Caelan Cardello – Chapter One
58,00 €Add to cartCaelan Cardello — Chapter One Lacquers cut by TrackingAngle.com contributor and mastering engineer Dave McNair Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings Packaged in a Stoughton Printing old-style, tip-on jacket "When somebody's 'Got it' ... you know ... instantly! Caelan Cardello's 'Got it' ... all of it: Heart, brains, dimension, drama, imagination, taste, time, spirit, blues, nuance, virtuosity, variety, and personality. He communicates directly from the piano, telling his story with optimism and depth, intelligence and passion. Caelan Cardello has arrived!" — Bill Charlap "Caelan Cardello is a one-in-a-million talent. He is gifted as a composer and player." — Vincent Herring Chapter One, the debut studio album by pianist Caelan Cardello, had audiences from the recent Warsaw Audio Video Fair to The Capital Audio Festival applauding as if Caelan and his trio were playing live instead of on 180-gram vinyl. Musically, Caelan's studio set debut is nothing like the now sold-out LP Rufus Reid Presents Caelan Cardello. "On this often-raucous studio set, the young jazz pianist backed by bassist Jonathon Muir-Cotton and power house drummer Domo Branch tears through a set of mostly Caelan original compositions — some at start-and-stop breakneck speed — while others have a more contemplative feel," writes reviewer Michael Fremer for TrackingAngle.com. In an album of highlights, the high point may well be Cardello's virtuosic solo piano rendition of Thelonious Monk's "Ask Me Now" exclusively available on this vinyl edition distributed by Acoustic Sounds. Cardello started playing piano at the age of 5 and within two years had begun parallel arcs of formal training in both classical and jazz piano, starting with jazz pianist/arranger Allen Farnham and Juilliard classical alum Steve Masi. Cardello graduated from William Paterson University with a bachelors degree in Jazz Piano Performance. During his time there he found himself again under the tutelage of many venerable Jazz Masters including Bill Charlap and the late great Harold Mabern. He regularly performed with William Paterson Jazz Ensembles, being featured at WBGO and playing shows at Dizzys Club in NYC. When not performing, Cardello devotes his attention to furthering his musical studies in performance, composition, arrangement and digital music technology. Over time, Cardello's musical accomplishments and live performances have garnered him several prestigious awards including the New Jersey Governor's Award, the James Moody College Scholarship Award for "Outstanding Musicianship," the 2021 BMI Foundation's Future Jazz Master Award, and the prestigious Herbie Hancock International Piano Competition.

Count Basie 6 – Kansas City
54,00 €Add to cart180-gram vinyl Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket With Count Basie, Cleanhead Vinson, and Willie Cook all gone, there is cause for gratitude that Norman Granz thought in 1981 to bring them together with a great rhythm section. The result was one of the happiest of Basie's celebrated "Kansas City" sessions for Pablo. Cook and Vinson, marvelous soloists who deserved wider fame, were both great bebop players able to tailor their work to Basie's more elemental requirements without condescending or losing anything essential. Additionally, as he demonstrates to a fare-thee-well on "Wee Baby," Vinson was a terrific blues shouter. In his small groups, Basie the pianist was on more prominent display than in the big band, and there are plenty of reminders here that his keyboard talent encompassed much more than wryness and subtlety. Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape. Pressed at Quality Record Pressings for superior sound quality, and housed in a handsome Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket. Musicians: Count Basie, piano Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, double bass Louis Bellson, drums Joe Pass, guitar Eddie Vinson, saxophone Willie Cook, trumpet

Muddy Waters – The Best Of Muddy Waters
42,00 €Add to cartMuddy Waters — The Best Of Muddy Waters (Mono) Chess Records 75 Series from Chess Records and Acoustic Sounds! Inspired by the record label that pioneered electrifying Chicago blues, rock 'n' roll, stirring soul, and R&B! All-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab at Blue Heaven Studios! 180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings Audiophile vinyl reissue series launches with two blues classics by Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf Muddy Waters' The Best of Muddy Waters is a powerful collection of blues songs that include essential tracks such as "Hoochie Coochie Man," and "Rollin' Stone." If the blues had a Mount Rushmore, Muddy Waters' face would be carved front and center, cigar in hand, guitar slung low, smirk that says "You're about to feel this in your bones." If there's one record that cemented Waters' legend (and made Chess Records the powerhouse that rewrote American music), it's The Best of Muddy Waters. Originally released in 1958, this was Chess Records' very first LP — a bold move in an era when blues records were singles-driven. Leonard and Phil Chess weren't just pressing vinyl; they were pressing the future. The album gathered 12 scorching sides recorded between 1948 and 1954, each one a blueprint for modern electric blues and a direct ancestor of rock 'n' roll. Why It Matters • For Muddy Waters: This album wasn't just a compilation — it was his coronation. Tracks such as "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and "I'm Ready" showcase Muddy's swagger: raw, electric, and dangerous enough to make polite society clutch their pearls. • For Chess Records: This LP marked the label's leap into the long-playing format, proving blues could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with jazz and pop on the hi-fi shelf. Spoiler: It sounded better there, too. • For Music History: Every guitar riff that ever strutted out of a Marshall stack owes a drink to this record. Rolling Stones? Led Zeppelin? Eric Clapton? They didn't just love Muddy — they worshipped him. Tracks That Slap (and Groove) • "Hoochie Coochie Man" — Willie Dixon's swaggering masterpiece that gave Muddy the myth-making juice. • "Rollin' Stone" — The slow burn that not only inspired a British band's name but practically birthed a movement. The Best of Muddy Waters isn't just a greatest-hits record, it's a cultural document. A snapshot of when the Delta plugged in, Chicago turned the volume up, and American music changed forever. Own this and you're holding history that still swings like a wrecking ball. Each release in the Chess Records 75 Series is remastered from the original analog tapes by Matt Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) and housed in archival quality tip-on gatefold jackets, offering both audiophiles and collectors a premium listening experience.

Pink Anderson – Carolina Blues Man
42,00 €Add to cartPink Anderson — Carolina Blues Man The Bluesville Series from Craft Recordings and Acoustic Sounds! Inspired by the original Prestige label imprint established in 1959 All-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab at Blue Heaven Studios! 180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings Highlighting trailblazing blues musicians from legendary labels Pink Anderson was never a big name on the blues circuit, yet he was perhaps the most polished and personal of all the rural bluesmen who recorded for Prestige's Bluesville subsidiary. He was seldom recorded during his long career which began around 1915 with his first of many associations with traveling medicine shows and ended with his death in 1973. He cut three fine albums for Bluesville during the early Sixties, this solo acoustic 1960 date being the first. Anderson, who had a strong influence on folk guitarists Roy Bookbinder and Paul Geremina, specialized in interpretations of blues standards, bringing to each a gentle, uniquely plaintive quality. Originally released in 1961 on Prestige's Bluesville imprint, this album features his blend of fingerpicking and strumming styles to create a unique take on blues standards such as "My Baby Left Me This Morning" and "Baby, Please Don't Go". This release has been pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP and newly (AAA) remastered from the original, while a replica tip-on jacket completes the package.

Terry Callier – The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier
42,00 €Add to cartTerry Callier — The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier The Bluesville Series from Craft Recordings and Acoustic Sounds! Inspired by the original Prestige label imprint established in 1959 All-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab at Blue Heaven Studios! 180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings Highlighting trailblazing blues musicians from legendary labels The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier released in 1968 on Prestige is exactly what its title suggests — a fresh take on American folk from the then-newcomer Callier. Drawing inspiration from jazz, blues, and soul, Callier re-interprets traditional folk standards bringing a uniquely African American perspective to classics like "Cotton Eyed Joe" and "900 Miles." Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP and newly (AAA) remastered from the original tapes, while a replica tip-on jacket completes the package. The music is hauntingly beautiful, with Callier's warm crooning supported sparsely with bass from Attenborough and Tweedle. The original 1968 release is a mono record collector holy grail, but for everyone else, we recommend this new Bluesville Records reissue that sounds terrific! AllMusic calls it Callier's "most timeless and inviting" release."

Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape 180-gram LPs pressed at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing gatefold old-style tip-on jackets Series supervised by Chad Kassem CEO of Acoustic Sounds Getz Meets Mulligan in Hi-Fi is the 1957 Verve Records album featuring jazz saxophonists Stan Getz and Gerry Mulligan, showcasing a unique first-time collaboration where they traded instruments, with Getz playing baritone sax and Mulligan playing tenor sax on the initial tracks. The session was produced by Norman Granz and featured a stellar rhythm section including pianist Lou Levy, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Stan Levey. Mulligan always seems to open up whole new sides of his playing when sharing the leader spotlight with another star — and here, in the company of Getz, he hits a shimmering, sparkling sound that's really great, and filled with feeling. Getz is wonderful too — very much in his best mid '50s Verve period — working in a groove that's deep and laidback, with a strong undercurrent of warmth — thanks to familiar rhythm backing from the trio of Lou Levy on piano, Ray Brown on bass, and Stan Levey on drums. Titles include "Anything Goes," "Ballad," and "That Old Feeling."

Howlin’ Wolf – Moanin’ In The Moonlight

Haunting 1959 album debut introduced Wolf's signature growl on "Smokestack Lightnin'" and "Evil" All-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab 180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time rated No. 477/500! Howlin' Wolf's Moanin' in the Moonlight is a compilation album released by Chess Records in 1959, comprising songs recorded between 1951 and 1959 previously issued as singles, including the iconic hit "Smokestack Lightnin'." As Rolling Stone put it, "The Wolf had the biggest roar in Chicago blues — he raved in a fierce growl, backed by explosive playing from guitar geniuses Willie Johnson and Hubert Sumlin. His 1959 debut album has some of the meanest electric blues ever heard ... from the eerie railroad drone 'Smokestack Lightnin' to the lowdown 'I Asked for Water (She Gave Me Gasoline)." Founded in 1950 by Polish immigrant brothers Leonard and Phil Chess, Chess Records emerged from the south side of Chicago and enhanced and transformed the blues from folk music to popular sound. Wolf added the raw, untamed electricity that turned the blues into a primal force. With Willie Dixon's songwriting magic, Hubert Sumlin's razor-sharp guitar lines, and Wolf's voice — a voice that sounds like it was carved out of granite with a switchblade — Moanin' in the Moonlight became an anchor of the Chess empire. Each release in the Chess Records 75 Series is remastered from the original analog tapes by Matt Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, the wizard who understands that the Wolf's growl should shake your floorboards, not your ears! Likewise, if vinyl had a luxury spa, Quality Record Pressings would be it. Dead-quiet surfaces, 180-gram heft, and grooves so pristine — it's Chess mono magic, restored with soul! It's big, it's warm, and the sound is alive. Like Wolf himself just walked into your listening room. Lastly, reissues in this series are housed in archival quality tip-on gatefold jackets, offering both audiophiles and collectors a premium listening experience. Bottom line — Moanin' in the Moonlight isn't just an album; it's the cornerstone of electric blues. It's the sound of raw power before marketing departments figured out how to package it. Spin this reissue and rediscover why blues fans treat this record like sacred text — because when the Wolf howls, the world still listens.

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!

The Clark Terry Five – Memories Of Duke
52,00 €Add to cart180-gram vinyl Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket Unlike many musicians who became stars in the Duke Ellington orchestra, Clark Terry became an even more commanding presence in the jazz world following his near-decade with the Duke. 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.
