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. But it's the full album that keeps drawing listeners back: "High and Dry," "Carefree Highway," "Seven Island Suite" — each a masterclass in songwriting craft and emotional subtlety. 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. The pressing — handled by Quality Record Pressings, the gold standard for vinyl perfection — offers the quietest surfaces and flattest profiles possible, ensuring every note plays with breathtaking presence and clarity. For fans of Lightfoot, for lovers of the singer-songwriter era, and for anyone who wants to hear a timeless album in the form it deserves, this Sundown reissue is the definitive way to experience a classic reborn.

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.

All the tones, overtones, and rhythmic subtleties are vivid, present, and true." — Fred Kaplan, The Absolute Sound, February/March 2005 The second album by the original Bill Evans group was recorded after the pianist, bassist Scott LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian had spent a year working together and honing the telepathy that established a new standard for trio interaction. Featuring intimate readings of several standards, plus three compositions from the jazz world that became synonymous with the trio’s sounds, and with ample space for LaFaro’s virtuosity to shine, the album was cited by Evans years later as among his own favorite recordings. -

While I don't own the original releases, the 45 rpm reissues are clearly better, even after VTA adjustments, the later OJC reissues or the earlier 33 1/3 rpm Analogue Productions releases. 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!" — Myles Astor, Positive-Feedback Online, Issue 34, www.positive-feedback.com Bill Evans was left reeling by the accidental death of his brilliant bassist Scott LaFaro in mid-1961 and didn't feel ready to record with his new bassist until nearly a year later. When he did go into the studio in May and June of 1962 with Chuck Israels and drummer Paul Motian, the "second trio" produced material for two albums that were to be among Evans's most popular.Moonbeams includes ballad material from the sessions. The rest of the music from the sessions is in How My Heart Sings! In Moonbeams, Evans did some of his most introspective playing, his sense of loss apparent but relieved by Israels' power and empathy. "Polka Dots and Moonbeams," "If You Could See Me Now," and the others represent Evans at his best, his lyricism underlaid with rhythmic firmness even in the extraordinarily slow "In Love in Vain." -

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.

Bill Evans – Quintessence
82,00 €Add to cartBill Evans — Quintessence Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering Double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Ready yourselves, jazz aficionados, for modal piano brilliance, Bill Evans style! Released in 1977, Bill Evans — Quintessence, has the maestro diving headfirst into a lush, melodic hornscape — an elegant, smoky surprise. Let's start with the man himself. By 1977, Bill Evans was less of a pianist and more of a philosopher with 88 keys. His technique? Still gentle, still whispery, still capable of melting diamonds. But here, he brings his lyrical poetry into a new context: a quintet. That's right — not just his beloved trio format, but a quintet, people. No safety net. No piano bench to hide behind. Just sheer harmonic magic. The Evans dream team of supporting players was a stellar lineup. Starting with Harold Land (tenor sax) — The West Coast legend whose tone is so smooth it could pass as jazz-flavored gelato. Warm, reflective, and the perfect foil to Evans' crystalline touch. Next, there's Kenny Burrell (guitar). Playing with such subtlety you'd swear he was painting chords with a sable brush. Never flashy, always perfect. On bass, Ray Brown — The anchor of jazz itself. You want groove? He'll give you groove. You want soul? He's got that in spades too. And on drums, Philly Joe Jones. Because if you're gonna swing, you call the guy who made Miles Davis' band sweat. Together, they form a unit so tight it's basically a telepathic jazz circle. They're not just supporting Bill — they're expanding him! What's On the Menu? "Sweet Dulcinea" — A tune that proves you don't need to play fast to say something profound. "Bass Face" — Ray Brown gets the spotlight, and boy does he shine. "Martina" — A waltz so beautiful it should come with a warning label: may cause reflective gazing into middle distance. "Second Time Around" — A standard for an album that's all about elegance, subtle swing, and refined musicianship. "A Child Is Born" — The kind of rendition that makes you think maybe the world isn't so bad after all. So why add Quintessence to your collection? Because this is Bill Evans unplugged from the trio comfort zone, letting his lush harmonic sensibilities dance with top-tier horn players and rhythm gods. This album is meditative but never sleepy, introspective but never self-indulgent. It's rich, warm, and brimming with the quiet confidence of a master stretching his wings just because he can. This reissue brims with superior quality. Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Plus it's housed in a Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish. Bottom line, if your jazz collection is missing Quintessence, it's like owning a Picasso with a blank corner. This is the kind of record that sneaks up on you — not flashy, but unforgettable. Go ahead. You deserve this kind of quintet magic.

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!" Myles Astor, Positive-Feedback Online, Issue 34, www.positive-feedback.com Almost every one of the 11 albums featuring Bill Evans that were issued during his pivotal early years (1956-1964) with Riverside were trio performances. Of the two exceptions, one was strictly speaking not an Evans record (Know What I Mean?, a quartet album that featured Bill but was under the leadership of Cannonball Adderley.) The other is Interplay. Adding trumpet and guitar to create an unusual quintet alignment, concentrating on the standard tunes, and with brighter tempos than are generally associated with his playing, it is a uniquely valuable addition to the catalog of perhaps the most important pianist in modern jazz. "There is nothing not to like on this two-record set from the Fantasy archives brought to new life by Messrs. Hoffman and Gray…Acoustic Sounds are half-way home with this, their third series of 45RPM re-issues. These releases have done wonders for my greater understanding and appreciation of jazz, simply by providing the best, most enjoyable sound from landmark albums such as this. When you see the names in this quintet, you can rest assured you've got some first-rate musicians waiting to perform. Add to this the history and depth of repertoire in the Riverside label (as well as the other catalogues that fall under the Fantasy – now Concord Music – umbrella) and you can see why this project just keeps on giving you great performances by great artists offered up in studio quality sound. There is something for everyone on this album and the pristine surfaces accompanied by excellent artistic arrangements and playing, set the stage for a real treat. Evans is so easy on the ears and his carefree, articulate style is mesmerizing." Recording = 8/10; Music = 7.5/10 – Richard Foster, Hi-Fi+, Issue 43 -

Praise for our 331/3 edition series reissues: "So far, Analogue Productions' series of outstanding reissues have avoided the missteps of the previous Classic Records issues, instead offering real improvements over the originals. ... The latest release, of this title and the Offenbach Gaite Parisienne (LSC 1817), keeps a perfect track record of outstanding Living Stereo releases by Analogue Productions. Pristine surfaces and better-defined layers of sound along with much finer texture add up to a wonderful experience of the famous Organ Symphony. The original is almost coarse sounding compared to this reissue. While the Offenbach reissue does not eclipse the original in all areas, the original remains very expensive and the reissue is superb." Recording = 10/10; Music = 10/10 - Dennis D. Davis, Hi-Fi +, Issue 119 "These are the best vinyl releases of RCA LPs I've yet heard." — Jonathan Valin, executive editor, The Absolute Sound This performance of the Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 (Organ Symphony) is a favorite Living Stereo release. To say that it is incredible might be an understatement. The original 3-track session tapes were used in mastering for the LPs and SACDS in this Analogue Productions reissue series. The record reveals all of the glory of the recording and the precision and passion of Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston's Symphony Hall.

Muddy Waters – The Real Folk Blues (Mono)
44,00 €Add to cartMuddy Waters — The Real Folk Blues (Mono) Chess Records 75 Series from Chess Records and Acoustic Sounds! All-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab 180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings Issued by Chess Records at the height of the 1960s folk revival, this classic compilation cleverly reframed Waters' early Chicago recordings with a title and cover that aligned him with a new, younger audience discovering the roots of American music. The irony, of course, is that Muddy didn't need repositioning. He was the source. Although most of these tracks were recorded in Chicago studios, often with electric guitar in the mix, the spirit is unmistakably down-home. There's a stark, front-porch authority in the performances — spare instrumentation, unvarnished arrangements, and a gritty, conversational vocal style that carries the emotional weight of Delta tradition straight into the urban blues era. This is the Muddy Waters who changed the language of modern blues. "Mannish Boy" stomps with primal swagger, its hypnotic riff and call-and-response vocal becoming one of the most recognizable signatures in postwar blues. "Screamin' & Cryin'" and "Just To Be With You" simmer with tension and longing, while "Walking Blues" reconnects directly to the Delta lineage that Waters absorbed in his youth. "Walking In The Park," "Same Thing," and "Canary Bird" round out a program that's stacked with grit, groove, and raw storytelling.

Howlin’ Wolf – The Real Folk Blues (Mono)
44,00 €Add to cartHowlin' Wolf — The Real Folk Blues (Mono) Chess Records 75 Series from Chess Records and Acoustic Sounds! Mastered from digital sources by Matt Lutthans at The Mastering Lab 180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings Most of Chess Records' Real Folk Blues albums were compilations of singles recorded over a span of years (in Wolf's case, from 1956 to 1965). This album did not fit the usual definitions of "folk blues," featuring instead Chicago urban blues by an incomparable singer and a host of great sidemen (including Hubert Sumlin and Buddy Guy), but Chess was making a move to remarket the blues to a new audience that had developed with the boom in folk music. This was Chess' second LP of Wolf singles, and a comment posted on the Blues Hall of Fame web site about the first LP applies to this one too: "Considering how many of the songs here have become standards in the repertoires of countless blues and rock bands, it's hard to fathom that none of these Wolf 45s sold well enough to make the Billboard R&B charts." The Real Folk Blues classics include "Killing Floor," "Tail Dragger," "Built for Comfort," and "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy."

All-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab 180-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings Includes the charting singles "No Particular Place To Go," "You Never Can Tell," "Little Marie" and more! By 1964, Chuck Berry had already rewritten the rules of rock 'n' roll. With St. Louis to Liverpool, his seventh studio album for Chess Records, he proved he could still push the music forward with style, swagger, and unforgettable songwriting. This was the first Berry studio LP to crack the U.S. Billboard album chart — a long-overdue breakthrough that signaled just how deeply his sound had taken hold. The album is stacked with hits, featuring four of Berry's five charting singles from 1964: the cruising, grin-inducing "No Particular Place to Go," the effortlessly cool "You Never Can Tell," the runaway-train energy of "Promised Land," and the bright, melodic "Little Marie." Decades later, You Never Can Tell would achieve a second life — and iconic status — when John Travolta and Uma Thurman danced to it in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. All-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, 180-gram vinyl pressed by Quality Record Pressings. For collectors and rock enthusiasts, St. Louis to Liverpool stands as one of Berry's most cohesive, joyfully creative records — a perfect blend of sharp storytelling, signature guitar fire, and pure rock 'n' roll charm.

Van Morrison – His Band And The Street Choir
82,00 €Add to cartVan Morrison — His Band And The Street Choir 1970 album includes "Domino," "Blue Money" and "Call Me Up In Dreamland" 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 Legendary Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison produced two of the most famous albums of his career — Astral Weeks and Moondance — but overlooked is this gem because of its proximity to those two heavyweights. His Band And The Street Choir came into existence predominantly during the first half of 1970 at A&R Recording Studios in New York City, with recording wrapping up in July and August. Produced by Morrison himself, the album actually started out in Woodstock, New York, where he recorded some demos in a small church. By March, however, the album's session had begun in earnest in NYC. Some of the songs had actually been first recorded for those earlier two albums we mentioned, but Morrison decided to rewrite them and rearrange them for the new LP, since the musical sensibilities on His Band And The Street Choir were decidedly different from the albums that preceded it. As Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote on Pitchfork., "The album gives an illusion of buoyant immediacy thanks in no small part to its heavy R&B kick. Where Moondance traded in jazz — even its liveliest moment was named after a Duke Ellington song — His Band And The Street Choir relied on soul and gospel, using folk almost as an accent." It's fair to say that critics at the time gushed over the album. "His Band And The Street Choir is a free album," Jon Landau wrote in his Rolling Stone review. "It was recorded with minimal over-dubbing and was obviously intended to show the other side of Moondance." His Band And The Street Choir captures Van Morrison at his most joyful and spontaneous — a luminous counterpoint to the introspection of Moondance. This is the sound of a great artist unguarded, caught in the groove of the moment, with the energy of the studio practically spilling out of the grooves. If you love the sound of real instruments recorded with warmth and soul, Street Choir belongs in your collection.

82,00 €Add to cartTony Joe White — Tony Joe White Southern soul, swamp rock, and the restless spirit of a changing America 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 from the original master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing Tony Joe White, nicknamed the Swamp Fox, released his fourth album, and his first for Warner Bros. Records in 1971. The album was recorded over a two-week period in December 1970, in two different Memphis studios (one was Ardent Studios, where Big Star later recorded their influential power pop albums). His producer was none other than London-born Peter Asher, who had just produced James Taylor's early hits for the label (he would continue to produce hits for Taylor and Linda Ronstadt on his way to becoming one of the most successful producers of the '70s). AllMusic describes the songs on Tony Joe White as "standard and straightforward ... White's husky southern warble remains the album's key focus." Still, White digs into the turbulence of the late '60s and early '70s with both heart and heat. "The Change" sets the tone, a smoky, spoken-word sermon that taps into the era's yearning for progress. "I Just Walked Away" (the album's standout single) balances Southern funk and raw emotional punch, while "The Daddy" and "Five Summers for Jimmy" reveal White's tender, introspective side. The autobiographical "A Night in the Life of a Swamp Fox" closes the album with a nod to the man behind the myth — a road-weary musician caught between fame and freedom. Tony Joe White stands as a defining moment for one of music's most distinctive voices — a swamp-rock masterpiece steeped in social reflection and Southern soul, raw and timelessly American.

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 Members of The Meters were longstanding musical luminaries in New Orleans, but by the time of 1975's Fire On The Bayou, the world beyond the Big Easy had also taken notice; The Rolling Stones tapped the band to open their U.S. tour that year. Produced by the great Allen Toussaint at his Sea-Saint Studios, the collection was the quintet's third for Reprise and arguably their best for the label. With percussionist Cyril Neville joining the ranks, the grooves get even funkier on these 11 tracks, as a couple of fine covers ("Mardi Gras Mambo") join ace originals like "Out in the Country," "They All Ask'd For You," and the title track.
