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).

Black Vinyl.<br/><br/>Even after hundreds of shows, 15 million records sold, two GRAMMY® Award nominations, Dream Theater continue to look ahead. Their collective gaze never wavers from the future. Instead, the progressive metal trailblazers - James LaBrie (Vocals), John Petrucci (Guitars), Jordan Rudess (Keyboards), John Myung (Bass), and Mike Mangini (Drums) - consistently explore uncharted territory with the same spirit of sonic adventurousness. On their fifteenth album, A View from the Top of the World, the New York quintet rush forward at full speed again with seven tracks equally steeped in articulate arrangements, groove-laden guitars, and skyscraping melodies.<br/><br/>Available as Limited Deluxe Boxset incl. 2LP (in exclusive gatefold sleeve), Limited 2CD/Blu-ray Artbook, Zoetrope Slipmat, Beanie, Enamel Keychain, Poster, Artcards & Certificate of Authenticity in lift-off lid box. Limited 2CD/Blu-ray Artbook includes 5.1 surround sound mix of entire album with visuals, 'Digging For A Spark - A View From Inside DTHQ' Documentary, extended artwork & liner notes.

Livealbumet "Psychopatico" spelades in 1998 på D-A-D´s "Mad Days"-turné på bl.a. Roskilde Festival, Midtfyn och Skanderborg och sänds i november samma år. Året därpå fick de en Grammis för "Årets danska rocksläpp" och Gaffapriset för Årets danska album för Psychopatico". Nu släpps "Psychopatico" för första gången på vinyl, och till och med dubbelvinyl - i remastrad form. Förutom liveinspelningarna innehåller albumet, liksom originalversionen, studiospåret "Jacketless In December", som spelades in samma år.
