Sonny Rollins – A Night At The Village Vanguard: The Complete Masters – Blue Note Tone Poet Series Vinyl
The Saxophone Colossus Sonny Rollins had already recorded three Blue Note studio dates for Alfred Lion—Sonny Rollins, Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2, and Newk’s Time—by the time he walked down the stairs of the Village Vanguard on November 3, 1957 to record his first-ever live album, as well as the first-ever live album to be recorded at the iconic New York City jazz club: A Night at the Village Vanguard.

Elvis Presley – Blue Hawaii – MoFi 180g 45RPM 2LP Vinyl
MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES AND PRESSED AT RTI
1/4″ / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
The old adage about Elvis Presley is that his soundtrack work never held a candle next to his studio albums. Though true for a majority of his film-related outings, the traditional notion is forever disproved by his Blue Hawaii set. Originally released in 1961 in support of the film in which he starred, the triple-platinum LP spent nearly five months at the top of the Billboard album charts; outsold his two prior studio efforts; and ultimately, remains the second-best-selling soundtrack of the musical-dominant 1960s. And now, it has received sonic treatment befitting rock royalty.

Warren Zevon – Excitable Boy – 180g 45RPM 2LP Mofi Vinyl
Sourced From The Original Analog Tapes For Definitive Sound 1/4″ / 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
Excitable Boy established Warren Zevon as rock’s gonzo figurehead – or, as Jackson Browne aptly called him, “the first and foremost proponent of song noir.” A supreme collision of over-caffeinated energy, acerbic wit, dark humor, irreverent reporting, bittersweet romance, swept-under-the-rug truth, and illicit desire sent up with booze, pills, and therapist confessions, the breakthrough album zeroes in on frightening aspects of American culture with an incisiveness that’s even sharper today than upon the effort’s release in 1978. And the music has never sounded so excitable.
