Lou Reed – The RCA & Arista Album Collection (2016) [17CD Box Set]

Lou Reed - The RCA & Arista Album Collection (2016) [17CD Box Set]

In 1972, Lou Reed was a minor cult hero to a handful of rock critics and left-of-center music fans who championed his former band, the Velvet Underground, but he was unknown to the mainstream music audience. By 1986, Reed was a rock & roll icon, widely hailed as a master songwriter and one of the founding fathers of punk, glam, noise rock, and any number of other vital rock subgenres; he even scored a few hits along the way.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out (1959) [1992, MasterSound Remastered]

Dave Brubeck’s defining masterpiece, Time Out is one of the most rhythmically innovative albums in jazz history, the first to consciously explore time signatures outside of the standard 4/4 beat or 3/4 waltz time. It was a risky move — Brubeck’s record company wasn’t keen on releasing such an arty project Continue reading “The Dave Brubeck Quartet – Time Out (1959) [1992, MasterSound Remastered]”

John Mayall With Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers (1966) [2009, Audio Fidelity Remastered]

Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton was Eric Clapton’s first fully realized album as a blues guitarist — more than that, it was a seminal blues album of the 1960s, perhaps the best British blues album ever cut, and the best LP ever recorded by John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Standing midway between Clapton’s stint with the Yardbirds and the formation of Cream, this album featured the new guitar hero on a series of stripped-down blues standards, Mayall pieces, and one Mayall/Clapton composition Continue reading “John Mayall With Eric Clapton – Blues Breakers (1966) [2009, Audio Fidelity Remastered]”
