82,00 €Add to cartAmerica — Homcoming The sound of the '70s California dream — warmer, wider and more alive than ever! Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds! Mastered from the original analog master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket With Homecoming (1972), America proved their debut success was no fluke. The band — Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley, and Dan Peek — expanded their acoustic folk-pop foundation into something lusher, more textured, and timelessly melodic. The result is one of the definitive albums of the era - a sunlit blend of shimmering harmonies, open-road optimism, and introspective songwriting. Anchored by the band's enduring classic "Ventura Highway," Homecoming also delivers gems such as "Don't Cross the River," "Only in Your Heart," and "Till the Sun Comes Up Again." The platinum-selling album captured America's easygoing West Coast vibe — and cemented their place beside Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Eagles in the pantheon of classic ‘70s rock harmony.

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 -

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)
77,00 €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
82,00 €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
82,00 €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.

Charles Munch, Boston Symphony Orchestra – Ravel: Bolero
82,00 €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 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.

82,00 €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.

But folks, you can buy this one on heavy, audiophile vinyl brand new at a cost considerably lower than a used and potentially compromised original press. To me, it is a no brainer. I heard things in this pressing that I didn't hear before." — Dr. Ryan Oldham, UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance, and curator of classical music at Vinyl Renaissance in Kansas City. Read the full review. One of the most sought-after Living Stereos and deservedly so, especially for the "Song of the Nightingale" which is one of Mohr and Layton's finest efforts.

Not as spectacular as the previous two titles because the (mostly) Albéniz compositions aren't as consistently slam-bang dynamic, though when the music heats up so do the sonic thrills." — Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound.com, June 11, 2013. To read the full review click here: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/sneak-preview-acoustic-sounds-rca-reissues/ This record includes Falla's Dance from the Three-Cornered Hat and La Vida Breve and Albeniz's Trina from Oberia. Transcribed for Orchestra by Arbos. Great performances and sensational sonics! Among Spaniards there is no greater composer than Manuel de Falla — the tang of the country, the swirl of its landscape, the passion of its people are proudly stamped on every note he wrote. Goyescas, written in 1915 by the Spanish composer Enrique Granados, was the first opera performed in Spanish at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City at its premier in January 1916. The Intermezzo from the opera, inspired by the paintings of Francisco Goya, became a popular independent concert piece. Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz composed the Iberia suite for piano between 1905 and 1909. It was his best-known work and considered his masterpiece.

Gregor Piatigorsky, Charles Munch, Boston Symphony Orchestra – Dvorak: Cello Concerto
82,00 €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 electricity of great artistry meeting great music the way this one does. In this landmark RCA Living Stereo release, the legendary cellist Gregor Piatigorsky joins forces with Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra for a performance of Dvorák's Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104 that has stood as a reference point for decades. Why does it remain so revered? For one, Piatigorsky's playing strikes the perfect balance between nobility and fire. His tone is deep and commanding, yet his phrasing has a warmth and lyricism that makes the concerto's tender passages glow. Every note feels like it carries the weight of lived experience. Then there's Munch, whose famously spontaneous, almost volatile conducting style matches Piatigorsky's intensity measure for measure. Under his direction, the Boston Symphony surges with vitality-lush strings, blazing brass, and a rhythmic drive that gives the concerto its sweeping drama. It's a meeting of two larger-than-life personalities, captured in the full splendor of RCA's legendary three-microphone Living Stereo process. Collectors and connoisseurs often place this among the very finest of the Living Stereo catalog — not just for the star power, but because it embodies everything the series is about: audiophile sound, inspired artistry, and performances that feel alive, as if the music is being created in the moment.
