Aretha Franklin – Young, Gifted And Black
87,00 €Add to cartAretha Franklin — Young, Gifted and Black Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Features the chart-topping ballad "Day Dreaming" 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Released on Atlantic Records in 1972, Young, Gifted and Black is Aretha Franklin's acclaimed 18th studio album. The album was recorded between 1970 and 1971 at Atlantic Studios in New York City and Criteria Studios in Miami. This is a beautiful album that perfectly mixes both sides of Aretha Franklin's talents — the hard-edged soul singer who first flourished at Atlantic Records in the late '60s, and the artist who was growing even more as a vocalist — really reaching out her wings to more sophisticated material! The record teams Franklin with some of the best musicians of the day, including Billy Preston, Donny Hathaway, and Bernard Purdie — with backing vocals provided by Franklin's sisters, Carolyn and Erma, as well as The Sweet Inspirations. There's a balance here that makes the record one of the deepest that Franklin ever recorded for Atlantic — lots of larger Arif Mardin touches, but also some raw moments that really round things out — on titles that include Aretha's classic take on the Weldon Irvine/Nina Simone tune "Young Gifted & Black," the funky classic "Rock Steady," the wonderful mellow groover "Day Dreaming," the hit "Brand New Me," and the strangely compelling "First Snow In Kokomo." Lacquers cut by Kevin Gray/Cohearent Audio at 45 RPM, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, and housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing.

Cobham was fresh off his success with the Mahavishnu Orchestra when he recorded Spectrum.

SACD Bob Marley and The Wailers – Rastaman Vibration
SACD44,00 €Add to cartBob Marley & The Wailers — Rastaman Vibration Hybrid Stereo SACD release from Analogue Productions Mastered Direct To DSD by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from the original master tape Plays in all CD and SACD players When Rastaman Vibration was first released in America in 1976 it did what some in the music industry considered nearly impossible at the time. It took Bob Marley into the Top Ten alongside disco records and corporate rock, points out Rolling Stone, which rates the album 4 stars. Despite the good cheer of the title track and the upbeat "Roots, Rock, Reggae," Rastaman Vibration contains some of Marley's most intense images of oppression, paranoia and despair. Tracks such as "Who the Cap Fit," "Crazy Baldhead" and "War" are offered by the Wailers with dire urgency as Marley's brutal visions are echoed by his own church choir, the I-Threes. More than four decades later, neither Marley's music nor his message has lost its sting. For Bob Marley, 1975 was a triumphant year. The singer's Natty Dread album featured one of his strongest batches of original material (the first compiled after the departure of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer) and delivered Top 40 hit "No Woman No Cry." The follow-up Live set, a document of Marley's appearance at London's Lyceum, found the singer conquering England as well. Upon completing the tour, Marley and his band returned to Jamaica, laying down the tracks for Rastaman Vibration (1976) at legendary studios run by Harry Johnson and Joe Gibbs. At the mixing board for the sessions were Sylvan Morris and Errol Thompson, Jamaican engineers of the highest caliber. Of the material on Rastaman Vibration, "War," for one, remains one of the most stunning statements of the singer's career. Though it is essentially a straight reading of one of Haile Selassie's speeches, Marley phrases the text exquisitely to fit a musical setting, a quiet intensity lying just below the surface. Equally strong are the likes of "Rat Race,""'Crazy Baldhead," and "Want More." These songs are tempered by buoyant, lighthearted material like "Cry to Me," "Night Shift," and "Positive Vibration." Not quite as strong as some of the love songs Marley would score hits with on subsequent albums, "Cry to Me" seems like an obvious choice for a single and remains underrated. Rastaman Vibration — now a landmark production on Analogue Productions Hybrid Stereo SACD!

SACD Bob Marley and The Wailers – Exodus
SACD44,00 €Add to cartBob Marley & The Wailers' Exodus Hybrid Stereo SACD release from Analogue Productions Mastered Direct To DSD by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from the original master tape Plays in all CD and SACD players By the time Bob Marley died, he was one of the world's first global superstars, famous and lauded from Europe through Africa and the Americas. Some even saw him as not just a reggae singer but as a folk hero, a sort of freedom fighter, and to this day his enduring image feels greater than the music he made, writes Pitchfork. In the 21st century, Bob Marley is a global cultural icon and the first Jamaican inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 1977's Exodus — recorded in London exile after a failed attempt on his life — turned out to be Marley's biggest-selling studio album. Time magazine named it the greatest LP of the 20th century. Other Marley discs had bigger hits and still others had better album tracks, but the balance Marley strikes between politics, religion, and romance on Exodus — compare and contrast the urgent title track and the laid-back "Jamming" — shows a pop star at the peak of his powers. After the success of 1974's Natty Dread and 1976's Rastaman Vibration, Bob Marley was not only the most successful reggae musician in the world, he was one of the most powerful men in Jamaica. Powerful enough, in fact, that he was shot by gunmen who broke into his home in December 1976, days before he was to play a massive free concert intended to ease tensions days before a contentious election for Jamaican Prime Minister. In the wake of the assassination attempt, Marley and his band left Jamaica and settled in London for two years, where he recorded Exodus. Exodus represented a subtle but significant shift for Marley; while he continued to speak out against political corruption and for freedom and equality for Third World people, his skill as a songwriter was as strong as ever, and Exodus boasted more than a few classics, "including the title song, 'Three Little Birds,' 'Waiting in Vain,' and 'Turn Your Lights Down Low,' tunes that defined Marley's gift for sounding laid-back and incisive at once," writes AllMusic. Exodus — now a landmark production on Analogue Productions Hybrid Stereo SACD!

The Doors – Live At The Aquarius Theatre – The First Performance
108,00 €Show itemThe Doors — Live At The Aquarius Theatre: The First Performance Numbered edition limited to 2,000 copies 180-gram 3LP set 2016 mix by The Doors engineer Bruce Botnick Features private sound check recorded at the Aquarius the day after the concert Pressed at Quality Record Pressings on 180-gram vinyl Housed in a 3-Pocket M-Pack Tip-On Jacket from Stoughton Printing This 3LP set features The Doors' first set at the Aquarius Theatre on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California on July 21, 1969. At the intimate Aquarius Theatre, The Doors took the stage for what would become one of their most captivating — and underrated — live recordings. Live at the Aquarius Theatre: The First Performance captures Morrison and company in rare form: loose, loud, and locked in, delivering a set that was equal parts dark poetry and rock 'n' roll exorcism. The setlist is a fiery blend of hits, deep cuts, and blues workouts, from a swaggering "Back Door Man" to a hypnotic "The End" that slithers like a fever dream through your speakers. Jim Morrison teeters between mystic shaman and cheeky frontman, while Robby Krieger's guitar cuts through the psychedelic fog with razor-sharp precision. Ray Manzarek's keyboards are their usual haunted carnival ride, and John Densmore's drumming is the glue holding together the madness. "The Doors' first show at the Aquarius that you have on vinyl is an entirely new mix. When it came time to make the lacquer masters ... the only option was to remix the show, which turned out to be beneficial in the long run as it gave us an opportunity to do a new High-Resolution archive of the 8-track analogue masters to 192/24. Also, using new tools available to us that we didn't have in 2001, we were able to remove most, it not all, of the hum and buzz which permeated the show. The new mix, which was done on an Avid Icon digital console, is a revelation, as it is so clear that it's almost like hearing the show for the first time. ... the resulting complete show was broken up into the five sides that comprise the show for the lacquer mastering. "In the interest of giving something new that you may never have heard before, side six is from the soundcheck. It isn't all that long, but it has some good moments for you to enjoy." — Bruce Botnick, Jan. 7, 2016, from the liner notes The Doors — Live at the Aquarius Theatre: The First Performance isn't just a concert recording — it's a time machine.

Includes "Respect," "Good Times," "A Change Is Gonna Come," "Soul Serenade" and more! 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Aretha Franklin's I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You is the album that contains "Soul Serenade," "Good Times," "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," "A Change Is Gonna Come," and — most importantly — "Respect". This is Franklin's 11th album and her first on Atlantic Records. Prior to this album, Aretha Franklin was known for Broadway tunes and Hollywood standards. It was on this album, though, that she emerged as true force of soul. Having created her first recordings as a Gospel artist at the tender age of 14, Aretha Franklin went on to become the most charted female artist in Billboard's history. Releasing a staggering 88 charted singles on Billboard, Aretha was the winner of 18 Grammy awards including Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best Soul Gospel Performance and Best Rhythm & Blues Recording. Having sold more than 75 million records worldwide she is regarded as an American treasure, in 1987 becoming the first woman to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Released in 1967 I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You was Aretha's breakthrough studio album, including the first two of Aretha's 20 No. 1 hit singles "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" and her signature song "Respect." This definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, is mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape, and is pressed on 180-gram double LP at Quality Record Pressings.

Les McCann & Eddie Harris – Swiss Movement
82,00 €Add to cartAnalogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Classic live jazz/soul album recorded at the 1969 Montreux jazz festival! 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Imagine yourself in a smoky, vibrant jazz club in the 1960s. The album opens with Les McCann, a soulful and charismatic pianist and vocalist, playing the keys with infectious energy. He's accompanied by an equally talented group of musicians. McCann's music is deeply rooted in gospel, blues, and soul, and it shines through in his performance. His warm, expressive voice draws you in, making you feel like you're right there in the audience. Eddie Harris, a groundbreaking saxophonist, joins in. He's known for pushing the boundaries of jazz with his innovative approach to the saxophone. Harris' playing on Swiss Movement is a masterclass in improvisation and groove. He effortlessly weaves intricate melodies, funky rhythms, and soulful solos that make the audience sway to the music. This classic live jazz album captures a remarkable performance by McCann and Harris, two highly talented and influential musicians. Recorded on June 21, 1969 at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland by the Les McCann trio, the album became a legendary success, nominated for a Grammy and reaching No. 1 on Billboard's jazz album chart, No. 2 on the R&B chart, and No. 29 on the LP chart. AllMusic reviewer Richie Unterberger calls Swiss Movement one of the most popular soul jazz albums of all time and one of the best. The album and the accompanying single "Compared to What" have sold millions of units.

Bad Company – Desolation Angels
82,00 €Add to cartAnalogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Includes the gold-selling single "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing The members of Bad Company maintained a grueling pace over the first few years of their career, releasing four albums (and touring steadily) between 1974 and 1977. By the time they finished recording the fourth LP, Burnin' Sky, they were exhausted and clearly in need of a break. The band re-emerged on March 17, 1979 with their fifth LP, Desolation Angels, another solid 10-track slab of blues-influenced rock whose impressive chart performance proved that even among the rising tide of younger punk and New Wave acts, there was still a strong demand for Bad Company's signature sound, writes Ultimate Classic Rock. The vocal passion of "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" became the album's gold-selling single, and the album as a whole takes on a more polished feel than its predecessor Burnin' Sky. "Gone, Gone, Gone," "Lonely for Your Love," and "She Brings Me Love" work best in vocalist and rhythm guitarist Paul Rodgers' favor, and fans did prove their loyalty, pushing the album to the No. 10 mark in the U.K. and to No. 3 in the U.S. The album went platinum for sales of more than 1 million copies, and double platinum subsequently. This 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP of Burnin' Sky is the definitive reissue of Bad Company's classic album.

Humble Pie – Smokin’ (45 RPM)
82,00 €Add to cart180-gram 45 RPM double LP! Turn up the heat with the iconic Smokin' 1972 album by Humble Pie! Mastered by Kevin Gray from a 1/2” flat tape copy of the original master Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Shortly before cutting the hard-rock classic Smokin', Humble Pie played the biggest US gig of them all: Shea Stadium, opening for Grand Funk Railroad. It was a make-or-break moment for the U.K. band, and just as the set was heating up, it began to rain. Playing during a storm is a risky situation in the best of times, but in 1971 it meant taking your life in your hands. Frontman Steve Marriott took the mic and dramatically announced that the group didn't care: "It's comin' down rain, and we don't give a f***! We're gonna rock your asses all night long!" "The audience went absolutely berserk," drummer Jerry Shirley recalls. Even Grand Funk's fastidious manager Terry Knight was impressed enough to allow a couple of encores. The band managed to avoid getting killed. And America was now Humble Pie territory. Lucky for the group, the next studio album they released had just as much rock ‘n roll bravado — seasoned with deep blues roots and a whole lot of soul. Smokin', Humble Pie's fifth studio set, made Steve Marriott a star for a second time, gave the band its most enduring song — "30 Days in the Hole" — and made them U.S. headliners. It was also the sound of a band in transition, both in sound and personnel. When Humble Pie formed in 1969, everybody had something of a profile: Marriott had been in the Small Faces; guitarist/singer Peter Frampton, fresh from the Herd, was known both for his chops and his good looks (the U.K. press called him the "face of ‘68"). Bassist Greg Ridley and drummer Jerry Shirley, meanwhile, came from cult favorite hard-rock bands Spooky Tooth and Apostolic Intervention. So Humble Pie initially functioned as a democratic supergroup: Everybody wrote songs, everybody sang lead, and the sound seesawed from heavy rock to the acoustic direction of their second LP, Town & Country. Eventually, they acquired a U.S. manager and booking agent — Dee Anthony and Frank Barsalona — who gave them a recipe for American success: More hard rock, more Marriott upfront. This paid off handsomely on the live album Rockin' the Fillmore, with their classic take on Ray Charles' "I Don't Need No Doctor." But shortly after its release, and just after the Shea show, Frampton jumped ship, realizing that the band's direction was shifting away from his interests. Frampton, of course, became a sensation with his own double live album, but it took some time. "He could see that acoustic side of things was going to be sidelined," Shirley now recalls. "But he'd be the first to tell you that when he left and wound up opening for us, he was thinking ‘Oh dear, what did I do?'" Humble Pie soldiered on. After the first round of auditions for a new guitarist didn't work out, they wrote a bunch of heavier songs and considered going out as a trio. Enter guitarist Dave "Clem" Clempson, who was immediately hired after Marriott spotted a couple of hot solos on a Colosseum live album. Clempson wasn't as much of a singer or acoustic player, but he was a powerhouse of a blues-based guitarist. But that's another story. Meanwhile, Humble Pie's fifth album remains incredibly influential — just ask the Black Crowes, Gov't Mule, or the countless other bands who've referenced it. In short, it's still Smokin' after all these years. Now, settle in with this ultimate reissue — mastered by Kevin Gray from a 1/2” flat tape copy of the original master. And pressed at 45 RPM on two LPs — flat, virtually silent vinyl pressed by Quality Record Pressings! Dive into a rock 'n' roll masterpiece that's guaranteed to leave you craving more!

His Ellington memories are notable for a quintet that features Jos Pass's eloquent guitar in place of a second horn, and a program including as many uncommon tune choices as familiar warhorses. Among the highlights are "Echoes of Harlem," with Terry growling in the manner of the trumpeter first featured on the piece, Cootie Williams; "Sophisticated Lady," which receives an unlikely Latin-hustle setting; and "Everything But You," with Terry alternating between trumpet and flugelhorn in a patented conversation with himself. Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this Analogue Productions 180-gram reissue is an exceptional audiophile disc.

At the time he recorded the music heard on this disc, he was in the process of forming a new band, as can be seen from the personnel: tenor saxophonist George Coleman, Victor Feldman (who turned down the job) and Herbie Hancock on pianos, bassist Ron Carter, and Frank Butler and Tony Williams on drums.

Genesis's fourth album Foxtrot Includes "Watcher of the Skies" and "Supper's Ready" Hybrid Stereo SACD Mastered directly to DSD from the original master tape by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering Genesis' Foxtrot is the band's fourth studio album, released in 1972. Regarded as one of the seminal albums of the progressive rock genre, it marked a significant milestone in Genesis' discography. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine says Foxtrot is where where Genesis began to pull all of its varied inspirations into a cohesive sound. The startling thing about the opening "Watcher of the Skies" is that it's the first time that Genesis attacked like a rock band, playing with a visceral power, he writes, giving the album a 5-star review. "There's might and majesty here, and it, along with 'Get 'Em Out by Friday,' is the truest sign that Genesis has grown muscle without abandoning the whimsy. Certainly, they've rarely sounded as fantastical or odd as they do on the epic 22-minute closer "Supper's Ready," a nearly side-long suite that remains one of the group's signature moments. It ebbs, flows, teases, and taunts, see-sawing between coiled instrumental attacks and delicate pastoral fairy tales. If Peter Gabriel remained a rather inscrutable lyricist, his gift for imagery is abundant, as there are passages throughout the album that are hauntingly evocative in their precious prose." — AllMusic This is the rare art-rock album that excels at both the art and the rock, and it's rightly celebrated for its enduring impact on the progressive rock genre, making it an essential listen for Genesis fans.

This 1957 Contemporary Records label debut spotlights their synergy on classics such as "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" and "Waltz Me Blues," sounding nothing short of sublime! For Pepper, known for his emotionally charged performances, Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section marked a career milestone. According to him, the album was recorded under enormous pressure, as he first learned of the recording session the morning he was due in the studio, and he had never met the other musicians, all of whom he greatly admired. His horn was also in less than exceptional condition. Still, the session produced results that Becky Byrkit, writing for AllMusic, deemed, "a diamond of recorded jazz history." Brian Morton and Richard Cook, writing for The Penguin Jazz Guide (10th ed.), described Meets The Rhythm Section as "a poetic, burning date, with all four men playing above themselves... Between them, they'd delivered a masterpiece." Meets The Rhythm Section also shares a storied link to the origins of Contemporary Records, founded in 1951 by Lester Koenig. For this UHQR edition of Meets The Rhythm Section we have an included a 16-page booklet that tells the history of Contemporary Records as well as offering new liner notes from John Koenig, Lester's son, known for his insightful jazz reviews.

Aretha Franklin – Aretha Now
87,00 €Add to cartAretha Franklin — Aretha Now Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Includes the knockout anthem "Think"! 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Aretha Franklin had some modest success as a singer of standards and torch songs, during her tenure with Columbia Records in the early- and mid-'60s, but it wasn't until she signed with Atlantic Records in 1967 that she found her true voice, becoming, in essence, the Aretha Franklin the world came to love — the Queen of Soul! 1968 was a watershed year for Franklin. In January, she released Lady Soul, one of her finest and most popular albums — a No. 2 record that featured her take on Carole King's "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman" and the immortal "Chain of Fools." She closed out the year with her first live album, Aretha In Paris, performing some of her best Atlantic material in a concert setting. Sandwiched between those two records was Aretha Now, a continuation of the great, grooving R&B she'd made her own since signing with Atlantic. Side One is a flat-out classic. It starts with "Think," the timeless empowerment anthem, with its gospel call and response and "Freedom!" refrain-truly one of the '60s great soul songs. A reinvention of the Bacharach/David hit "I Say a Little Prayer" follows, as Franklin both leads and yields to the Sweet Inspirations, whose harmonies define this new version of the Dionne Warwick hit. A slinky take on "See Saw" leads into Franklin's brassy cover of "The Night Time is the Right Time," taking the sweaty Nappy Brown/Ray Charles bedroom come-on to church, as only Franklin could do it. She also takes a spritely stroll through Sam Cooke's "You Send Me," ending the side on a romantic high. Take a breath before flipping over to Side Two — you're going to need it, not just to recover from the string of knockouts on Side One, but also to marshal the energy you'll need to dance through the up-tempo stunners to come. Roger Hawkins' drums are the first thing you hear when the needle hits the groove-the count in to "You're a Sweet, Sweet Man," which gets the head bobbing. By the time Franklin sprints through the Clyde Otis tune "A Change," you'll be shimmying across whatever floor you happen to be standing on. It all leads up to the album closer, the simmering "I Can't See Myself Leaving You," an R&B chart smash with an understated vocal that should be considered among Franklin's finest performances. Aretha Now was a hit album in its own right, but it's sometimes overlooked, standing as it does in the shadow of Lady Soul. Still, Aretha Now is an effortless-sounding showcase of her range and versatility; portraying her talent for not only elevating any song she sang, but to make it completely hers in such a way that it's impossible to imagine anyone else singing it. This definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of Aretha Now , is mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape, and is pressed on 180-gram double LP at Quality Record Pressings. Housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing.

Graham Nash – Songs For Beginners
82,00 €Add to cartGraham Nash — Songs For Beginners Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Graham Nash's auspicious solo album debut! Features "I Used to Be a King" and "Man in the Mirror" plus "Chicago" 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing After finding fame with the Hollies and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, expatriate Englishman turned West Coast rock icon Graham Nash made an auspicious solo debut on this 1971 disc. It's an exemplary singer-songwriter effort, striking a vital balance between graceful introspection and political fervor — and while it's deeply personal, it still carries the harmonies, heart and politics that made CSN(Y) so essential. With assistance from the likes of David Crosby, Jerry Garcia, and Dave Mason, highlights include the sensitive internal explorations "I Used to Be a King" and "Man in the Mirror" and the impassioned protest anthems "Chicago" and "Military Madness." If Déjà Vu was a wild canyon party with four competing egos, Songs for Beginners is Nash's introspective morning after — a mix of heartbreak, hope, and a little bit of righteous protest. He recorded it while reeling from his split with Joni Mitchell, and you can feel that melancholy seeping through the grooves. But don't mistake this for a wallowing breakup album — it's also a call to action, packed with the kind of folk-rock anthems that made Nash an indispensable voice of his era. If you love CSN's folk-rock harmonies but also crave a more personal, raw touch, this is a must-listen. This Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) reissue of Pain in My Heart is a standout for your collection. First, we turned to Bernie Grundman to cut lacquers from the original master tape. Pressing on 180-gram vinyl is by Quality Record Pressings, and the album is housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing.

Wishbone Ash – Argus
82,00 €Add to cartWishbone Ash — Argus 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered from the original analog master tape by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Features the beloved fan favorite "Blowin' Free," plus "The King Will Come," "Time Was," "Warrior" and more! Wishbone Ash reigned supreme through the 1970s — centered on inspired musicianship, joyful spirit and inventive songs. Their concerts were uplifting and their recorded work sublime. Argus remains a stunning high point in the band's startling repertoire. Argus was a 1972 tour de force, a hard-rocking masterpiece that has gone on to have a huge impact on rock bands moving forward. If you've never heard Argus, you've surely heard music that it inspired. The British quartet's trademark harmony guitars became a touchstone for many: Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Opeth, and Lynyrd Skynyrd have all acknowledged an Ash influence, and tracks such as Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town," Maiden's "The Trooper," and even Steely Dan's "Reeling in the Years" all have twin-guitar moments that hark back to Argus. But Wishbone Ash were different from the start. They were never strictly a hard rock band; their soaring vocal harmonies and musical grandeur placed them close to progressive rock. But they weren't strictly prog either: They had no keyboards, no real classical influence and weren't into side-long suites. Their roots were in the blues, and their calling card was twin lead guitars in harmony (played in the original lineup by Ted Turner and Andy Powell). Even the hardest Ash rockers — like "Blowin' Free," the most famous track from Argus — had an ethereal touch. They could rock the big stages, but they did it with subtlety and grace. This is reflected perfectly in the classic album sleeve by prog-associated designers Hipgnosis: The front cover shows a Greek sentry — the "argus" of the title — staring off into the distance. It's a mythic, old-world kind of image until you look closely at the back cover, and see that he's heralding the arrival (or perhaps watching the departure) of a spaceship. Two worlds colliding. Exactly what the band and album were all about. By the time of Argus, Wishbone Ash were stars in England and cult heroes among Anglophiles in the US. What made Argus a step forward was its flow of moods. The songs don't run together, but there's an emotional connecting thread from the album's somber beginning to its heroic end. The band insisted at the time that lyrics were something of an afterthought: Shortly after its release, main lyricist Martin Turner told NME that he wrote them mainly to fit the mood of the music: "The music that was coming out was very English, very medieval, and the lyrics had to reflect that." Added Powell at the time, "The expression comes out in the guitars. We wouldn't play it if it didn't express something." Now, Analogue Productions has applied all of its vaunted craft and technical expertise to make this epic album shine! Two 45 RPM LPs pressed on virtually silent 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings make the remastered audio sparkle. Quieter lyrical sentiments and softer musical passages are rendered precisely, while majestic riffs and fist-waving anthems fully reveal the energy of the music! Argus isn't just another rock record — it's a journey through a sonic landscape rich with depth, emotion and technical prowess. It's the album that solidified Wishbone Ash as masters of twin guitar harmony. Discerning audiophiles will find Argus an essential addition to their record collection. It's a masterclass in sound engineering that fully captures the intricate interplay of dual guitars with pristine clarity and a warmth that only analog recordings can provide.
