Howard McGhee – Maggie’s Back In Town! – Contemporary Records (Acoustic Sounds Series) 180g Vinyl
Just in time for summer comes this reissue featuring the criminally unsung Howard McGhee, the dexterous bebop trumpeter who's frequently compared to greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Fats Navarro. Maggie's Back in Town!! (Maggie was McGhee's nickname), captures the musician's triumphant return to music in 1961. AllMusic rates the album as, "McGhee's finest recording of the period." He overachieves in rhythmic fluidity, a through line that's particularly potent in seemingly carefree songs such as "Sunset Eyes" and the title track.
This new edition, released as part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series, features (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman and is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP, and presented in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.
Run DMC – Run DMC – Mofi 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP
The Album That Invented Hardcore Hip-Hop: Run-D.M.C. Changed The Sound Of Music And Popular Culture
Run-D.M.C.'S 1984 Debut Benefits From Restorative Treatment On Mobile Fidelity's 180G Supervinyl 33Rpm Lp: Limited To 3,000 Numbered Copies, Includes New Liner Notes
1/2" / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
The impact, influence, and importance of Run-D.M.C.'s self-titled debut – the album that invented hardcore hip-hop and bridged rap, rock, and funk in then-unparalleled ways – cannot be measured. The first full-length record released by Profile Records, the 1984 set permanently changed the sound of music, broadcast streetwise wisdom to every corner of the country, and made the notion of a one-man band a distinct reality. Bolstered by an incendiary blend of staccato deliveries, stark beats, aggressive exchanges, evocative hooks, and socially conscious messages, Run-D.M.C. still hits listeners in the jaw with the same intensity it did nearly 40 years ago when it could be heard booming from ghetto blasters carried around city blocks nationwide.
Diana Krall – When I Look Into Your Eyes (Acoustic Sounds) 180g 2LP Gatefold Sleeve
Krall’s fifth studio album made a mark as the first jazz album in 25 years to garner a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.
Tommy LiPuma elevates Krall’s sound along the lines of Nat King Cole with an orchestral stamp on eight out of 12 tracks.
It doesn’t take strings, though, to showcase Diana Krall as a hopeless romantic. She does that well enough on her own.
Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
