    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 Clarity Vinyl® Purest possible pressing and most visually stunning presentation and packaging! 13 on the U. The single’Black Friday’ also charted at No. Pitchfork noted:'(Katy Lied) captures Steely Dan in the thick of it all, still hungry and energized by their early burst of creativity but not taking anything for granted. Before Katy Lied, Steely Dan was a rock band, but this is the record where they became something else. 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. Katy Lied was notable for Becker and Fagen being intially unhappy with the album’s sound quality owing to an equipment malfunction with the then new dbx noise reduction system. Working with engineers at dbx, the sound was corrected and the album ultimately became successful, but Fagen and Becker still refused to listen to the completed version. Katy Lied also marks the first appearance of singer Michael McDonald on a Steely Dan album. Best known for his soulful voice as a member of the Doobie Brothers, McDonald is a five-time Grammy winner and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Doobie Brothers in 2020. The album cover features a picture of a katydid, a’singing’ (stridulating) insect related to crickets and grasshoppers. This is most likely a pun on the album’s title; the’singing’ of a katydid sounds as though they’re saying’Katy did, Katy didn’t. Lyrics in the song’Doctor Wu’ include’Katy tried, I was halfway crucified’ and’Katy lies, you can see it in her eyes. The premise of the theme of Katy’lying’ is based on a quote from Denny Dias when he came to the studio to play on’Your Gold Teeth II. Jeff Porcaro, then only 21 years old, played drums on all the songs except’Any World (That I’m Welcome To),’ which features legendary session drummer Hal Blaine. After a brief battle with esophageal cancer, Walter Becker died on September 3, 2017 at the age of 67. VH1 ranked Steely Dan at No. 82 on their list of the 100 Greatest Musical Artists of All Time. Rolling Stone ranked them No. 15 on it’s list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time. This stereo UHQR reissue will be limited to 20, 000 copies, with gold foil individually numbered jackets, housed in a premium slipcase with a wooden dowel spine.

    Queen Complete Studio Recordings-17LP Box Set-180 gram Vinyl
    Limited edition vinyl box set containing all 15 hit studio albums by the British band pressed on 180 gram heavyweight colored vinyl. The masters were sourced from the original tapes; half-speed lacquers cut at abbey Road Studios. Queen formed in 1970 and consisted of Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals). Queen’s earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works by incorporating further styles, such as arena rock and pop rock, into their music. They eventually became one of the most famous rock bands in the world and still command much respect long after Mercury’s 1991 death.

    John Coltrane A Love Supreme UHQR 45 RPM 200 Gram Clarity Vinyl Analogue Prod
    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.

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.

    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.
