Miles Davis – Birth Of The Blue 45 RPM
82,00 €Add to cartMiles Davis — Birth of the Blue Smash prequel to what many consider the greatest jazz record ever! Four more songs from the pioneering ensemble that produced Miles Davis' Kind of Blue! Modal jazz precursor laid groundwork for future jazz innovation! 180-gram vinyl 45 RPM double LP Plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for flawless production and superior fidelity! Stoughton Printing Old Style tip-on gatefold heavyweight jackets Miles Davis's Kind of Blue was the number-one jazz album in history. It totaled five songs. There are four more songs from that same historic group, recorded in the same time period and at the same studio. And here they are. These songs deserve to stand on their own with artwork to highlight the quality of the music and that matches the time period of the recording. This is a rare opportunity to have a smash follow-up to what many consider the greatest jazz record ever! Through the years, these four remarkable performances — all from a single recording session in 1958 and all exemplary of the sound of Miles Davis' legend-loaded sextet of that year — have not been served well. They have been largely treated as add-ons for other compilations. Now, for the first time, Analogue Productions, the audiophile in-house reissue label of Acoustic Sounds, Inc., together with Quality Record Prssings, has deservedly given these tracks a stellar stand-alone release for jazz fans to savor! The once-in-a-generation lineup that recorded these tunes is the very same that would be immortalized for the enduring classic they would record almost a year later, Kind of Blue. 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. Undervalued since their recording, the tunes on this album reflect historial and musical significance. They offer early glimpses into the modal jazz that Kind of Blue would bring to the forefront. Using modes common in modern classical music, rather than the chords of popular songs, Miles had begun to experiment with the new approach on the Milestones recording sessions previously. Analogue Productions is proud to present Birth of the Blue in an exclusive first-of-its-kind stand-alone release that reflects our reputation for meticulous production, capturing authentic sound with clarity, depth and fidelity that exceeds the audiophile standard. 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings. Features: • Pioneering Ensemble: Captured the same rare and short-lived alignment of jazz legends including Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb, as heard on the historic Kind of Blue. • Innovative Sound: The session represented a crucial transition in jazz, blending elements of hard bop with early modal jazz influences, showcasing the ensemble's experimentation and forward-thinking approach. • Undervalued Legacy: Despite its historical and musical significance, the session's recordings have been historically overlooked, often relegated to being add-ons in compilations rather than recognized as standalone masterpieces. • Modal Jazz Precursor: Offered early glimpses into the modal jazz that would later be fully realized in Davis's groundbreaking album "Kind of Blue," laying the groundwork for future jazz innovation. • Impact on Artists: Served as a critical point of development and confidence for the musicians involved, particularly Bill Evans, who noted the significant impact of this experience on his own identity and style. • Historical Context: Occurred at a peak moment in Miles Davis's career, following his signing with Columbia Records and his critical and commercial successes with albums such as ‘Round About Midnight and Miles Ahead.

82,00 €Add to cartGordon Lightfoot — Sundown Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds! Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket When Sundown hit the airwaves in 1974, Gordon Lightfoot didn't just top the charts — he captured a moment in time. With its mix of folk storytelling, country warmth, and pop polish, Sundown became one of the defining albums of the decade. The title track alone — haunting, hypnotic, and unforgettable — remains one of the greatest songs ever written about love and jealousy.

Now, Sundown sounds better than ever. Cut at 45 RPM by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, this new edition brings every shimmer of 12-string guitar and nuance of Lightfoot's unmistakable baritone into sharper, more lifelike focus.

Montrose – Montrose
82,00 €Add to cartMontrose — Montrose The Birth of American Hard Rock — now on audiophile vinyl! Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds! Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket Few debut albums hit with the seismic force of Montrose. Released in 1973, this powerhouse record didn't just introduce guitarist Ronnie Montrose and a then-unknown vocalist named Sammy Hagar — it practically rewrote the rules for American hard rock. From the opening riff of "Rock the Nation" to the thunder of "Bad Motor Scooter" and "Space Station #5," Montrose delivers 35 minutes of pure, high-octane energy. It's lean, loud, and loaded with attitude — the album that bridged the gap between Led Zeppelin's muscle and Van Halen's flash. In fact, Eddie Van Halen himself cited Montrose as a blueprint for what would come next. Produced by Ted Templeman (soon to helm Van Halen's own breakout), the record's sound is all killer instinct and no filler — massive guitar tones, airtight grooves, and Hagar's raw, unfiltered vocals in peak form. It's the kind of album that never left the turntables of rock fans, and it's still hailed by critics as one of the greatest debut albums in rock history. Now, this classic gets the treatment it's always deserved. Mastered with precision from the original tape by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and pressed on dead-quiet, perfectly flat vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, this edition captures every ounce of the album's fire and punch — the way it was meant to be heard. Turn it up, drop the needle, and feel the spark that lit an era. Montrose isn't just hard rock history — it's the sound of ignition.

Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket When America released their self-titled album debut in the U.S. in January 1972, few could have predicted just how perfectly this young trio would capture the sound of an era. With shimmering acoustic guitars, golden harmonies, and songs that seemed tailor-made for open highways and endless skies, America became one of the defining folk-rock albums of the 1970s. From the instantly recognizable strum of "A Horse with No Name" to the wistful beauty of "I Need You" and "Sandman," this is the album that launched the band's career — and helped set the tone for the decade's laid-back West Coast sound. It's a record that feels both intimate and expansive, full of youthful wonder and a timeless sense of melody. America earned the band a Grammy Award for Best New Artist, went multi-platinum, and remains a touchstone for generations of songwriters and listeners alike. Collectors continue to prize early pressings for their warmth and musicality — and now, this definitive audiophile edition delivers the album with greater depth, detail, and realism than ever before. Cut from the original tape with meticulous care by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and pressed on ultra-quiet, perfectly flat vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, America has never sounded so alive. Every guitar shimmer, every breath of harmony, every heartbeat of Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley, and Dan Peek's chemistry is restored with breathtaking clarity. America is a cornerstone of early '70s acoustic rock. It's evergreen magic, lovingly revived.

With timeless hits such as "This Masquerade" and the sunlit title track, Breezin', Benson's 15th album, bridges the worlds of jazz, pop, and R&B with rare grace.

Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket Formed by the late, great Lowell George, Little Feat made music that was loose, funky, literate, and impossible to pin down. Sailin' Shoes (1972) caught the band just as their legend was taking shape — a mix of sharp-witted storytelling and swampy grooves that defined early-'70s cool. From "Willin'" and "Easy to Slip" to the swaggering title track, it's a master class in Southern California songwriting with a Louisiana twist. These songs defined Little Feat's legend as one of rock's most distinctive voices. This 45 RPM pressing, cut by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape, opens up the soundstage with wider grooves for superior tracking, lower distortion, and richer dynamics.

Just a landmark statement of female empowerment and inspired vocal performance. Other massive hits include "(Sweet, Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone" and "Ain't No Way." Lady Soul topped the R&B charts and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

Stephen Stills – Stephen Stills
82,00 €Add to cartStephen Stills — Stephen Stills Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Stephen Stills' 1970 debut solo album Includes hit singles "Love The One You're With" and "Sit Yourself Down" 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 This self-titled solo debut from CSNY's most musically adventurous member is a tour de force of bluesy rock, Latin grooves, and pure, unfiltered Stephen Stills energy. His songs are certainly in a league with those of the other members, and it's chiefly on his solo albums that Stills's own personality comes through. Still's Top 20 hit "Love the One You're With" was the lead single from the album, released in November 1970. The album's other smash, "Sit Yourself Down," the seccond single, reached the Top 40, peaking at No. 37. Stills doesn't just play guitar here — he wrestles it into submission, layering his virtuosity over an album that sounds both meticulously crafted and effortlessly cool. Oh, and did we mention it features both Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton? Because it does. That's like having both the Beatles and the Stones as your backup band. Recorded in the wake of CSNY's success, Stephen Stills proves that while Crosby and Nash leaned into their harmonies and Young wandered off into his own world, Stills was busy crafting something bolder, grittier, and sonically rich. Stills jumps from folk to blues to Latin to orchestral balladry, but it never feels disjointed. The production is warm and immersive, with Stills playing most of the instruments himself (because of course he does). If Déjà Vu was a collaborative masterpiece, Stephen Stills is proof that he could do just fine on his own. This definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of Stephen Stills, is mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original master tape, and is pressed on 180-gram double LP at Quality Record Pressings.

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

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! When Jascha Heifetz stepped into the studio with Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the result was nothing less than legendary. Beethoven's Violin Concerto, a work of noble lyricism and timeless beauty, found in Heifetz a soloist of supreme technical command and aristocratic poise. His playing radiates both precision and passion, every phrase polished to brilliance yet never losing its expressive depth. Charles Munch, the great French maestro, was a natural partner-bringing clarity, warmth, and a rhythmic lift that perfectly complements Heifetz's elegance. The Boston Symphony, in its Living Stereo prime, provides a luminous orchestral backdrop, captured with the spacious, natural sound that made RCA recordings of the era so prized. What makes this album especially notable is the sheer electricity of the collaboration: the world's most celebrated violinist at the height of his powers, paired with a conductor and orchestra who elevate the music to exhilarating heights. For classical music fans, it offers both an ideal introduction to Beethoven's concerto and a reference performance that seasoned collectors return to again and again.

Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds! 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab Mastered from a flat 24/192 digital transfer of the original master tape. EQ'd through The Mastering Lab's analog all-tube system Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time No. 60/500! As Rolling Stone puts it, "Van Morrison's second album is quite unlike his first. For a start, there's nothing on it like ‘Brown Eyed Girl,' and that's what the world was expecting." The founder of Bang Records, the label he was signed to, had unexpectedly died. His widow blamed Morrison as the two had been arguing over the direction of his new music. Bert Berns wanted Morrison to head to a more pop orientated sound, but Morrison wanted to explore new terrain. Following the death, Morrison was blocked from recording. Warner Brothers, who subsequently signed Morrison helped him out of that deal. And Morrison set to work on recording a folk rock masterpiece, a stream of consciousness record with music a mix between folk, blues, jazz and even classical music. Astral Weeks is more than an album — it's an experience. Van Morrison's 1968 masterpiece defies genre, while rewarding listeners with new emotional and musical discoveries. It's a fusion of folk, jazz improvisation, and ethereal soul that transports the listener to another realm. Often regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time, Astral Weeks doesn't fit neatly into any category. It's Morrison's most emotional vocal performance — his voice soars, whispers, and wails, delivering poetic lyrics with an intensity that feels deeply personal yet universally resonant. With upright bass, flute, vibraphone, and acoustic guitar weaving hypnotic textures, the album's organic, free-flowing arrangements create an unparalleled sense of atmosphere. Morrison's stream-of-consciousness lyrics paint vivid, mystical portraits of youth, love, nostalgia, and longing. Tracks such as "Madame George" and "Cyprus Avenue" are cinematic in their storytelling. Van Morrison fans will immediately recognize Astral Weeks as his most adventurous and soul-baring work. It's not just music-it's a meditative, dreamlike journey that lingers long after the final note fades. Lacquers cut by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab at 45 RPM (Mastered from a flat 24/192 digital transfer of the original master tape. EQ'd through The Mastering Lab's analog all-tube system).

EQ'd through The Mastering Lab's analog all-tube system Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time No. 120/500! Equal parts blue-eyed soul shouter and wild-eyed poet-sorcerer, Van Morrison is among popular music's true innovators, a restless seeker whose incantatory vocals and alchemical fusion of R&B, jazz, blues, and Celtic folk produced what is regarded as perhaps the most spiritually transcendent body of work in the rock 'n' roll canon. Hailed by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time, Morrison's Moondance was an immediate and commercial success after the Northern Irish singer-songwriter released it on Feb. 27, 1970. After the commercial failure of his first Warner Bros. album Astral Weeks (1968), Morrison moved to upstate New York with his wife and began writing songs for Moondance. There, he met the musicians that would record the album with him at New York City's A & R Studios in August and September 1969. The album found Morrison abandoning the abstract folk jazz compositions of Astral Weeks in favor of more formally composed songs, which he wrote and produced entirely himself. Its lively rhythm and blues/rock music was the style he would become most known for in his career. The music incorporated soul, jazz, pop, and Irish folk sounds into songs about finding spiritual renewal and redemption in worldly matters such as nature, music, romantic love, and self-affirmation. Moondance helped establish Morrison as a major pop music artist while several songs from the album, including the title track, became staples of FM radio in the early 1970s. Rolling Stone's updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time has Moondance at No. 120.
