Swift Taylor: Red (Taylor's version) [Gatefold / 4 Vinyl LP]

Who are these guys? That's the usual reaction of anyone fortunate enough to have come across this remarkable (and remarkably rare) session from 1963. The last of six albums saxophonist Curtis Amy recorded for Pacific Jazz in the early-1960s, Katanga! transcends not only the rest but plenty of other recorded jazz from that period as well. <br/><br/>Trumpeter Dupree Bolton's brilliant playing here is simply breath-taking in one of his very few recorded appearances during a career plagued with personal problems. Bolton and Amy are joined by guitarist Ray Crawford, pianist Jack Wilson, bassist Victor Gaskin, and drummer Doug Sides on this gem of an album.<br/><br/>Katanga!, a rare gem from the Pacific Jazz catalog will also be released for the first-time digitally. The Tone Poet Vinyl Edition of Katanga! Is not a gatefold but will include a new essay by Thomas Conrad that elucidates the story behind the album.<br/><br/>Blue Note Records' Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series is produced by Joe Harley and features all-analog, mastered-from-the-original-master-tapes, 180g audiophile vinyl reissues in deluxe packaging. Mastering is by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) and vinyl is manufactured at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI).

Bloodhound Gang: Show us your hits (Blue) [Gatefold / 2 Vinyl LP]

Moby har alltid varit en mångfacetterad artist, en pionjär inom den elektroniska dansmusiken, en aktivist, en producent och inte minst en låtskrivare. Detta är dock en helt ny utmaning - på detta album får Moby tillfället att göra om sina låtar med en symfoniorkester. Vissa av låtarna har helt arrats om och framförs med orkester, medan andra har skalats ner i akustiska versioner.<br/>Tillsammans med Budapest Art Orchestra släpper Moby nu denna platta på en av de mest anrika ettiketterna för klassisk musik: Deutsche Grammophon.
