Peter, Paul & Mary – Album 1700 – Analogue Productions 180g 45 RPM Vinyl
This is a phenomenal reissue of a significant album for the famed folk rock trio. Album 1700, released in 1967, yielded the group’s final hit single (and only No. 1), “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” It also yielded graceful folk-rock trappings for their repertoire of originals and covers by, among others, Bob Dylan and Eric Anderson, writes David Wolf for Amazon.com.
Petteri Iivonen: J.S. Bach Partita No. 2 in D Minor 180g 45RPM Vinyl
After living a number of years in the United States, GRAMMY® and ICMA Nominated Finnish violinist Petteri Iivonen returned to Europe where he became concertmaster of the Finnish Opera orchestra in Helsinki before moving to Paris to serve as concertmaster for the Paris Opera. Petteri’s ability to play in many styles with sincerity and his natural lyrical facility with his instrument made him the ideal candidate to work with luminary conductors such as Esa-Pekka Salonen in Helsinki and now Gustavo Dudamel at Paris Opera.
Pharoah Sanders – Live – Theresa Records 180 Vinyl 2 LP Gatefold Sleeve
This album features Pharoah Sanders playing some no-nonsense tenor in a quartet with pianist John Hicks, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer Idris Muhammad. Sanders performs “It’s Easy to Remember” (in a style very reminiscent of early-’60s John Coltrane), an original blues, and two of his compositions, including the passionate “You’ve Got to Have Freedom.”
The musicianship is at a high level and, although Sanders does not shriek as much as one might hope (the Trane-ish influence was particularly strong during this relatively mellow period), he is in fine form. Review by Scott Yanow/AMG

Phasemation CA-1000 Pre Amplifier (3 Units)
Functions required for a control amplifier (pre-amplifier) are to select a signal source, to adjust the volume, and to transmit a music signal for a power amplifier.
Phasemation’s CA-1000 is an outstanding control pre-amplifier consisting of 3 units with high performance and high quality of sound due to adopting the mono structure consisting of separated two units, left and right, and the circuit using a tube for the signal processing section.
The most important section of the audio playing equipment is the volume adjustment adopting a hybrid attenuator (Phasemation’s own patent technology) and the relay switching method (not using a rotary switch) utilizing the control technology acquired through extensive measurements and testing. As a result, you can feel the overwhelming liveliness, the re-creation of vista-ed stage, and a rich musicality to the point you are no longer aware of the presence of the amplifier.
