John Coltrane A Love Supreme UHQR 45 RPM 200 Gram Clarity Vinyl Analogue Prod
May 13, 2024 by admin
John Coltrane Quartet – A Love Supreme Analogue Productions’ UHQR, the pinnacle of high-quality vinyl! 45 RPM Ultra High Quality Record release. Limited to 10,000 copies. Mastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from a second-generation tape copy created by Rudy Van Gelder Pressed at Quality Record Pressings using Clarity Vinyl® Includes a 12″ x 12″ 12-page booklet featuring liner notes by Ashley Kahn and images from the Coltrane home. Audiophile reviews rave about saxophone master John Coltrane’s immortal Impulse! Records, A Love Supreme (1964) and Ballads (1963). In fact, jazz critics have lauded A Love Supreme as Coltrane’s most important recording. The rave reviews which appeared in the magazines Downbeat, Jazz Hot, Jazz Podium and Swingjournal reflected this: critics all over the world, in America, Europe and Japan recognized that Coltrane’s deep religious belief had influenced both his approach to life and his music-making. You’re about to experience A Love Supreme at its peak of vinyl perfection – in UHQR format on Clarity Vinyl, with the added bonus of a double 45 RPM cut by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound. Ryan’s cut has his characteristic clarity and transparency all set against Quality Record Pressing’s usual noiseless backgrounds on 200-gram flawless records. Each UHQR will be packaged in a deluxe box and will include a booklet detailing the entire process of making a UHQR along with a hand-signed certificate of inspection. This will be a truly deluxe, collectible product. For this 45 RPM 2LP edition you’ll also receive a 12″ x 12″ 12-page booklet featuring liner notes by Ashley Kahn and images from the Coltrane home. The original master tape is available but it’s not in the best shape. This LP was cut from a flat tape copy made by Rudy Van Gelder and used for cutting in the UK in April of 1965. Of course, the original recording was in December’64, so only a handful of months later. This tape was discovered at Abbey Road and had been untouched between 1965 and 2002. So while the original tape is available and while we would always opt for the original whenever we can, in this case this copy was the better choice as the tape has incurred less overall wear and sounds much better than the original. A Love Supreme was Coltrane’s pinnacle studio outing that at once compiled all of his innovations from his past, spoke of his current deep spirituality, and also gave a glimpse into the next two and a half years (sadly, those would be his last). Recorded at the end of 1964, Trane’s classic quartet of Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, and Jimmy Garrison stepped in and created one of the most thought-provoking albums of their relationship. The album not only enabled Coltrane to express himself with great intensity but also lent him the necessary inner peace to conceive a work of almost 40 minutes in length and to lead his quartet along the same path as himself. Artist / John Coltrane. Label / Analogue Productions.

Steely Dan Pretzel Logic UHQR 45 RPM 200 Gram Clarity Vinyl NEW
March 29, 2024 by admin
Definitive reissue Ultra High Quality Record, the pinnacle of high-quality vinyl! 45 RPM LP release limited to 15, 000 numbered copies Mastered directly from the original master tape by Bernie Grundman Pressed at Quality Record Pressings using 200-gram Clarity Vinyl® Purest possible pressing and most visually stunning presentation and packaging! 8 on the Billboard 200 and restored the group’s radio presence with the single’Rikki Don’t Lose That Number,’ which became the biggest pop hit of their career and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The 1974 album was produced by Gary Katz and was written primarily by Walter Becker (bass) and bandleader Donald Fagen (vocals, keyboards). The album marked the beginning of Becker and Fagen’s roles as Steely Dan’s principal members. They enlisted prominent Los Angeles-based studio musicians to record Pretzel Logic, but used them only for occasional overdubs, except for drums, where founding drummer Jim Hodder was reduced to a backing singer, replaced by Jim Gordon and Jeff Porcaro on the drum kit for all of the songs on the album. Steely Dan’s Jeff’Skunk’ Baxter played pedal steel guitar and hand drums. Artist / Steely Dan. Label / Analogue Productions. Genre / Pop / Rock.

Steely Dan Can’t Buy A Thrill UHQR 45 RPM 200 Gram Clarity Vinyl NEW Sealed
March 28, 2024 by admin
Definitive reissue Ultra High Quality Record, the pinnacle of high-quality vinyl! 45 RPM LP release limited to 20,000 numbered copies. Mastered directly from the original master tape by Bernie Grundman. Pressed at Quality Record Pressings using 200-gram. Purest possible pressing and most visually stunning presentation and packaging! Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jackets with film lamination by Stoughton Printing. Happily, for this, my first UHQR experience, it feels super-solid. Feels more three-dimensional on this UHQR edition than on other versions I’ve heard. Overall, the sound is super-clear and crisp, but ultimately presents the music more warmly than the standard 180g 1LP edition does. When you compare them side by side, you start noticing the differences between the UHQR and the standard edition – the sizzling cymbals aren’t quite as sizzly on the standard version, for one thing, and, comparatively, the vocals take on a bit of that raw edge around them. Plus, the congas feel less natural-sounding on the standard edition. Can’t wait to see, and hear, what comes next – but for now, the 200g 2LP. Serves as one of the best listening experiences you’ll have this year. Artist / Steely Dan. Label / Analogue Productions. Genre / Pop / Rock.

Steely Dan Aja UHQR 2-lp 45 RPM 200 Gram Clarity Vinyl Analogue Productions
March 9, 2024 by admin
Aja – Steely Dan’s landmark sixth studio album now on UHQR! Definitive reissue Ultra High Quality Record, the pinnacle of high-quality vinyl! 45 RPM LP release limited to 30,000 numbered copies Mastered by Bernie Grundman from an analog, non EQ’d tape copy Pressed at Quality Record Pressings using 200-gram Clarity Vinyl® Purest possible pressing and most visually stunning presentation and packaging! Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jackets with film lamination by Stoughton Printing. If you were an audiophile in the late 1970s, you owned. Which ranks 1977’s. 63 on its latest 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, says this was Walter Becker and Donald Fagen’s no-holds barred stab at becoming a huge mainstream jazz-pop success. Even won a Grammy for Best Engineeed Album. This landmark album in the band’s career features a sophisticated, polished sound that reflects the band’s meticulous attention to detail and the influence of jazz and fusion music. Fagan and Becker would assemble a revolving cast of almost 40 session musicians to play on the album, consisting of some of the all-time greats, including Joe Sample, Larry Carlton, Wayne Shorter, Steve Gadd, Lee Ritenour, Timothy B. Schmidt – it’s a long list. It’s a Who’s Who of session superstars. The album name and its title track were inspired by a South Korean woman whom a high school friend’s brother had married after serving in the army in her country. The chord progressions and melodies are so unique and so typically Steely Dan. The drum solo at the end of the title track by Steve Gadd is also astounding. The album’s title track, “Aja, ” opens with a serene piano introduction before building into a complex, multi-layered arrangement that features intricate drum patterns, subtle guitar lines, and a soaring saxophone solo. Other standout tracks include “Deacon Blues, ” a melancholy ballad with introspective lyrics, and “Peg, ” a catchy tune with a funky groove and infectious chorus. Throughout the album, Steely Dan’s lyrics explore themes of disillusionment, regret, and the quest for fulfillment. In “Black Cow, ” the opening track, the narrator laments the loss of a relationship, while in “Josie, ” the album’s closing track, the band celebrates the freedom and excitement of a new love affair. The album’s meticulous production values, including multiple layers of instrumentation and intricate vocal harmonies, showcase Steely Dan’s commitment to sonic perfection. Founded by core members Walter Becker (bass) and Donald Fagen (vocals, keyboards), Steely Dan’s popularity rose throughout the late 1970s on, and their seven albums throughout that period of time blended elements of jazz, rock, funk, R&B, and pop. Steely Dan created a sophisticated, distinctive sound with accessible melodic hooks, complex harmonies and time signatures, and a devotion to the recording studio. Becker and Fagen, with producer Gary Katz, gradually changed Steely Dan from a performing band to a studio project, hiring session musicians to record their compositions. The duo didn’t perform live between 1974 and 1993. But their popularity nevertheless grew throughout the’70s as their albums became critical favorites and their singles became staples of Adult Oriented Radio and pop radio stations. After a brief battle with esophageal cancer, Walter Becker died on September 3, 2017 at the age of 67. Ranked Steely Dan at No. 82 on their list of the 100 Greatest Musical Artists of All Time. 15 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time. This stereo UHQR reissue will be limited to 30,000 copies, with gold foil individually numbered jackets, housed in a premium slipcase with a wooden dowel spine. Represents a high-water mark in Steely Dan’s career, showcasing the band’s unique blend of jazz, rock, and pop influences in a polished, sophisticated package. The album has become a classic of the 1970s and remains a favorite among music lovers to this day. Artist / Steely Dan. Label / Analogue Productions. Genre / Pop / Rock.
