82,00 €Add to cartAnalogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! 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.

There are five Redding originals here, the timeless "These Arms Of Mine" Redding's first to hit the charts, "Hey Hey Baby" is an influenced tribute to Little Richard, and also "Security," "That's What My Heart Needs," and "Something Is Worrying Me." Notable covers include Ben E King's "Stand By Me," Sam Cooke's "You Send Me," The Kingsmen's "Louie Louie," and Little Richard's "Lucille."

Aretha Franklin – Young, Gifted And Black

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Graham Nash – Songs For Beginners

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.

SACD Steely Dan – The Royal Scam
SACD44,00 €Add to cartThe Royal Scam — Steely Dan's platinum-selling fifth studio album reissue Hybrid Stereo SACD release from Analogue Productions! Mastered direct to DSD from the original master tape by Bernie Grundman Plays in all CD and SACD players Steely Dan's platinum-selling fifth studio album The Royal Scam, was produced by Gary Katz and was originally released by ABC Records in 1976. The Royal Scam features more prominent guitar work than the prior Steely Dan album, Katy Lied, which had been the first without founding guitarist Jeff Baxter. Guitarists on the recording include Walter Becker, Denny Dias, Larry Carlton, Elliott Randall and Dean Parks. The album was certified platinum-selling and peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200. In common with other Steely Dan albums, The Royal Scam is littered with cryptic allusions to people and events both real and fictional. In a BBC interview in 2000, Becker and Fagen revealed that "Kid Charlemagne" is loosely based on Owsley Stanley, the notorious drug "chef" who was famous for manufacturing hallucinogenic compounds, and that "Caves of Altamira," based on a book by Hans Baumann, is about the loss of innocence, the narrative about a visitor to the Cave of Altamira who registers his astonishment at the prehistoric drawings. Rolling Stone, in its review of the album, described The Royal Scam, as Steely Dan's "mostatypical record, possessing neither obvious AM material nor seductive lyrical mysteriousness. It also contains some of their most accomplished and enjoyable music. "... the overall feeling of Scam is one of just that: tension. There is little of the self-confident gentleness that dotted Pretzel Logic, less still of the omniscience that suffused Katy Lied. The Royal Scam is a transitional album for Steely Dan; melody dominates lyric in the sense that the former pushes into new rhythmic areas for the group (more "pure" jazz, semireggae and substantially more orchestration than before) while the verbal content is clearer, even mundane, by previous Dan standards," said the Rolling Stone review. Nearly every song on Scam concerns a narrator's escape from a crime or sing recently committed, the review continued. "Becker and Fagen have really written the ultimate 'outlaw' album here, something that eludes myriad Southern bands because their concept of the outlaw is so limited. Rather than just, say, robbing banks ('Don't Take Me Alive,' in which the robber is a 'bookkeeper's son'), Becker and Fagen's various protagonists are also solipsistic jewel thieves ('Green Earrings'), spendthrift divorcées ('Haitian Divorce') and murderously jealous lovers ('Everything You Did')." AllMusic gives the album 4.5 stars, saying the best songs on The Royal Scam, "Kid Charlemagne" and "Sign in Stranger" "rank as genuine Steely Dan classics." The album cover shows a man in a suit, sleeping on a radiator, and apparently dreaming of skyscraper-beast hybrids. The cover was created from a painting by Zox and a photograph by Charlie Ganse, and was originally created for Van Morrison's unreleased 1975 album, Mechanical Bliss, the concept being a satire of the American Dream. In the liner notes for the 1999 remaster of the album, Fagen and Becker claim it to be "the most hideous album cover of the seventies, bar none (excepting perhaps Can't Buy a Thrill)." After a brief battle with esophageal cancer, Walter Becker died on September 3, 2017 at the age of 67. Steely Dan has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2001. VH1 ranked Steely Dan at No. 82 on their list of the 100 Greatest Musical Artists of All Time. Rolling Stone ranked them No. 15 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time.

SACD Genesis – A Trick Of The Tail
SACD44,00 €Add to cartAnalogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! First Genesis album to feature Phil Collins as lead vocalist! Featuring "Dance On A Volcano" and "Squonk" Hybrid Stereo SACD Genesis' seventh studio album was released in February 1976 on Charisma Records and was the first to feature drummer Phil Collins as lead vocalist after the departure of Peter Gabriel. The album was a critical and commercial success in the U.K. and U.S., reaching No. 3 and No. 31 respectively. A Trick Of The Tail was a landmark album for the band, and it still stands today as one of their best with classics such as "Dance On A Volcano" and "Squonk."
In the wake of Peter Gabriel's departure from the band, the remaining members of Genesis were determined to forge ahead, showcasing their songwriting prowess and recording prowess in the absence of their iconic frontman. This period marked the genesis of A Trick of the Tail. In mid-1975, the band embarked on an intensive creative journey, crafting new compositions and diligently rehearsing them. Their quest for a new lead vocalist led them to sift through a staggering 400 audition tapes. As the autumn leaves began to fall, Genesis found themselves at Trident Studios in October, accompanied by producer David Hentschel. Surprisingly, the recording sessions began with an air of uncertainty regarding who would take on the role of lead vocalist. However, fate intervened when Phil Collins was persuaded to step up and deliver a powerful rendition of "Squonk." The strength of his performance not only won over the band but also paved the way for him to assume lead vocals for the entirety of the album. Genesis has always been synonymous with grandeur and innovation, both in their electrifying live performances and their trailblazing studio albums. From timeless classics such as Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound, to the epic concept album The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of musical creativity. Over the span of four remarkable decades, Genesis has left an indelible mark on the music industry, having sold a staggering 150 million albums worldwide. Their influence extends far and wide, inspiring artists ranging from the indie rock stylings of Elbow to the experimental sounds of The Flaming Lips, and even the soulful resonance of Jeff Buckley. A Trick of the Tail stands as a testament to their enduring legacy and their ability to adapt and thrive in the face of change. -

Featuring "Abacab," "No Reply At All," and "Man on the Corner" Hybrid Stereo SACD Certified multi-platinum-selling in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, Genesis' album Abacab, released in 1981, marked the band's move from their progressive music roots to more accessible and pop-oriented songs. Genesis released four singles from the album, the most successful being "Abacab" and "No Reply at All," together with "Man on the Corner." Extensive radio play helped boost the album's commercial success. The album was engineered by Hugh Padgham, known for his work with other successful artists like Phil Collins and The Police. His production techniques, including the gated reverb drum sound, contributed to the album's modern and radio-friendly sound. In November 1980 the band bought Fisher Lane Farm, a farmhouse with an adjoining cowshed near Chiddingfold, Surrey, as their new private rehearsal and recording facility. In the process of remodelling the building into a studio, the trio reconvened in the farm house to write and rehearse new material, which initially took place in the living room, and they started recording Abacab in March 1981 once the studio was operational. It was the first Genesis album recorded in England since A Trick of the Tail (1976). This Hybrid Stereo SACD Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of the classic Abacab is a sonic gift for all true Genesis fans!

Yes – Close To The Edge
82,00 €Add to cartFebruary 7th 2025 Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Yes' 1972 Atlantic Records masterpiece! 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 with textured stock by Stoughton Printing Yes's 1972 3-track recording masterpiece, Close to the Edge, presents a snapshot of an adventurous rock band at the peak of its powers, daring to push itself musically, both as individuals and as a unit. The first half of the 1970s was an especially fertile period for British progressive rock, laying claim to classics such as Tarkus, Selling England by the Pound, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, The Dark Side of the Moon, and Thick as a Brick. Collectively these and other works represent the best British progressive rock had to offer. Yet, many reviewers cite Close to the Edge as the ultimate prog rock album. Author and music journalist Will Romano writes: "Yes had previously penned epic tracks for The Yes Album and Fragile, but nothing on the magnitude of the musical gems appearing on Close to the Edge. It's something of a small miracle — perhaps even magic — that the virtuoso quintet crafted such a cohesive and compelling album during an often-hectic recording process that very nearly relegated this monumental work to the dustbin of history." The album's centrepiece is the 18-minute title track, with themes and lyrics inspired by the Herman Hesse novel Siddhartha. Side two contains two non-conceptual tracks, the folk-inspired "And You and I" and the comparatively straightforward rocker "Siberian Khatru." Original drummer Bill Bruford found the album particularly laborious to make, which culminated in his decision to quit the band after it was recorded, to join King Crimson. Close to the Edge became the band's greatest commercial success at the time of release. It peaked at No. 4 on the U.K. Albums Chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, the highest position Yes has reached on the latter chart. In 2020, Close to the Edge was ranked at No. 445 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, and housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket with textured stock by Stoughton Printing.

Featuring "Abacab," "No Reply At All," and "Man on the Corner" 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Certified multi-platinum-selling in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, Genesis' album Abacab, released in 1981, marked the band's move from their progressive music roots to more accessible and pop-oriented songs. Genesis released four singles from the album, the most successful being "Abacab" and "No Reply at All," together with "Man on the Corner." Extensive radio play helped boost the album's commercial success. The album was engineered by Hugh Padgham, known for his work with other successful artists like Phil Collins and The Police. His production techniques, including the gated reverb drum sound, contributed to the album's modern and radio-friendly sound. In November 1980 the band bought Fisher Lane Farm, a farmhouse with an adjoining cowshed near Chiddingfold, Surrey, as their new private rehearsal and recording facility. In the process of remodelling the building into a studio, the trio reconvened in the farm house to write and rehearse new material, which initially took place in the living room, and they started recording Abacab in March 1981 once the studio was operational. It was the first Genesis album recorded in England since A Trick of the Tail (1976). This is the definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of the classic Abacab. A sonic gift for all true Genesis fans!
