The 45 rpm reissues are more musical and transparent; instruments have greater three-dimensionality and frequency extremes, especially lower octaves, exhibit greater resolution and impact. Get them before they're sold out!"

Now, we're breaking the titles out from that terrific set for individual sale. These are the audiophile jazz fan's definitive releases for your collection!For jazz collectors, At Shelly's Manne-Hole isn't just another Bill Evans record — it's a landmark. This was Evans' final album for Riverside, the label that first brought his genius to light, and his last chapter in one of the most creative partnerships in modern jazz recording.Captured live at drummer Shelly Manne's famous Hollywood club in 1963, the album finds Evans in rare form — intimate, reflective, yet full of quiet fire. It's only the second time Riverside ever caught him in a live setting (the first being the legendary Village Vanguard sessions), and it documents a fleeting but brilliant trio: Evans with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker.The sound is wonderfully alive — you can feel the room, the energy, the warmth of an audience hanging on every note. For collectors, this is the bridge between Evans' early introspection and the confident, searching tone of his later work.Musicians:Bill Evans, pianoChuck Israels, bassLarry Bunker, drums -

Now, we're breaking the titles out from that terrific set for individual sale. These are the audiophile jazz fan's definitive releases for your collection!The legend of Bill Evans really begins with this album, his second. The pianist had just spent most of 1958 as part of one of the major units in jazz history: The Miles Davis Sextet that also featured John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley. His fellow musicians already knew his worth (the album title was almost literally accurate, and the four endorsements on the cover, which embarrassed Bill, could easily have been greatly multiplied). With this record, the jazz public began to follow their lead.Here, joined by bassist Sam Jones and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Evans delivers some of his most fluid, swinging trio performances — elegant, lyrical, and rhythmically alive. Yet it's the solo improvisation "Peace Piece" that forever marked his arrival. Built on two hypnotic chords, it unfolds with a quiet intensity that feels both spontaneous and transcendent — a glimpse into the meditative, deeply personal world Evans would explore for the rest of his career.For collectors, Everybody Digs Bill Evans captures that pivotal moment when a brilliant accompanist became an icon in his own right. It's the bridge between promise and legend, a record that doesn't just showcase Evans' genius — it invites you into it.Musicians: Bill Evans, piano Sam Jones, bass Philly Joe Jones, drums -

Miles Davis – Kind of Blue (Corrected Speed)
84,00 €Add to cart180-gram double LP 33 1/3 edition (Side 4 will be 45 RPM) Side 1 Speed Corrected for recording adjustment Pressed at Quality Record Pressings using Classic Records parts that were mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original master tape Includes 4-panel insert with corrected speed information and liner notes by Robert Palmer Stoughton Printing Old Style tip-on gatefold heavyweight jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Standard black vinyl pressing Also available as a limited edition blue vinyl pressing A minor audio complication with Kind of Blue has been addressed with our UHQR edition, and now with this 331/3 RPM double LP reissue. The motor on the studio's 3-track master recorder was running slowly the day of the album's first session. This speed issue affected the album's first three tracks, "So What," "Freddie Freeloader" and "Blue in Green," making them a barely perceptible quarter-tone sharp. Before now, it was only addressed in 1995 for the Classic Records edition and by Columbia Records — or their latter-day parent, Sony Music — on a CD reissue in the late '90s. This edition also contains on Side 4 "Flamenco Sketches (alternate take)" cut at 45 RPM. Legends have a way of sticking around. If there was ever an album awaiting a high-fidelity, custom-pressed vinyl treatment of the level you now hold in your hands, it is Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. The top-selling jazz album of all time, it has been lauded, entered into "Best Of" lists and Halls of Fame, and universally acknowledged as a landmark recording - a five-track masterpiece of melancholy mood and melody. It continues to be one of the most listened-to and studied recordings of all time, a required primer for many young musicians, and one of the most transcendent pieces of music ever recorded. Davis played trumpet sublime with his ensemble sextet featuring pianist Bill Evans, drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley with Wynton Kelly playing piano on "Freddy the Freeloader." Kind of Blue is more than Miles Davis's most enduring recording, it's a testament to Miles' experimental approach, drastically simplifying modern jazz by returning to melody unlike the chord complexity more often heard at the time. "The music has gotten thick," Davis complained in a 1958 interview for The Jazz Review. "... There will be fewer chords but infinite possibilities as to what to do with them." Kind of Blue is, in a sense, all melody — and atmosphere. None of the musicians had played any of the tunes before heading into the first of two recording sessions in early spring of 1959. In fact Miles had written out the settings for most of them only a few hours before the session. Miles also stuck to his old recording procedure of having virtually no rehearsal and only one take for each tune. Miles remained proud of the album, performing at least two of its tracks — "So What" and "All Blues" — for years after, until his musical path took him in a different direction. History was on the side of Kind of Blue; it was born in 1959, at the peak of the golden age of high-fidelity, featuring innovations in studio equipment (magnetic tape, high-quality condenser microphones), matched by advancements in home audio reproduction (long-player records — LPs; high-end turntables, and other stereo components). Kind of Blue also benefited from Miles' being signed to the leading major record company of the day — Columbia Records, a part of the CBS media conglomerate. Columbia had the means and wisdom to invest in cutting edge recording technology, and their own professional recording studio. This LP bridges the time span since the album's original recording in the best way possible, struck from the master reel of Kind of Blue, free of speed issues and replete with all the instrumental detail, sonic environment and minimal noise. All-in-all this edition of Kind of Blue meets the highest audiophile standards and offers the truest sound for the most enjoyment

Platinum-selling third album Featuring the smash title track, plus "Dirty White Boy," and "Women" 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Foreigner's platinum-selling winning streak continued on Head Games, the band's third album. Tailor-made for the airwaves, songs such as "Dirty White Boy" and "Head Games" kept Foreigner at the top of the arena rock heap as the decade came to a close; and the supergroup's successes would continue well into the '80s. In August 1979, the release of the album was preceded by its first single, the hard rock "Dirty White Boy, which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album itself continued Foreigner's popularity, climbing to No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart and receiving a platinum certification four months after it hit the stores. By now, Head Games has gained a 5× Platinum status for selling at least 5 million copies in the United States. The next singles were the title track and "Women," which reached No. 14 and 41, respectively. Head Games continued in the vein of Foreigner's previous successful albums, maintaining a consistent quality of music that fans had come to expect. We expect this definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) reissue of Head Games to find a prominent place in your most-listened-to album rotation.

Ray Charles – The Genius Sings The Blues (Mono)
82,00 €Add to cartRay Charles — The Genius Sings The Blues (Mono) Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! A classic of the soul and R&B canon! Timeless American music includes 12 must-have songs from Charles' peak era 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 Genius doesn't even begin to describe the greatness of 1961 collection The Genius Sings the Blues. Comprised of a dozen songs Ray Charles made between 1952 and 1960, the collection was released in 1961 by Atlantic Records to counter the singer's migration to rival ABC Paramount. What Atlantic originally underestimated is that the album contained many of Charles' greatest works, all unified by their bluesy emotions and stirring arrangements. A classic of the soul and R&B canon, The Genius Sings the Blues is a snapshot of the evolution of timeless American music captured by the pianist's indelible rhythmic pace, gospel roots, jazz backgrounds, and Southern-styled accents. The cover tunes here — "Early In The Mornin'," "The Midnight Hour," "I'm Movin' On," "Feelin' Sad," "The Right Time" — are wonderful. But it's Charles' own, self-penned blues that steal the spotlight: "Ray's Blues," "I Believe To My Soul," "Nobody Cares," "Mr. Charles' Blues," "Some Day Baby," and "I Wonder Who." The Genius Sings the Blues is a must-have for any Ray Charles fan, offering a raw and electrifying showcase of Charles' ability to convey pain and joy simultaneously. His legendary piano playing is front and center, with bluesy riffs and rolling chords that define Ray's unique style. With a rich backing band, including soulful horns and grooving rhythms, the album delivers an authentic and deeply felt blues experience. It's a testament to the soul of a true musical pioneer. All the hallmarks of a top-notch Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue are here for you to savor: Mastered directly from the original mono master tape by Bernie Grundman and cut at 45 RPM. Pressed on 180-gram 2LP at Quality Record Pressings, and housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing.

Now, we're breaking the titles out from that terrific set for individual sale. These are the audiophile jazz fan's definitive releases for your collection! In September 1956, a 27-year-old pianist named Bill Evans quietly recorded New Jazz Conceptions — his debut album, and a bold opening statement from a musician still flying under the radar. At the time, Evans wasn't yet the name whispered with reverence in every jazz circle; Miles Davis hadn't called him up yet, and most listeners had no idea what was coming. But listening now, you can hear the spark of genius that would soon reshape modern jazz piano. Here, Evans' introspective touch, harmonic daring, and rhythmic sensitivity were already fully formed. Whether in his intricate trio interplay or the luminous solo passages, there's an unmistakable sense of discovery — of an artist thinking and feeling at the keyboard in real time. It's the kind of music, both cerebral and deeply human, that never loses its emotional pull. For collectors, New Jazz Conceptions isn't just Evans' first step — it's the blueprint for everything that followed. You can trace the DNA of later masterpieces, the sound that inspired Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, and generations beyond. This is Bill Evans before the legend-still refining, still exploring — but already unmistakably himself. Musicians: Bill Evans, piano Teddy Kotick, bass Paul Motian, drums

Arthur Rubinstein/Fritz Reiner – Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 15
85,00 €Add to cartRCA Living Stereo classical LPs — the gold standard for top quality orchestral performance and sound! Part of the Analogue Productions RCA Living Stereo 45 RPM Series! Remastered from the original master tape and cut at 45 RPM by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab Includes 2-panel insert 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings! When RCA first captured Arthur Rubinstein with Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1954, the result was more than just another Brahms concerto — it became one of the defining statements of the Living Stereo era. Rubinstein's trademark elegance and poetic touch meet the fire and precision of Reiner's baton, while the Chicago Symphony delivers a performance of monumental power and clarity. Rubinstein, already a towering figure among pianists, was known for his natural lyricism and refusal to overdramatize — a quality that perfectly suited Brahms' First Concerto. Against Reiner's taut, disciplined conducting and the CSO's burnished sonority, the music unfolds with both storm and serenity, revealing new depths with every listen. What makes this recording a classic of RCA's Living Stereo catalog is not just its interpretive brilliance but its sound. Even in the dawn of stereo technology, RCA engineers created a spacious, lifelike sonic image that still astonishes today. Listeners can hear the piano's warmth, the orchestra's weight, and the hall's resonance in remarkable detail. This 180-gram reissue — now a 45 RPM masterpiece! — is the definitive version of this Living Stereo classic. Mastered by Matthew Lutthans from the original analog tape, it's pressed on two LPs — flat, virtually silent viny pressed by Quality Record Pressings. For today's classical music fans, this isn't just a historical artifact — it's an evergreen performance that continues to set the standard.

Charles Munch – Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique
85,00 €Add to cartRCA Living Stereo classical LPs - the gold standard for top quality orchestral performance and sound! Part of the Analogue Productions RCA Living Stereo 45 RPM Series! Remastered from the original master tape and cut at 45 RPM by Bernie Grundman Includes 2-panel insert 180-gram vinyl 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings! Few recordings capture the spirit of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique as vividly as Charles Munch's legendary account with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Recorded at the height of RCA's Living Stereo era, this album remains a benchmark for its white-hot intensity, its luminous sound, and its perfect marriage of French flair and orchestral discipline. Munch, one of the great Berlioz interpreters of the 20th century, led the Boston Symphony with a rare combination of precision and abandon. Under his direction, the orchestra brims with color and drama: from the tender sighs of the opening reverie to the delirious, hallucinatory "Witches' Sabbath." Every movement unfolds with theatrical sweep, reminding us why Berlioz shocked 19th-century audiences and still captivates today. For classical music fans, this isn't just another Fantastique — it's a touchstone. RCA's engineers captured the BSO in glowing stereo sound, giving listeners the chance to hear the orchestra's brilliance as if seated in Symphony Hall. Munch's interpretation continues to be prized for its urgency, its passion, and its unapologetic sense of adventure. Whether you're a devoted audiophile or simply want to hear Berlioz at his most electrifying, this recording delivers an experience as thrilling today as it was the day it was made. Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original 2-track master tape, cut at 45 RPM and plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings — makers of the world's finest-sounding vinyl LPs, — no other editions match these for the quietest 180-gram platters available.

Remastered from the original master tape and cut at 45 RPM by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab Includes 2-panel insert 180-gram vinyl 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings! Charles Munch was the opposite of the "intellectual" school of French conductors, as typified by Pierre Boulez. He was a completely spontaneous artist, which is what made him the great Berlioz conductor of our time, and literally anything could happen when he got up onto the podium. It follows then, that his Ravel is not going to be the sort of hyper-precise, calculated sort of interpretation that many fans of the composer expect, but it will be exciting as hell. These three pieces are shrewdly chosen; they are the composer's most extrovert works, and Munch pulls out all of the stops in his performances of them. A classic recording, and a great memento of a unique artist. Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original 2-track master tape, cut at 45 RPM and plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings — makers of the world's finest-sounding vinyl LPs.

Pristine surfaces and better-defined layers of sound along with much finer texture add up to a wonderful experience of the famous Organ Symphony.

85,00 €Add to cartRCA Living Stereo classical LPs — the gold standard for top quality orchestral performance and sound! Part of the Analogue Productions RCA Living Stereo 45 RPM Series! Remastered from the original master tape and cut at 45 RPM by Bernie Grundman Includes 2-panel insert 180-gram vinyl 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings! If you're a classical music lover with even a passing affection for Gershwin, this is one of those "drop everything and listen" albums. Earl Wild, Arthur Fiedler, and the Boston Pops joined forces here in a match that could only be described as electric-and RCA's Living Stereo engineers captured it all with a warmth and immediacy that still feels astonishing today. The performances are world-class. Earl Wild was the American virtuoso who understood Gershwin not just as a crowd-pleaser, but as a serious composer. His piano sparkles in the Concerto in F-by turns jazzy, sultry, and thunderously grand. Arthur Fiedler, at the height of his long reign with the Boston Pops, provides the perfect foil: a conductor who knew how to give Gershwin's music its swing and sparkle without ever losing its classical backbone. Together, they make Gershwin sound both sophisticated and wildly alive. Then there's the sound. This is RCA Living Stereo at its finest — lush but not bloated, with Wild's piano given a front-and-center clarity that makes you feel like you're seated at Symphony Hall. The rhythmic drive of "I Got Rhythm" Variations, the sultry sway of the Cuban Overture, and the grandeur of the Concerto all come across with jaw-dropping presence. It's no wonder collectors and casual fans alike have called this one of the most thrilling of the entire Living Stereo series. If you want to hear Gershwin played with equal parts virtuosity, joy, and sonic splendor — this is the pressing you reach for.
