Dream With Dean – The Intimate Dean Martin – 45RPM Vinyl
Duke Ellington & John Coltrane – Duke Ellington & John Coltrane 180g Analogue Productions Vinyl
“The soundstage is intimate and inviting, Webster’s horn beautifully captured with sweet, rich overtornes, the bass liquid, chugging, and textured, piano and drums easy and natural. As with each title, the music emerges from QRP’s beautifully flat and wonderfully silent surfaces with that much more “there-ness.” Sonics = 4/5; Music = 3.5/5 — Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, January 2013
Duke Ellington/Johnny Hodges – Back to Back – Analogue Productions 2x45RPM 200g LP
Several times in his career star alto-saxophone soloist Johnny Hodges struck out on his own, only to return each time to Duke Ellington's band. There seemed to be a constant tension between them, though it was old hat by the time of this recording. In the enclosed notes, critic Michael Ullman examines this complex relationship, suggesting that the blues classics chosen for this program may have been neutral ground. A place where Ellington's unique piano playing could come to the fore and Hodges' irrepressible sensuality could have free rein. This is one of the very best small-group records Ellington ever made — a relaxed, perfectly integrated set of music that truly swings the blues.
Dusty Springfield – Dusty In Memphis – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
Dusty Springfield shares rarified air with the top soul/R&B queens of the post-WWII era — Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and others.
Originally released in 1969, the concept for Dusty In Memphis was to take England’s reigning female soul queen to the home of the music which had inspired her. Produced by Atlantic’s Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin and engineered by Tom Dowd, the record’s highlights include “Son Of A Preacher Man,” “So Much Love,” “Breakfast In Bed,” “Just One Smile,” “I Don’t Want To Hear It Anymore” and “Just A Little Lovin'”.
Ella Fitzgerald – Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie! – Analogue Productions Vinyl LP
“…these are all truly classic Verve titles that you simply don’t want to miss…most importantly, the sound of these reissues is nothing short of astounding. Particularly the early Billie and Ella mono records are incredible treasures of sonic beauty. I’d definitely ask Santa for the whole set, or, if you want to cherry pick, the most classic titles. Whatever you decide, you owe yourself at least a half dozen!” Winner of a 2012 Positive Feedback Online Writers’ Choice Award – Danny Kaey, Positive Feedback Online, November/December 2011
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong – Ella and Louis (Mono Version) – Analogue Productions 180g 45RPM Vinyl
2013 Stereophile Record To Die For (R2D4)!
Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound "If you're a jazz-following audiophile, go buy this right away. Flummoxed by the $90 price tag? How much would you pay for the most palpable illusion you'll ever experience that Pops and the First Lady of Song are back among the living—standing, breathing, singing, and blowing, right in front of you? ... It's the only QRP Verve I've heard so far, but if it's a harbinger of things to come, it's what Satch would call a mitzvah!" — Fred Kaplan, www.stereophile.com, December 2011
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong – Ella & Louis – Analogue Productions 180g Stereo Vinyl
It is undeniable that Billie Holiday’s singing changed in her later years. Her voice darkened and shifted to a lower range. Her economy of means distilled her sound to its expressive essence — a kind of heightened speech. The classic LP Songs For Distingue Lovers has also deepened and become burnished with time. Maybe it’s that still-arresting word, “distingue”; maybe it’s that iconic, tinted image of Lady Day on the cover. But now that legendary LP, with the singer’s best studio work of the Fifties, is available through the Acoustic Sounds Series.

Sound Quality = 95% out of 100% - Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News, December 2010
