The Carpenters - The Singles 1969-1973 (1973) [2014, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The Singles: 1969–1973 is an album by the brother/sister pop duo the Carpenters. A greatest hits collection, it topped the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom and became one of the best-selling albums of the 1970s. Features of this compilation include a newly recorded version of “Top of the World”, “Ticket to Ride” and a number of musical introductions and segues between the songs “Superstar”, “Rainy Days and Mondays” and “Goodbye to Love”, the latter two were sped up in pitch, much to the regret of Richard in subsequent years. It has been certified 7× platinum in the US alone. In the UK, the album reached number 1 for 17 (non-consecutive) weeks.

Jimi Hendrix’s electrifying first Band of Gypsys performance! Mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Bernie Grundman Never-before-released material from the first New Year’s Eve set! Jimi Hendrix closed 1969 by disbanding the Jimi Hendrix Experience and assembling a new group, the short-lived Band of Gypsys.

Cat Stevens – Tea For The Tillerman (1970) [2011, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman (1970) [2011, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Mona Bone Jakon only began Cat Stevens’ comeback. Seven months later, he returned with Tea for the Tillerman, an album in the same chamber-group style, employing the same musicians and producer, but with a far more confident tone. Mona Bone Jakon had been full of references to death, but Tea for the Tillerman was not about dying; Continue reading “Cat Stevens – Tea For The Tillerman (1970) [2011, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Don McLean – American Pie (1971) [2016, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Don McLean - American Pie (1971) [2016, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Don McLean’s second album, American Pie, which was his first to gain recognition after the negligible initial sales of 1970’s Tapestry, is necessarily dominated by its title track, a lengthy, allegorical history of rock & roll, because it became an unlikely hit, topping the singles chart and putting the LP at number one as well. “American Pie” has remained as much a cultural touchstone as a song, sung by everyone from Garth Brooks to Madonna, its title borrowed for a pair of smutty teen comedies, while the record itself has earned a registered three-million plays on U.S. radio stations.

Although they have common recording origins, two of the three singles, “It’s Now or Never” and “Are You Lonesome Tonight,” were very quirky by the standards of Elvis songs at the time — the former inspired by Elvis’s admiration for Tony Martin’s 1949 hit “There’s No Tomorrow,” while the latter was recorded at the request of Col. Parker as a favor to his wife. They add to the diversity of sounds on this record, which shows a mature Elvis Presley. Continue reading “Elvis Presley – Elvis Is Back!

The second volume of Essential Elvis offers Elvis in binaural stereo from the January 1957 sessions that produced several hits. (RCA Victor generously filled the disc out with mono masters of the remaining songs to give the consumer a complete version of the sessions.) This is a lot of fun; the gaffes are numerous, obvious, and hilarious, and for ears raised on multi-track recording, it must be amazing to hear an entire record recorded live in the studio!

Benny’s guitarist Big John Taylor is featured on three raunchy instrumentals. – Originally recorded for the Tri-Dec, Ram and Antler labels, but the majority of the cuts remained unissued until the rockabilly revival of the 1970s. – Included here is a previously unissued professional demo session, which illustrates the strength of Benny Joy’s vocal and songwriting abilities.
