T. Rex – Electric Warrior (1971) [2003, Reissue, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]

T. Rex - Electric Warrior (1971) [2003, Reissue, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The album that essentially kick-started the U.K. glam rock craze, Electric Warrior completes T.Rex’s transformation from hippie folk-rockers into flamboyant avatars of trashy rock & roll. There are a few vestiges of those early days remaining in the acoustic-driven ballads, but Electric Warrior spends most of its time in a swinging, hip-shaking groove powered by Marc Bolan’s warm electric guitar.

Mannheim Steamroller – Fresh Aire 8 (2000) [2016, Audio Fidelity Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Mannheim Steamroller - Fresh Aire 8 (2000) [2016, Audio Fidelity Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Fresh Aire 8 is the final album in the Mannheim Steamroller Fresh Aire series. Fresh Aire 8 has a full sound that offers a well-balanced blend of synthesizers and orchestra richly augmented by the London Symphony. Always thematic affairs, the topic this time is Infinity and how it relates to all facets of human life…love, art, philosophy, mathematics and of course music. This allows for some rather bizarre musical pieces as classic Mannheim Steamroller riffs weave their way through the tapestry of new sounds.

Label: Audio Fidelity | Austria | Cat#: AFZ5 196 | Genre: R&B

The finest of Labelle’s original albums, Nightbirds was recorded in New Orleans with funkmeister Allen Toussaint handling the production chores and, one assumes, members of the Meters taking care of the session work. Worth the price of admission for the Bob Crewe-written “Lady Marmalade” alone, the album veers between the strutting New Orleans, horn-laden singles and more mainstream pop material Continue reading “Labelle – Nightbirds (1974) [2015, Audio Fidelity Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

As the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) had done a year earlier, Super Session (1968) initially ushered in several new phases in rock & roll’s concurrent transformation. In the space of months, the soundscape of rock shifted radically from short, danceable pop songs to comparatively longer works with more attention to technical and musical subtleties. Enter the unlikely all-star triumvirate of Al Kooper (piano/organ/ondioline/vocals/guitars), Mike Bloomfield (guitar), and Stephen Stills (guitar) — all of whom were concurrently Continue reading “Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Steve Stills – Super Session (1968) [2014, Audio Fidelity Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Sam Cooke – Portrait Of A Legend 1951-1964 (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Sam Cooke - Portrait Of A Legend 1951-1964 (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Some 46 years after his first pop hit, and 39 years after his death, comes only the second attempt at a comprehensive Sam Cooke collection. Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 eclipses RCA’s early-’80s The Man and His Music, going it better in running time but losing some important recordings — “That’s Heaven to Me” and “Soothe Me,” arguably one of Cooke’s most important songs — in the process of summing up his career.

Sam Cooke – Tribute To The Lady (1959) [2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Sam Cooke - Tribute To The Lady (1959) [2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Tribute to the Lady is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Sam Cooke, released in 1959. It was recorded in tribute to jazz vocalist Billie Holiday, who died later that year. The backing band is the René Hall Orchestra. Continue reading “Sam Cooke – Tribute To The Lady (1959) [2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Sam Cooke – Ain’t That Good News (1964) [2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Sam Cooke - Ain't That Good News (1964) [2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The last of his studio albums released in his lifetime, Sam Cooke’s Ain’t That Good News offers a lot of superb material, pointing in several directions that, alas, were to go largely unexplored. The central number is, of course, the earth-shattering “A Change Is Gonna Come,” with its soaring gospel sound and the most elaborate production of any song in Cooke’s output.

Otis Redding – Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul (1965) [2016, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Otis Redding - Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul (1965) [2016, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Otis Redding’s third album, and his first fully realized album, presents his talent unfettered, his direction clear, and his confidence emboldened, with fully half the songs representing a reach that extended his musical grasp. More than a quarter of this album is given over to Redding’s versions of songs by Sam Cooke, his idol, who had died the previous December, and all three are worth owning and hearing.

Charles Aznavour – La Mamma (1963) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Charles Aznavour - La Mamma (1963) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

La mamma is the eleventh French studio album by the French singer Charles Aznavour, released in 1963. It achieved TOP1 in France for several weeks, Spain (also TOP1), it was a TOP10 hit in Belgium, Holland, and other countries. It became a bestseller, and sold over a million copies only in France. The English version of ‘La Mama’ entitled ‘For Mama’, was written in 1964, with words by Don Black and became a hit in Philippines. In the US Ray Charles performed it.

Diana Ross – All The Great Hits (1981) [2018, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Diana Ross - All The Great Hits (1981) [2018, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Diana Ross is certainly a diva of goddess-like proportions. Whether joined by the Supremes, or out on her own, her voice is unmistakable and powerful, plus she possesses the uncanny ability to take songs penned by others and make them very much her own — to imbibe them with her very soul.
