of Mine,” and Massey’s brightly swinging “Message from Trane” in tribute to the great John Coltrane who had passed away early that year. But the album’s most striking feature may be the unforgettable cover artwork by Mati Klarwein whose work also graced the cover of Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew.

Men at Work – Cargo – Mofi Vinyl

£49.95
CONTAINS TOP 10 HITS “IT’S A MISTAKE” AND “OVERKILL” 1/2″ / 30 IPS analog copy to analog console to lathe
Men at Work already had an album in the Top Ten when the Australian ensemble released Cargo, which continued the momentum gained by its record-setting debut. As ambitious and even more diversified than its initial salvo, the 1983 effort firmly established the band as new-wave pioneers – a group whose goofy playfulness, sharp hooks, brass accents, and memorable choruses helped define the decade’s landscape. Any doubts about Men at Work’s quirky sensibility were promptly answered by the iconic cover art gracing this multi-platinum set.

Jack Wilson – Easterly Winds – Blue Note (Tone Poet) 180g Vinyl

£55.00

Herbie Nichols Trio – Herbie Nichols Trio (Mono) – Blue Note (Tone Poet) 180g Vinyl

£36.00
Herbie Nichols was one of the most original pianists and composers in jazz history. Blue Note founder Alfred Lion considered him to be as unique and important a voice as Thelonious Monk, another singular talent who Lion was the first to record a few years before he signed Nichols in 1955. Little-known during his lifetime, recognition has begun to grow in recent decades for Nichols’ incredibly hip, angular compositions, each of which were miniature marvels built with their own sturdy inner logic.
