HOW SMART ARE YOU?
Get your Ph.D. for $3,000.
Introducing the battery-powered
Sutherland Ph.D. Phono Preamp.
“I don’t know why anyone would spend more than $3,000
on a phono stage now that the Ph.D. is available.”
John Blando, President of Electronic Marketing Associates
Hear the music,not the noise.
AC power lines create noise. Period. There’s only one
feasible way around that annoyance. Batteries.
BINGO! Designer Ron Sutherland brings us a new
battery-powered phono stage with smart circuitry that
allows this preamp to turn on and off automatically,
thereby maximizing the life of your batteries.
One of the noisiest components in your home stereo is
the incoming AC power. Even if it were delivered to your
home as idealized 60 Hz sine wave, it would not stay that
way long. The audio power amplifier does not draw
current from the power line evenly. There is a large
current spike drawn when the sine wave reaches its
voltage extremes, while
at other times current
draw is essentially
zero. High frequency
harmonics and
noise are introduced
into the same power line that’s used for sensitive
phono preamplification.
The Ph.D. doesn’t even have a power cord. Instead,
16 alkaline D cell batteries line the sides of the chassis.
After about 800 hours of
playing time (roughly half
the life of a cartridge), a
red light will indicate
that your batteries are
running low.
Replacements cost about
a buck a piece.
The Ph.D. turns on
the moment your stylus is stimulated. From there, the
unit automatically looks for a signal every half-hour for
just a fraction of a second. If it doesn’t find a signal, it will
stay on for an additional half-hour with a yellow light
indicating that it is preparing to turn off.
What’s more, the Ph.D. has four different loading options
and gain-stage settings that are simple to adjust.
There’s never
been anything
quite like
the Ph.D.
Sound Smart.
Ph.D. Dimensions: 17´´wide x 4´´ high x 14´´ deep

we’ve got you covered on this very exciting story featuring one of the most popular pop and
audiophile records of all time. See pages 18-19.
By now many of you know of the tremendous acclaim lauded on Analogue Productions’
Fantasy 45 Series. Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman remastered the Top 25 titles cherry-picked from
some of the most classic jazz labels of all time. We’ve cut these records at 45 RPM and limited
them to 1,000 pressings of each title to be released at two per month. Just a few months into this project, we’ve sold out of the
Bill Evans/Waltz For Debby 45 and are almost out of the Miles Davis/Relaxin.’ Read more about these classics and what the
reviewers and customers are saying on pages 30-31.

And continuing on for those of you hip to the sonic superiority of vinyl and to the further audio advancement of 45RPM LPs, we’re releasing hit singles from the Stax Records catalog, all remastered and cut at 45. First up are The
Staple Singers smash hits "Respect Yourself" backed with "I’ll Take You There." Then we’ve got the three best
songs from the classic movie Shaft sung by Isaac Hayes. Side One is "Theme From Shaft" and "Soulsville" with
the 20-minute "Do Your Thing" filling Side Two. And for blues lovers, we’re remastering the monumental Albert
King with Stevie Ray Vaughan/In Session in its entirety for two 45-RPM discs. Read all about it on pages 2-3.

"An exceptional quartet date from '79, with
Pepper having just established what became a
regular working relationship with pianist George
Cables, who plays with passion and conviction. He
hadn't yet hired a bassist and drummer, so for the
occasion Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins were
used. Pepper was certainly inspired by what they
contributed; his alto sax solos are intense and often
jubilant." — Ron Wynn.
Remixed by Rik Pekkonen and John Koenig;
remastering supervised by John Koenig and Chad
Kassem. Galaxy 5154.

Art Pepper — So In Love
Of the new releases issued under Art Pepper's
name in 1980, So In Love was overall the finest.
The altoist stretches out here on a program of
standards and blues, backed by alternating rhythm
sections from the East and West coasts.
Pianist Hank Jones is all one could ask for in an
accompanist, and his aching solo on Diane sustains
perfectly the restive mood of Pepper's opening
choruses. This West Coast team of pianist George
Cables, whose great rapport with Pepper is
unmatched, along with jazz legends Charlie Haden
and Billy Higgins powers the music along with
great care and economy. Pepper had climbed to such a plateau of individuality that he
seems often here to be drawing his unconscious influences into the light and remembering
what it was he loved about them in the first place.
On a leisurely “Stardust,” he daffodils his sentiments with the grace and cunning of
a Lester Young. The title track, a Cole Porter waltz that agitates into a collective
improvisation by its climax, offers the best illustration of the wondrous use Pepper makes
of John Coltrane. It isn't in this case a matter of piling up chords or of playing more notes,
as it is with so many others, but rather of drawing on extreme registers of the horn to
express more conflicting emotions, to reach deeper and higher recesses of the viscera and
the psyche. Remixed by Rik Pekkonen and John Koenig; remastering supervised by John
Koenig and Chad Kassem. Original Artist House 9412.
Art Pepper — The Intimate Art Pepper
In 1979 Art Pepper was recorded at two
sessions that up until now have yielded two fine
albums, So In Love and The New York Album.
There was more first-rate material recorded in
those two sessions than would fit on two LPs so
difficult choices had to be made as to what
material not to include on the albums released at
the time. Those choices were not necessarily made
on the basis of the quality of the performances but
with respect to such considerations as length and
congruence of repertoire within an album.
These rare recordings which feature primarily
material recorded in connection with the So In Love session but which also include a
beautiful rendition of Jerome Kern's Yesterdays (with Hank Jones, Ron Carter and Al
Foster) showcase Art in solo and trio treatments of jazz standards.
There are also quartet performances with George Cables Charlie Haden and Billy
Higgins of material from Pepper's repertoire. The original recordings were painstakingly
mixed by Rik Pekkonen and John Koenig.
LPs at 45 RPM
Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughan
In Session
In Session, recorded in 1983, is the only known recording of Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan
performing together. Its long-overdue commercial release (the album didn’t come out until 1999) stands as
a fitting tribute to the genius of two of the greatest musicians ever to have played the blues on electric
guitar. Now, it’s available on vinyl for the first time.
Anyone who’s witnessed a much anticipated jam session only to be disappointed — with each
participant deferring to the other, the end result being that neither ever got out of first gear — will welcome
this pairing of two giants of blues guitar. Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan obviously shared a mutual
admiration, but it simply wasn’t in either one’s makeup to: a) be intimidated or b) take a backseat to
anyone. Not without kicking up a little dust.
This is such a prescious set to any fan of either of these blues giants. In addition to the free-spirited jams,
there are priceless episodes of conversation between each song, both men exchanging accolades and King
giving the much younger Vaughan (though tragically it was Vaughan who died first) some sage advice. This
simply is a must-have.
LP = AAPB 7501-45 $50.00 (two 45-RPM LPs)
Isaac Hayes
"Theme From Shaft" (Side 1)
The undisputed anthem for what would be called Blaxploitation, "Theme from Shaft" is as popular and
well-known as the movie it supported. The song opens with the ever-recognizable wah-wah, funked-up
guitar chords, and we're quickly treated to Isaac Hayes' soul-drenched lyrics convincing ANYONE that this
guy Shaft is one "bad mother…shut your mouth." The song oozes with the cool confidence that made the
character Shaft one of the relative first Black film heroes.
"Theme From Shaft" earned Hayes his only Number One pop single in late 1971, winning an Oscar for
Best Song, and helping him become the first Black composer to win an Oscar for Best Score.
"Soulsville" (Side 1)
Another one of Isaac Hayes' biggest hits, "Soulsville" provides the contrast of a down-tempo ballad
outlining the plight of life in the ghetto. It's an emotional tale of poverty, drugs, desperation and faith.
"Do Your Thing" (Side 2)
Pure funk. This nearly 20-minute jam demonstrates just how potent the Stax houseband, The Bar-Kays,
could be. They establish a groove in which you can comfortably lose yourself. After "Theme From Shaft,"
this was the most popular hit from the Shaft movie soundtrack. It climbed to Number Three on the
Billboard chart, a remarkable feat for such a long, mostly-instrumental song.
LP = AAPP 88002-45 $20.00
The Staple Singers
"Respect Yourself" (Side 1)
The Staple Singers' 1972 hit that rose to Number Two on the Billboard charts and, along with "I'll Take
You There," affirmed this Chicago group as stars of the soul and pop worlds. The song begins with a bluestinged electric piano introduction and then builds to a crescendo full of inspiration. Pops Staples begins the
lyrics with, "If you disrespect anyone that you’re running to/How in the world do you think anybody’s
supposed to respect you/If you don’t give a heck about the man with a Bible in his hand/Just get out the
way and let the gentleman do his thing." Pops’ daughter Mavis, an absolute vocal giant, then takes over the
vocals with, "If you’re walking 'round thinking that the world owes you something ‘cause you’re
here/You’re going out the world backwards like you did when you first come here/You curse around
women but you don’t even know their name/Then you’re dumb enough to think it’ll make you a big
ol’ man."
"I'll Take You There" (Side 2)
A beautiful and now instantly-recognizable call-and-response chorus that scored a smash Number One
hit on the Billboard charts of 1972. The backing instrumentation is simple with almost no changes. Atop
that rock-solid foundation, we're taken "there" with, "I know a place/Ain’t nobody crying/Ain’t nobody
worried/Ain’t no smiling faces/Lying to the races/Help me (backing vocals: I’ll take you there)."

A longtime sideman of Zydeco King Clifton Chenier and later C.J. Chenier,
Harry "Big Daddy" Hypolite steps into the spotlight for the first time with
Louisiana Country Boy, his solo debut. If you share the tastes of APO Records
CEO Chad Kassem, you’ll wonder, after hearing this recording, how this soulful voice and natural charisma have gone relatively unnoticed for so long.
Deep down in rural Louisiana, Hypolite, a self-confessed poor boy, has been
honing his blues since he could talk — first in Creole French and then in
English (both languages are represented on this release). The results are heartfelt confessions of real-life hard times.
These are deep, unpolished, gravely blues. In short, this is the real stuff —
the blues of undiluted emotion.
Louisiana Country Boy is also full of zydeco — a genre Hypolite said is not
always played the way masters like Clifton Chenier intended it to be.
"Zydeco is simple music," Hypolite said. "Guys who try to play jazz and put
big chords in zydeco make it hard on themselves. You just need to know how
to phrase it right, and it has to have a feeling and a meaning to it."
Feeling and meaning — those are attributes "Big Daddy" is never short of.
Even in the simplest conversations, Hypolite wears his heart on his sleeve. If
he doesn’t win you over with his smile, he’ll floor you with his laugh.
Hypolite has bottled pure emotion by writing and singing autobiographical
songs that reach all the way back to his childhood. He’s been waiting for this
moment for so long, played it over in his head so many times, that almost
every song on this recording was done in one take, with no lyric sheets.
At a time when many authentic blues artists are in the twilight of their
careers, it’s the dawn of Harry Hypolite’s time in the sun.

NEW! from APO Records
Little Hatch — Rock With Me Baby
Rock With Me Baby is the comforting addition to this awesome,
down-home blues artist’s sparsely-documented career. A fire that
cannot be faked or accurately imitated fuels each note and puts this
title in perfect fit with APO Records’ mission of finding “the real
blues.” Recently deceased at 81 years old, Hatch is a little-known
legend; little-known, that is, outside of Kansas City, where his
birthday was long ago declared “Little Hatch Day” and where harp
up-and-comers actively pay homage to the master.
Little Hatch, born Provine Hatch, Jr. in 1922 in Sledge,
Mississippi, began blowing the harp obsessively at 8 years old and
came under the direct spell of Sonny Boy Williamson II and
Howlin’ Wolf when his family moved to Helena, Arkansas in
1935. Sonny Boy became Hatch’s hero, and from there, another
sure-fire bluesman was born. Rock With Me Baby oozes with blues
purity and recalls the gritty roots of a time before blues needed
polish to shine. If Hatch’s harp is technically imperfect, his soulful
voice is unmatched. Fans of the real thing will drool, and rockers
may at least understand blues heritage through this release.
Jimmy D. Lane and Ron Edwards accompany Hatch on guitars.
The trio lays down 13 tracks of exquisite traditional blues that’s a
treat to both ears and soul. Lane is of course son of blues legend
Jimmy Rogers, and he’s a fast-rising star in his own right with two
great releases on the APO label and a third soon to come. Edwards
has been playing sweet-sounding slide guitar for more than 30
years, having been tutored by such slide luminaries as Houston
Stackhouse and J.B. Hutto. His regular gig for 15 years now has
been as accompanist to St. Louis bluesman and APO recording
artist Henry Townsend.
Rock With Me Baby, Hatch’s second APO release, is surely his best album to date. Let’s hope it pulls a
deserving bluesman from relative anonymity.

Myra Taylor — My Night To Dream
At an age, 86, where she is virtually without musical peer, who could imagine a jazz singer sounding as vibrant,
aggressive and progressive as she did in her hit-filled 20s? That’s Myra Taylor. Prepare to be amazed.
With My Night To Dream, Taylor brings to the contemporary jazz scene a vivid glimpse of the past. This is the
same Myra Taylor that scored chart-busters for Mercury Records in the 1940s. Some of those hits — most notably
“Spider And The Fly,” “Take It Easy Greasy” and “Still Blue Water” — are redone here. And to some that are
familiar with Myra’s career, these takes sound better than the originals. Perhaps this shouldn’t be so amazing, but to
those who have heard this release so far, it has been.
Returning to the studio after a hiatus of over 50 years, Taylor has reclaimed her music. She also was inspired to
write again. The result was “Hey There,” a coy invitation penned especially for the session. Taylor rounded out the
record with a choice selection of jazz and blues standards, including her signature songs, “This Is My Night To
Dream” and “I Don’t Want To Set The World On Fire.”
Taylor’s rich tone and resonant delivery are perfectly complimented by the crack band drawn from Kansas City’s
top players and jazz legends. My Night To Dream was recorded in Salina, Kansas at Blue Heaven Studios, the home
of APO Records and just a few hours drive west of Taylor’s Kansas City home. As has become the Blue Heaven
norm, this recording reflects perfectly why this studio in a converted church has won national acclaim for its
astounding acoustics. The natural ambiance only enhances the charisma that is so much a part of a Myra Taylor
performance. With a new recording and legions of fans and friends, Taylor is not content to rest on her hard-won
laurels. She is busily looking to the future and performing regularly, writing new songs and preparing for her next
recording session.
Recently, Taylor bought a new set of luggage and renewed her passport. Smiling broadly, she said, “you’ll never
get to Paris unless you go to France.”

Daniel Lanois — Shine
Daniel Lanois is one of Rock’s great renaissance men.
He has produced U2’s biggest albums, including The
Joshua Tree and their latest, All That You Can Leave
Behind. He also produced Bob Dylan’s album of the year,
the Grammy winning Time Out Of Mind, Peter Gabriels’
biggest album, So, as well as landmark albums by Willie
Nelson, Emmylou Harris, The Neville Brothers and many
others. Lanois has a unique guitar style that is both soulful
and rootsy, yet modern. His signature guitar has graced
most of his productions. Lanois has also released a pair of
critically-acclaimed solo albums, including 1989’s Acadie
and 1993’s For The Beauty Of Wynona. Shine is his longawaited followup, and it is definitely worth the wait. All of
the texture and ambience that he has created for other
artists is here in full force, but front and center this time are
his own beautiful songs and lyrical voice.

Santana — Shaman
Like his last release, the ultra-popular Supernatural, this
album features guest musicians and songwriters with
Santana’s soaring guitar work
anchoring each track. Guests
include Macy Gray, Wyclef Jean,
POD, Dido, Seal and Placido
Domingo. Always evolving,
breaking new ground, exploring
musical secrets and influences
from every corner of the globe,
Carlos Santana is a true treasure.
With every new album, he continues to surprise and inspire
the next generation of musicians who learn from his artistry
and his willingness to share ideas. Far from being a tribute
album, Shaman is a wondrous musical journey and, in Carlos
Santana’s words, “a beautiful example
of synchronicity.”

NEW! Led Zeppelin DVDs, CDs & LPs
L
ong sought-after by Zeppelin devotees and
collectors, this marks the first-ever official
release of these rare and legendary performances,
which span the group’s entire career. Muchrumored and eagerly anticipated, the DVD and
CD sets each contain entirely different material,
so there is no overlap between the two releases.
As a gesture to the band’s millions of fans, both
sets are specially priced.

Atlantic Records DVD & CDs
Led Zeppelin DVD
Clocking in at nearly five-and-a-half hours, Led
Zeppelin DVD has been culled from just a handful of
performances which were filmed during the band’s
extraordinary lifetime. As guitarist Jimmy Page explains,
“We were never really part of the pop scene. It was never
what Led Zeppelin was about. Our thing was playing live.
In that sense, Zeppelin was very much an underground
band. The fact that it became as successful as it did was
something that was almost out of our control. We actually shunned
commercialism, which is why so little official footage of the band has ever been
seen before.” Visually and sonically stunning, Led Zeppelin DVD has been
painstakingly restored, remixed and remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround,
DTS and PCM Two-Channel Stereo under the personal supervision of Jimmy
Page and director Dick Carruthers.
DVD = CATL 70198 (two DVDs) $24.99
Led Zeppelin — How The West Was Won
Recorded in California, How The West Was Won
is a brilliant audio complement to the DVD. The
material on the three CDs has been culled from two
of the most legendary and incendiary live
performances by Led Zeppelin, at the Los Angeles
Forum and Long Beach Arena on June 25th and
27th, 1972. Melded together and sequenced to
replicate a single concert from the beginning to the
end, it captures the band at the height of their formidable powers. Among the
highlights are a 25-plus minute version of “Dazed and Confused” and a 23minute medley based around “Whole Lotta Love.” These shows find the band
introducing songs from their forthcoming Houses Of The Holy album, which
would not be released for another nine months.

Led Zeppelin — Physical Graffiti
After a slew of albums that had built Led Zeppelin into
the biggest rock band in the world, there was a frenzied
anticipation for 1975’s Physical Graffiti. Masters Page,
Jones, Bonham and Plant did not disappoint. This two-disc
LP set is a sprawling and adventurous effort, again
propelling the band farther from its four-beat blues and roots
to a progressing rock unit. Dabbling in middle-eastern
rhythms, folk styling and their signature heavy blues rock
riffs, the result pushes Graffiti to the upper echelon of the double albums that were
prevalent (and usually indulgent) of all major rock acts in the 70s.
Mastered under the direct supervision and approval of Jimmy Page.
The packaging also features the unique, original die-cut LP jacket.
LP = AATC 2200Q $44.99 (two LPs)
Led Zeppelin IV
Zeppelin wasted no time recording their fourth album,
doing so between touring dates in support of Led Zeppelin
III. With tracks laid down at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles
and the short-lived Island Studios in London, as well as
various English countryside locations, Led Zeppelin IV was
destined to be the band’s greatest triumph yet. Song for
song, it is virtually a compilation of their greatest hits.
Possibly the biggest surprise yielded by the album was the
overwhelming reaction to “Stairway To Heaven,” a radio perennial and
one of the greatest rock songs of all time.
LP = AATC 7208Q $29.99
Led Zeppelin — Houses Of The Holy
After the album Led Zeppelin IV surprisingly became one
of the most lauded and biggest-selling albums in rock
history, the group faced a challenge head-on and created a
compelling follow up. Released in May of 1973, Houses of
the Holy is perhaps their most accessible, commercial yet
ambitious title. Maturing from the blues quartet that had
catapulted them onto the scene, producer/guitarist Jimmy
Page really started expanding his studio skills and vision
after Led Zep II. Here, on their fifth album, each member takes a turn shining. They
complimented each other perfectly and could still rock with the best of them: even
their acoustic songs could rock! Each song is an adventure: folk, middle-Eastern,
blues, there’s even a hint of R&B/soul here and there. All in all, this is an
exceptional collection.
LP = AATC 7255Q $29.99
Led Zeppelin — Presence
It's taken a while, but this 1976 release has earned its
place with the other great titles from the biggest rock band of
that decade. Languishing for years in the intimidating
strength of its predecessor (Physical Graffiti) Presence was
quickly recorded and issued, mainly while vocalist Robert
Plant sported a cast on his leg from a car accident. It's heavy
on the rock side featuring high octane guitar from Jimmy
Page and no acoustic guitars or keyboards to be found. John
Bonham's thunderous bashing and layers of guitar are highlighted in “Achilles Last
Stand” while “Nobody's Fault But Mine,” a reworking of a blues tune by Blind Willie
Johnson, gets goosed in the rear Zep-style by Page & Co. Other highlights include
“For Your Life,” “Royal Orleans,” “Candy Store Rock,” “Hots On For
Nowhere” and “Tea Is For One.”

Creedence Clearwater
Revival original master tapes.
“Chad, I simply can’t BELIEVE how good ‘I Heard It Through the Grapevine’
sounds!!! It is impossible to sit still through it. Hell, it’s impossible to sit,
period. I am SO impressed. All the others are great too (especially ‘I Put A
Spell On You’), but ‘...Grapevine’ just blows my mind. (And I had NEVER
heard those congas before...!)
Thank you sincerely for sharing this with me.”
– Art Dudley, editor of Listener Magazine
“I’ve just listened to the first two CCR test pressings mastered by Kevin Gray
and Steve Hoffman at AcousTech Mastering (at RTI) and let me tell you: when
the bass kicked in on ‘I Put a Spell on You’ I thought I was playing a 45 at 33
1/3 it was so deep and THICK but it was 33 1/3 and when the guitars kicked in,
it was WOWIE!!!!! The transparency, transient SNAP and overall clarity
without brightness or edge is phenomenal! This is as close to listening to a
master tape as I’ve heard from vinyl – not hyperbole. Based on this, I think
Kevin has put together the best-sounding lathe/cutting set-up I’ve heard yet –
better than what they were using at Future Disc for the DCC cuts and without
the hum — and those were gooood of course… the top end is just right –
dynamics, depth, detail, the whole ball of waxxxxxxx. I was cautiously optimistic
having heard how great the Ella/Gershwin box cut there came out, but I was not
prepared for THIS.....congrats to all.”

"with a powerful, expressive manner of playing,
reminiscent of his old friend, Eugene Ysaye."
“Brilliantly played and refreshingly imaginative.”
— Allan Kozinn, The New York Times
“Mr. Rosand’s style was impeccable —
aristocratic, elegant in line, supple in phrase. But, then
again, he is one of the great living exponents of
Romantic violin music.” — Harold Schonberg, The New York Times

The Thorns — The Thorns
It was good timing that brought the three of them
together in the spring of 2002; good timing and a
shared desire to stretch out after being turned inward
for so long. Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge had just
finished typically intensive solo album projects, while
Shawn Mullins had recorded a sizable batch of
demos for his next album. Because they played a
variety of instruments and knew how to operate the
recording hardware, all three were in the habit of
doing most of the work themselves. Each of them,
then, was up for a break from introspection and a taste
of interaction when the idea for the experiment came
to them through the artist grapevine. Tracking live in the studio, the three band members
played the bulk of the instruments, with the legendary Jim Keltner on drums. When listening
to The Thorns, you can’t miss how precisely organized the harmonies are.

Kenny Dorham — Afro-Cuban
This is a particularly strong set from trumpeter Kenny Dorham, for it has the debut
versions of “Lotus Flower,” “Minor Holiday” and “La Villa,” three of his most rewarding
compositions. The first half of the set is Afro-Cuban in nature due to the inclusion of Carlos
“Potato” Valdes’ conga; also on the album are trombonist J.J. Johnson, Hank Mobley on
tenor, baritonist Cecil Payne, pianist Horace Silver, bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Art
Blakey. Dorham has an all-star group of young hard boppers eager to play his challenging

Norah Jones —
Come Away With Me
RECOMMENDED
Winner of eight 2003 Grammys,
Come Away With Me is THE talk of
the music world right now. What
timing to have it available on SACD.
Unless you’ve been hiding in a cave
avoiding International prosecution,
there’s no way you haven’t heard the
signature cut of this record, “Don’t
Know Why.” Now hear it on hybrid
SACD. Norah Jones’ debut on Blue
Note is a mellow, acoustic pop affair
with soul and country overtones,
immaculately produced by the great
Arif Mardin. Jones is not quite a jazz
singer, but she is joined by some
highly regarded jazz talent: guitarists
Adam Levy, Adam Rogers, Tony
Scherr, Bill Frisell and Kevin Breit; drummers Brian Blade, Dan Rieser, and Kenny
Wolleson; organist Sam Yahel; accordionist Rob Burger; and violinist Jenny
Scheinman. Her regular guitarist and bassist, Jesse Harris and Lee Alexander,
respectively, play on every track and also serve as the chief songwriters. Both have a
gift for melody, simple yet elegant progressions and evocative lyrics.

Miles Davis — Vol 1. Young Man With A Horn (comparison package)
This is Miles Davis’ first Blue Note recording released in 1952 as a 10” LP with the title
apparently borrowed from a 1950 movie of the same name starring Kirk Douglas. The line up on
the six song LP features Jay Jay Johnson, Jackie McLean, Gil Coggins, Oscar Pettiford and Kenny
Clark backing up the Young Man with a Horn. This record swings, and the playing is obviously
from a more romantic Miles trying to find his way. The authentic “deep groove” non-groove-guard
pressing in an authentic tip-on jacket will fool even the best collectors. Cut on the newly restored
Classic Mono Cutting System at Bernie Grundman Mastering.

Miles Davis — Vol. 3 (comparison package)
Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio on March 6, 1954, this was the emerging

Classic Records is proud to once again make this collectable available in this original format.
With the assistance of EMI/Blue Note, Classic has been given access to recently-discovered
original source materials on the Blue Note sessions and along with the upgraded sound, has
painstakingly worked to deliver a high-quality 10” pressing and also faithfully reproduce the
original 10” jacket. Original 1954 first-pressings in mint condition have been known to bring
a minimum of $300 on the collector’s market. The set features the leader Miles with some of
his finest playing. His support includes Horace Silver on piano, Percy Heath on bass and Art
Blakey behind the drums. The selections include “Take Off, Lazy Susan,” “The Leap,” “Well
You Needn’t,” “Weirdo” and “It Never Entered My Mind.”

Bob Belden — Black Dahlia
As a musician, composer, arranger and producer, Bob Belden has long been known for
putting his individual stamp on conceptually adventurous projects. For his new Blue Note
release, a programmatic 12-part suite based on the famous “Black Dahlia” murder and his
first album of original compositions in over a decade, Belden has focused his interpretive
skills on a story of incredible depth and intrigue. The instrumentation here ranges from solo
piano to big band to 60+ piece symphony orchestra and features the distinct solo voices of

and saxophonists Belden, Joe Lovano and Lawrence Feldman.

Bill Charlap — Stardust
There’s a fitting symmetry implicit in Bill Charlap’s latest Blue Note release. It’s a
symmetry born from purity of purpose, illuminated on one end by the timelessness of Hoagy
Carmichael’s Americana, and asserted at the other by the clarity of Charlap’s touch. Charlap
negotiates the music of Carmichael as if he’s lived it always — an impressive sleight-of-hand
considering the disparate backgrounds from which these jazzmen come: One was inspired by
lazy Indiana summers; the other by the fast-break rhythms of New York. What gives the
album that extra touch is the special lineup of guest stars like Tony Bennett, Shirley
Horn and Jim Hall.

Gerardo Rosales — La Salsa es mi Vida
The term Latin Jazz has usually referred to a blend
of bop and Afro-Cuban salsa, but the rhythms of Cuba
(mambo and cha-cha, among many others) aren’t the
only Latin rhythms that jazz artists have embraced.
Over the years, jazz has been combined with
everything from Spanish flamenco, Brazilian samba
and Columbian cumbia to Puerto Rican plena,
Dominican merengue and Argentinean tango. On
Salsa es mi Vida, the rhythms of Gerardo Rosales’
native Venezuela are a major source of inspiration for
the jazz percussionist. But Rosales is eclectic, and this

Thanks to its unusually fine work and beautiful

Rameau: Piéces de Clavecin en Concerts/Rachel Podger,

One of the most striking features of Rameau’s only collection of ensemble chamber music
is that it seems less a tantalizing essay in what French chamber music might have yielded —
had Rameau not sought the bright lights of opera — than a singularly inspired genre of
musical images whose significance resides almost exclusively in its own inimitable terms.
The magical elusiveness of these works, so deliberately enigmatic, encourages us to ponder
the significance of titles such as “Le Vézinet” (as it happens, a forested suburb of Paris with a
pleasure garden). We may hear a glistening carousel but Rameau’s aqueous
imagery reflects unending shards of light to ravish our senses.

great collection — his Tafelmusik. Each work bears
the stamp of a composer whose use of instruments is
both tonally imaginative and technically informed —
the secret of Telemann’s success. Combine this with
the special sound of Florilegium — one of Britain’s
leading period instrument ensembles, renowned for its
imaginative variety of instrumental color, nuance and
phrasing and its eagerness to experiment — and a tasteful musical
dinner can be enjoyed.

While Vivaldi was imitated and paraphrased for several decades in the 18th Century, his

is why his singular voice speaks to us now with such genuine directness and individuality.
The concertos of La Stravanganza, remarkable for their range of coloration, constitute
Vivaldi’s evolving style of extravagance and ecstasy. Immersing herself in the 12 Concertos
of La Stravanganza was an intense and exhilarating experience for violinist Rachel Podger,
and one which has left her full of wonder at Vivaldi’s seemingly endless capacity
for invention.

Full of confidence after a Best Of

Broonzy songs. It goes almost

well, a cobblestone runway. Now his 15-year marriage has also fallen apart — but at least
Sexsmith has been able to reach deep into his well of despond for his best album yet. Gone
are the pub-rock stylings of 2001’s Steve Earle-produced “Blue Boy;” instead, producer
Martin Terefe wraps Sexsmith’s acoustic/electric purity in swathes of electronic sounds. This
new sonic palate gives modern life to his classy tales of blown chances, cruel luck and crueler
love.” — Dave Simpson, The Guardian

One unique finding that came from this session
was that with my large subwoofer at AcousTech we
heard some subsonic information that nobody had
been aware of before. And also when I heard that
opening heartbeat on "Speak To Me" with the gain
turned up, it just sent shivers down my spine.

PINK FLOYD, THE BAND NAME comes from
the first names of bluesmen Pink Anderson
and Floyd Council, both of whom guitarist
Syd Barrett is said to have admired. Barrett
used those names to come up with The Pink
Floyd Sound, the band's original name.
Both Pink Anderson, a South Carolina native,
and Floyd Council, a North Carolina native,
died in the 1970s. Each put out a moderate
amount of now-hard-to-find recordings.
Anderson is best known for his longtime stint
as a performer in travelling medicine shows of
the early-to-mid 1900s. His work can most
easily be found on three Bluesville albums he
recorded in 1961. Council's recordings are
much tougher to find. Like Anderson, Council
is reputed to have been an excellent guitarist
and singer, and he also recorded with Blind
Boy Fuller and with Sonny Terry. There is no
evidence that Anderson and Council ever performed or recorded together.

BY ALL INDUSTRY STANDARDS, The Dark Side Of The
Moon is a phenomenon. Known for its complex
instrumental textures, the album firmly established
Pink Floyd as one of the most innovative bands in rock
history. Since its release in 1973, The Dark Side Of The
Moon has sold over 40 million albums and spent an
incredible 741 weeks on Billboard’s Album Chart.
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of this classic,
Capitol Records reissued Dark Side on vinyl and SACD.
This SACD is much more than an ordinary CD — it’s
actually a Super Audio
CD (SACD) that features
two disc layers. One
layer contains a standard
version of the album
that works on any CD
player. The other layer
includes high-resolution
stereo and a 5.1 surround
version of the recording that works on SACD-compatible players and home theater systems. Both
layers employ SACD’s Direct Stream Digital (DSD)
encoding process that samples the music 64 times faster
than CD for unprecedented fidelity.
To create this first surround mix of The Dark Side Of
The Moon, longtime Pink Floyd producer/engineer
James Guthrie utilized the 16-track master tapes from
the original recording sessions. The new 5.1 surround
mix was then remastered on custom-built electronics
before the final transfer to SACD. The results are stunning, retaining the warmth and “air” of the original
analog tapes while faithfully capturing the full dynamic range of Pink Floyd’s intricately-layered music.
The Vinyl (in its original packaging) includes an extra
30th anniversary poster by Storm Thorgerson. ▲
ONE OF THE LARGEST LABELS
could have gone anywhere to
remaster one of the world's most
important records…They went
to AcousTech Mastering.
EMI hired Doug Sax to handle
perhaps the most historic
master tapes in pop music. Sax,
long-renowned as a mastering
guru, set out to produce his
masterpiece on LP. And so he
brought
his
MCI
JH-110
transport with custom heads and
tube electronics to Camarillo,
California, where Kevin Gray
had assembled the best-sounding
mastering and cutting room that
Sax knew of — AcousTech. His
decision paid off.
When we first learned of EMI's
decision to reissue Dark Side on
vinyl, we along with many of
you worried that they would go
the usual route of major labels,
and we'd all have yet another
mediocre-sounding reissue.
We're
thrilled
to
announce
that
this time the
majors
got it
right. This is it! All of
the dynamics, clarity,
warmth and air…This surpassed
our highest expectations, which
believe us, were quite high. ▲
The clarity is
just insane.

Bob Mintzer Big Band — Homage To Count Basie
The Bob Mintzer Big Band delivers brilliant interpretations of classic Count Basie tunes
by the best musicians in New York (maybe the world). All compositions on Homage to Count
Basie are arranged by Mintzer. All of the solos were performed live with the band and in most
cases using the first take with no overdubs, punch-ins or fixes. Real music in real time.
Familiar tunes like “April in Paris,” “One O’Clock Jump,” “Shinny Stockings,” “Lil’Darlin’”
and “Cute” sound much like the wonderful original arrangements, though definitely
Minzterized. There are also three new Bob Mintzer compositions.

Warren Bernhardt is probably the most underrated
jazz pianist around today. As co-leader of Steps Ahead
and pianist with Steely Dan and Art Garfunkel, it is
unfortunate that Warren has not had the time to bring
his own music to a wider audience. Having worked
with Bill Evans before Bill’s death, Warren has carried
on that special jazz piano improvisation style that Bill
was best known for. Nine tunes, all first takes with
only one edit in the entire album, along with a setup
using no gobos, headphones or isolation make this a
most realistic, un-hyped natural piano trio recording
that also features Jay Anderson and Peter Erskine. If
you think you would like to hear a great trio playing in your listening room, this is
about as close as it gets.

Bob Mintzer Big Band — Gently
“Maybe you’ve noticed. It’s a loud world we live
in. People seem to talk loud, cars are loud, and music
is played at unbearably loud volume. Big bands can
be unbelievably loud. I know this from experience.
There is something compelling about wailing
trumpets, trombones and saxophones. Sometimes it
feels good to play loud. But as a big band leader,
arranger and saxophonist, I’ve had to reconsider the
volume issue. Tom Jung has been after me to do a soft
and more textural big band recording for many years.
After working with Tom for 18 years, I finally figured
out what he was getting at. Gently is exactly what the
title suggests: a gentle approach to the big band instrumentation, using clarinets and flutes in
place of saxophone, muted brass, the addition of french horns on two numbers, and writing
for the band in a range and style that projects a soothing, warm sound.”

The Kinks — The Kink Kontroversy
What was the Kinks Kontroversy? According to Ray
Davies, it was a dispute over the rights to his music
publishing, which erupted around the time that the Kinks’
third album was recorded and released in the final weeks of
1965. To their publicists, it was an opportunity to continue
the inane but mildly amusing tactic of sticking as many Ks
into Kinks PR material as possible. To anyone with half an
ear for rock ‘n’ roll, though, The Kinks Kontroversy was a
superb exhibition of how much progress the North London
quartet had made since their first hit single, “You Really
Got Me,” little more than a year earlier.

(No. 3), “God Only Knows” (No. 39) and “Caroline, No” (No. 32). As Linett wrote in the notes for
The Pet Sounds sessions "every attempt was made to duplicate the feel and sound of the original
mono mixes." Beach Boys aficionados, however, will discover instances where the stereo mix of a
song differs significantly from the mono mix. From 1962-1969, Capitol released 20 albums from
Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love, Alan Jardine and Bruce Johnston as The
Beach Boys became the most popular group in America and ultimately one of the most popular in
the world. The Beach Boys were inducted into The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

Vivaldi, Bach & Kodaly —
Violoncello/Belkin, cello/Friedman,
piano/Kanta, cello
J.S. Bach understood to perfection the “possibilities”
of all stringed instruments. He also profoundly
understood the individual technical and musical character
of each stringed instrument, as well as its limitations.
Nowhere is Bach’s holistic understanding of a stringed
instrument more evident than in his six works for
violoncello solo. Bach writes completely in harmony
with the natural pitch, tone quality and pace of the
violoncello. Vivaldi was progressive musically. He
established the concerto form as an instrumental
standard, played with the idea that the soloist was at war with the larger orchestra and
using the contrasts to dramatic effect, he pushed the envelope on violin technique.
Tchaikovsky: The Seasons/Tchaikovsky Chamber Music Society
Seasons represents scenes from Russian life, landscapes from the heart of Russia and its
climactic features: white nights in May, hay cutting in July, and wheat harvesting in August.
During the composition of Seasons, Tchaikovsky incorporated three distinct musical styles.
Each month from Seasons was given a sub-title by Tchaikovsky and an epigraph
written by a variety of famous Russian poets.

John Lee Hooker — Burnin’
This Hooker album was quite a departure for him,
his standard lineup being replaced for the occasion by
Motown session musicians. This fuller sound,
although employed by Hooker earlier, could have
been a risky departure for him in view of his success
with solo or intimate group recordings. However, it
proved a total success, Hooker’s voice being the main
strength of an album which featured spot-on
arrangements. Just listen, for instance, to the moody “I
Got A Letter” and “Drug Store Woman.” The album
also featured a big pay-off in the form of Hooker’s
classic “Boom Boom.”

A collection of hits, originally released in 1970 when Cash was at the zenith of his career
(he even had his own TV series, The Johnny Cash Show, during this period). In 1968
“Folsom Prison Blues” (an updated version of his early Sun single) hit No. 1 on the C&W
charts, and the following year the song won a Grammy for best country vocal performance.
Cash went on to become an active prisoner’s rights advocate in the 1970s, performing a series

same year that Cash made his Grand Ole Opry debut.

Long before the “concept album” became popular, Johnny Cash made several albums

“Strengthened the bonds between folk and country music so that both sides saw their

accept the unconventional and the controversial and he did as much as anyone to make the

single, “Boogie Chillen’,” a style that would be widely imitated in the following decades by

Like so many other musicians, guitarist and composer Doc Powell paid his dues in the
small club setting, churning out set after set, year after year, exploring and experimenting and
innovating until his chops were sharpened to a razor’s edge. Two decades later, Powell still
remembers, and with the release of 97th and Columbus, he pays tribute to his early days with
a strong showing of original compositions punctuated by a few tracks penned by Powell’s
heroes from an earlier generation. A few friends from the old neighborhood make
appearances among the album’s 10 tracks, including Luther Vandross, Marcus
Miller, Harvey Mason, George Duke and Patrice Rushen.

Will & Rainbow — Over Crystal Green
Some 26 years after the great Crystal Green record of
1976 sold more than 175,000 copies for the East Wind
Label, Will Boulware and producer Yasohachi Itoh
reunited for this follow-up, Over Crystal Green. Again,
the focus is Boulware’s organ and keyboards work. A
renowned jazzman who helps anchor the current Maceo
Parker outfit, Boulware is joined on Over Crystal Green
by the rhythm section of Will Lee on bass, Steve Gadd
on drums, Peter Bernstein on guitar and Jon Werking on
keyboards and the horn section of Bob Berb and
Michael Brecker on tenor saxophones and Randy
Brecker on trumpet. This record already won Swing Journal’s Golden Disk award. Don’t

Grady Tate Sings — All Love
Grady Tate has been one of the world’s most versatile,
frequently-recorded musicians for more than 40 years. He
is often featured as a distinctive drummer, but in fact, he is
also one of the best vocalists in the world. For this album,
Grady Tate selects everything from standards to ‘50s
musical hit numbers to his own composition, but the
common theme is “love.” That is the very message Tate,
who celebrated his 70th birthday during the recording date,
wanted to remind people of. The members accompanying
Tate are: Kenny Barron (piano), Ira Coleman (bass) and
drummer Jimmy Cobb. Grady’s voice swings gently and
sometimes longingly together with the finest trio. Recorded by David Baker.

Joe Chambers — Urban Grooves
Joe Chambers has been described as one of the greatest
drummers to come out of the ‘60s. Chambers has
contributed to the scene not only as a drummer, but also as
composer and arranger since then. He has recorded
infrequently as a leader, but he is not one to become
stagnant and tries to keep surprising the music world. On
this album he plays drums, vibraphone and marimba, and
on “Sid’s Ahead” and “Afreeka” he stunts on switching in
an instant from marimba to drums. Please note that this was
all recorded live-to-two-track with no overdubs. Chambers
is joined by his old buddy saxophonist Gary Bartz. The
tunes vary from standards such as “In a Sentimental Mood” and “Stella by Starlight” to some of
Chambers’ own compositions. Recorded by David Baker.

Ravi Coltrane — Mad 6
This album contains Ravi Coltrane’s most updated style
as an artist who is evolving each day. Two of the songs here
are by his father, John Coltrane. Other standards include
“Ask Me Now” and “‘Round Midnight.” And of course
there are Ravi’s own compositions. There were two
different units collaborating on this project; one with
George Colligan (piano) and Darryl Hall (bass), and
another with Andy Milne (piano) and James Genus (bass).
Drummer Steve Hass participates on both units. These are
free, improvisation numbers that illustrate the cohesiveness
of the musicians chosen. Listeners may find Ravi’s sound to
be deeper and calmer than on his former recordings. Recorded by David Baker

Clark Terry & Max Roach — Friendship
Clark Terry (trumpet), born 1920, and Max Roach
(drums), born 1924, have been cultivating the music scene
since the ‘40s. This album is a remarkable monument of
their careers as musicians. The title not only refers to the
relationship between Clark and Max but also a dedication
to all the musicians they have collaborated with during their
remarkable careers. The tunes include duos with Terry and
Roach as well as solos by each jazz legend and then a
couple songs with Don Friedman (piano) and Marcus
McLaurine (bass). Clark Terry has contributed to many
famous big bands and gained a strong reputation as the
trumpet player of the world. As if an homage to those days, he plays both mute trumpet and
flugelhorn on “To Basie With Love,” switching each instrument at once. This album surely is
another precious treasure for the history of jazz. Recorded by David Baker.

Eddie Henderson — So What
It has been more than 10 years since the great Miles
Davis died. Many musicians have recorded tributes to Miles
since then, but this latest album of Eddie Henderson’s is
surely one of the best. Knowing Miles personally since the
late ‘50s, Eddie was strongly influenced by his sound, style
and way of thinking. Henderson himself says that he “was
so thrilled to make a tribute to Miles. But even as a tribute
album, it doesn’t mean anything if the musicians play
completely the way Miles did. You should better listen to
Miles’original album in such case. What is important here
is to create a new music and to express our originality
through Miles’music. I thought that will be a real tribute to Miles. So I have asked the musicians to
play different from the original.” These well-known standards are freshly revived by talented
musicians expressing their language through carefully-considered arrangments. Recorded by
David Baker.

Marlena Shaw — Live In Tokyo
Vocalist Marlena Shaw is a true original with
sensational charm and versatile style. Her performance
takes away the border which separates jazz, soul, rock, pop
and R&B. She also has a natural ability to connect with the
audience. It can be said that her amazing talent is best
expressed when singing live for the audience. If you have
ever experienced her live performance, it is no wonder that
her schedule has remained booked throughout the years.
This album was record live at B Flat, Tokyo, where the
tickets were sold out immediately. Marlena Shaw and her
trio — Clarence McDonald (piano), Jeff Chambers (bass)
and Ron Otis (drums) — with the guest saxophone player Rickey Woodard fascinated the exited
crowd with various repertoire; from jazz standards to pop numbers including her hits such as
"Don't Ask to Stay Until Tomorrow (Theme from Looking for Mr. Goodbar),” "Feel Like Makin'
Love" and "Loving You Was Like a Party."

The Great Jazz Trio — Autumn Leaves
The original “Great Jazz Trio” — Hank Jones (piano),
Ron Carter (bass) and Tony Williams (drums) — was
formed in the ‘70s and recorded several albums including
the famous Live at Village Vanguard series. Since then,
members have changed except pianist Hank Jones. It now
can be said that GJT is the name of the band Hank Jones
leads, but that name is only to be applied when the other
musicians are worth the band name. When you notice the
personnel of this album, you will surely understand why it is
under the name of The Great Jazz Trio. Of course the pianist
and the leader is Hank Jones, but this time he is with
Richard Davis on the bass and Elvin Jones on the drums. This is the first album that all three of
these giants got together to record.

Roy Haynes — Love Letters
Roy Haynes has been working with the musicians on the
cutting edge in every decade since the '40s. His energetic
style and the challenging sprit has never weakened, on the
contrary, remaining very fresh (in his outlook too). His pick
for the collaborating musicians is always finest, which
brings the credit as "master drummer and the bandleader" of
the world.
This album features two great settings: one date featuring
tenor saxophone (Joshua Redman, Kenny Barron and
Christian McBride), and the other with guitar (John
Scofield, David Kikoski and Dave Holland). The format
varies according to the piece; it can be said that the beauty of jazz music is condensed in this very
album. You’ll be enchanted by the versatile and flexible performance of each artist, including the
amazing drums solo piece, "Shades of Senegal 2.” Haynes also pays homage to the musicians he
has worked with in his early career by picking "Stompin' at the Savoy" in the repertoire - the
legendary Savoy Ballroom was the very first club where Haynes performed when he first came to
New York in 1945. Recorded by David Baker.

Don Friedman Trio — Waltz For Debby
Sophisticated improvisation, lyrical phrasing and
flamboyant interplay — every beautiful essence of a piano
trio is on this album. Don Friedman has been known for a
long time as a musician’s musician, praised for his lyrical
style and his technical virtuosity. Here he teams with bassist
George Mraz and drummer Lewis Nash to explore the
beauty of music. The album is a mixture of his sassy, wellconceived originals and standards. Friedman’s original tunes
have the quality of standards and great episodes, too. “35 W.
4th Street” is titled after the address of New York University
where he teaches piano techniques, improvisation and jazz
theory. One day his students did not show up, so he sat in front of the piano and fingered some
codes, which gave him an idea for this tune. While listing the tunes he wanted to record on this
album, Friedman thought blues or fast tunes would make the list complete. So he forced himself to
compose a new tune, just days before the date. “Flamands” is the name of a beach in the French
West Indies. Friedman had visited this beautiful beach on vacation and was inspired. “From A to Z”
is dedicated to his friend and a wonderful Hungarian guitarist, Attila Zolla. They collaborated in the
‘60s when they were active on the West Coast scene. Recorded by David Baker.

How refreshing in this age of
musical inconsistency to get
the goods straight from a man
who's got you, the discerning
audiophile and
jazz nut, in mind.
Yasohachi Itoh, the guy they call Eighty-Eight, is
back doing what he does best — churning out
delicious jazz of the highest sonic merit. If you
don't recognize his name, maybe you'll know
his work.
But first, how 'bout that name? More than a
mouthful, it's apropos. Yasohachi spells EightyEight in the Chinese character. So happens the Yasohachi Itoh, the guy
piano, specifically in a jazz context, was the they call Eighty-Eight
focus of a young Itoh's interest when he began
producing records for Phonogram of Japan around 1970. It was during his
eight years with Phonogram that Itoh first impressed audiophiles with his East
Wind label, a Phonogram spawn that specialized in direct-to-disc jazz
recordings. East Wind highlights included recordings by The Great Jazz Trio,
The LA Four, Joe Sample, Art Farmer and Will Boulware.
Itoh's success at Phonogram and with his East Wind subsidiary brought
a coveted job offer from Sony. The jazz producer took the Sony gig in
1977, but the job meant turning his attention to developing Asian pop
artists. He did so very successfully for more than 20 years. Finally, Itoh
yearned to get back to making records of his natural taste — jazz records.
Sony has allowed him to pursue those interests through their group
company Village Records, which established Eighty-Eight's label. Itoh is
back to living up to his nickname, and Acoustic Sounds is thrilled to
announce its exclusive mail-order distribution deal with this promising
label.
Itoh's corralled a cast of the same people who made East Wind's
success. One such integral part is engineer David Baker, who engineered
most of the East Wind titles and has since won acclaim for his work with
artists like Shirley Horn and Medeski, Martin and Wood. Baker has also
been the chief engineer for Blue Heaven Studios and APO Records. He is
the lead engineer on six of the eight initial Eighty-Eight's releases. Those
debut titles include Will & Rainbow — Over Crystal Green which won Swing
Journal's Golden Disk award. The record features Will Boulware, the
incredibly-talented organ and keyboards player who won the keys job with
Maceo Parker and who recently recorded on a Prince album. Over Crystal
Green is the follow-up to Crystal Green, which Itoh, Baker and Boulware
teamed to record in the East Wind days. That album sold in excess of
175,000 copies.
Itoh also reunited with the great piano player Hank Jones, who put
together a reincarnated version of The Great Jazz Trio that includes his
younger brother and legendary drummer Elvin Jones. Autumn Leaves
marked the Jones' brothers first recording together in some 10 years.
Other Eight-Eight's offerings speak for themselves with names like Clark
Terry, Max Roach, Eddie Henderson and Joe Chambers.
All of the Eighty-Eight's titles are available on high-quality vinyl and
SACD. In fact, Baker said that for all of the sessions he was involved with,
Itoh insisted on recording simultaneously to several mediums. At Avatar
Studios in New York City, where Baker has done his Eighty-Eight's work, the
sessions were recorded directly to DSD in two-channel for the SACD and
CD releases, to half-inch analog tape at 30 inches per second for the LPs,
and also to DAT.
This is serious jazz with serious sound, and it's all new. More great
Eighty-Eight's titles are on the way. Keep it tuned to Acoustic Sounds for
more on this exciting new venture.

John Lee Hooker — It Serve
You Right To Suffer
John Lee Hooker himself did not
know his exact date of birth. If he
hadn't died at around the age of 80,
this ageless musician would still be
easily pulling the next generation
to his gigs. Hooker remains a
phenomenon, a mysterious figure
of black rhythm and blues, a
charismatic king who reigns
supreme in rock 'n' roll's Hall of
Fame. John W. Peters described
his music as a synthesis of
scorching emotional ardour,
unrelenting rhythmic intensity,
and original poetry of a highly
personal character. Anyone
hearing him for the first time may
well be startled at the unfiltered passion and power of his music.
And another surprise is in store for those who compare Hooker's late recordings
with those made in the Sixties. His unmistakable, raw voice has fully matured, but his
style of singing appears markedly finer and more flexible. And then there is the perfect
gem of a rhythm group whose sinewy sounds fill the grooves with merciless
gravitational force. It's enough to make your spine tingle!

Gabor Szabo with Gary McFarland & Co.
— Gypsy ‘66
During the early Sixties, the New York jazz scene
became acquainted with a sensitive and somewhat shy
guitarist who gradually played his way into the limelight.
The name was Gabor Szabo. After a lengthy odyssey,
both geographically and musically speaking, Szabo left
Budapest shortly after the revolution, tried his hand at
Indian classical music and French pop, and went on to
study at the Berklee School of Music in Boston where he
worked with Chico Hamilton and Charles Lloyd before
treading his own music path.
The whirlwind tour offered on Gypsy ‘66 contains
some surprises, and takes one less in the direction of Gabor Szabo’s Sinti background than in that
of American and English songbooks: John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s “Yesterday” and “If I
Fell” are performed with great charm and lyrical ease. The two Burt Bacharach numbers “Walk On
By” (yes, Dionne Warwick’s great hit!) and the less well-known “The Last One To Be Loved” are
played with an ethereal touch but without pathos. Gary McFarland proves his talent as an
outstanding arranger in the two titles “The Echo Of Love” and “Flea Market.”

Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 “Organ”/Louis
Fremaux/Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
“Saint-Saëns uses the organ in two movements of the symphony. It is first
heard in a quiet introduction to the slow movement, which in spite of a rather
solemn reputation for being ‘quasi-religious’is, to this listener, at least, a
poignantly romantic, lyrical section with a lovely, arching main theme. The
mighty ‘king of instruments’resonates at full throttle in the finale of the work
as it thunders an undergirding to a breathtaking build-up of strings, winds,
clamoring brass and hammering timpani. This marvelously jubilant C major
‘noise’is truly one of the most thrilling climaxes in all symphonic music.”

Poulenc: Concerto For Organ — Petit: Concerto For Organ/Gillian Weir,
organ/ECO
There can be no better way to highlight the potential of Super Audio surround sound than
with an organ recital. The technology reproduces the acoustic environment in a breathtakingly
realistic manner. On this multichannel mix, the organ is actually behind you (in the listening
room), simply because that is the way it is in the chapel.
Dame Gillian Weir is one of today’s foremost organists. She has become established as a
distinguished musician known for her virtuosity, integrity and outstanding musicianship,
which, combined with a notable personal charisma, have placed her in the forefront of her
profession and won her the admiration of audiences and critics alike.
“...Gillian Weir and the ECO turn up trumps with a gloriously detailed and
at times spellbinding performance.” — Gramophone

O Brother, Where Art Thou? — Original
Motion Picture Soundtrack
One of the most successful movie soundtracks in
recent memory. In order to capture the sound of
Mississippi circa 1932, the Coen Brothers
commissioned T-Bone Burnett, a masterful producer
whose work with artists like Elvis Costello, Sam
Phillips, Joseph Arthur and Counting Crows has
earned him a special place in the folk-rock hall of
fame, to research and re-create the country, bluegrass,
folk, gospel, and blues of the era. The Coens were so
taken with Burnett’s discoveries that the film became a
unique sort of musical revue. There are no original
compositions here (though Burnett is given a “music by” credit usually reserved for
composers), but nearly every scene in O Brother is set to a period song, and the music
frequently drives and defines the action. With one exception — a stunning 1955 Alan Lomax
recording of a black prison chain gang singing “Po Lazarus” — every song was recorded for
the film by an impressive assembly of old-time country veterans (Fairfield Four, Ralph
Stanley, the Whites) and talented newcomers (Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss,
Emmylou Harris).

Ryan Adams — Gold
Gold — the brilliant second solo album from Ryan
Adams — will only heighten the artist’s current role as
one of the most revered songwriter-performers of his
generation. But like all great art, Gold should also serve
to surprise and confuse the expectations of those who’ve
been quick to place labels on the extremely talented and
prolific former leader of the now-legendary alternativecountry band Whiskeytown. While Adams’ previous
releases were mostly downbeat affairs, all it takes is one
listen to the Pete Townshend-like power chords and ‘60s
soul organ that dominate this album’s opening track,
“New York, New York” — or the happy-go-lucky, takeno-prisoner harmonica on “Firecracker” with its “Let me be your baby tonight” chorus — to alert
the listener to the fact that Gold is going to be anything but a sad affair.

Lost Highway – Mobile Fidelity
Drive-By Truckers — Southern Rock Opera
Although only recently joining the impressive roster
at Lost Highway Records, Drive-By Truckers' two-disc
tour-de-force Southern Rock Opera is already something
of a legend in indie circles. Whether born of madness or
genius (to be fair, most likely both), Southern Rock
Opera explores — and attempts to untangle — what the
Truckers' Patterson Hood refers to as "the duality of the
Southern thing" through the tragic career arc of a semimythical Southern rock band, one "Betamax Guillotine."
Loosely based on Southern rock's star-crossed heroes,
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Betamax Guillotine takes a bumpy,
pitfall-laden path to the top, crashing cars into trees,
hoisting lighters, draining bottles, selling gear and checking in with the likes of Neil Young,
Skynyrd, Bear Bryant, AC/DC and George Wallace en route to its tragic fiery conclusion.

Chinese virtuoso Pipa player, Jiang Ting’s debut outside of China. with a history of more than
2,000 years, the Pipa is one of that culture’s oldest and most elegant instruments. Originally round,
the Pipa was a highly regarded instrument of the court. Over the centuries however, with influence
from Iran, the current pear shape evolved and the Pipa became more widely accepted and heard in
entertainment and ritual genres outside the court. The sound of the Pipa is at once elegant and

located at Record Technology, Inc., the
plant where the vinyl will be pressed.
It is a tremendous sonic advantage to
have the pressing plant, plating department and mastering room in the same
facility as now Steve and Kevin can cut
a lacquer and have it plated immediately. This prevents the degradation of the
grooves in the lacquer, which is very
fragile and prone to quick deterioration.
And of course cutting at 45 RPM is
the audiophile choice for highest quality. A 45-RPM record is sonically superior to a 331⁄3 variety because of a 35
percent reduction of groove curvature
compared to a 331⁄3 cut. It means that
while you can't fit as much music onto
a 45, the undulations of the groove
that your cartridge has to track are
stretched over a longer distance. For
these reissues, the music will be displaced onto four record sides, meaning
that each side will contain about ten
minutes of music.
So there you have it.
This is the ultimate reissue series. The
only way you'll get closer to this classic
music is to listen to the master tapes.
Now it does. Analogue Productions is
reissuing the TOP 25 titles from
Fantasy, Inc., keepers of the world's
mightiest jazz catalog. Never has such
a set been available on 180-gram vinyl
cut at 45 RPM and limited to 1,000

Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny

Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley,
Thelonious Monk, Count Basie, Gene

A Stereo copy of Lonely and
Blue, Orbison’s first Monument
release in 1961, is almost impossible
to find in any condition. Almost
equally rare Mono copies are usually
in poor condition having been played

and Orbison lovers, for the first time,
to truly compare the Mono and
Stereo versions of the titles cut from
the same two track original masters
that were originally used for the first
issues. The Mono is cut from a
folding of the stereo channels. The
stereo versions have historically been
more sought after because of their
relative scarcity but which is really
better? Many would argue persuasively that the Mono is the proper way to listen to
this legendary title, but we’ll let you be the judge of that. Complete with original

Roy Orbison’s second album features early Orbison production flourishes, with swooping

In the first place, Beethoven conquered the music metropolis of Vienna as a pianist. As his
pupil Czerny reports: “His improvisation was exceedingly brilliant and amazing.” Although
as a free-lance pianist and composer Beethoven’s circumstances were highly modest, he was
able to realize his visions of innovative music without being dependent on clients or
employers. And thus he created the majority of his masterpieces for piano in his chosen
country of adoption: his piano sonatas, his Diabelli Variations and also his five great
piano concertos.

Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C minor,
Op. 67 — Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 in
A, Op. 90 “Italian”/Sir Colin Davis/BBC
Symphony Orchestra (Beethoven)/Boston
Symphony Orchestra (Mendelssohn)
The fact that, in his simply gigantic symphonic
oeuvre, Ludwig van Beethoven presented musical
posterity with an almost insoluble mystery is not in
the last place due to Richard Wagner’s famous
assertion, according to which no one was able to write
symphonies after Beethoven. This frequently quoted
statement is supported by the uniquely classical
character of that genre, which Beethoven crafted in
such a unique manner. The result was a tendency to heroize and mythicize the composer,
based both on the appreciation of the brilliant development of structure of the form handed
down and on the humanistic, idealized principle of “per aspera ad astra,” with its message of
optimism and hope. No other work embodies this principle as perfectly as Beethoven’s
Symphony No. 5.
Mendelssohn also found the burden of Beethoven’s symphonies hard to bear. Nevertheless,
together with his Scottish Symphony, his Italian Symphony marked the “beginning of a new age of
the symphony. As ‘travel symphonies’, their underlying theme is the discovery of foreign parts and
the experience of the unknown. [...] No, both the ‘Scottish’and the ‘Italian’mark the overcoming of
the Beethoven trauma and both rank as epochal works in the literature of the symphony,
thanks to their nationalistic-romantic tone” (Steinbeck).
Handel: Organ Concertos Nos. 1, 2, 3 & 4/Jaap Schröder/
Concerto Amsterdam/Daniel Chorzempa, organ
Handel’s Organ Concerto No. 1 in G minor was probably played in public for the first
time on February 19, 1736 during a performance of Alexander’s Feast. He presented his
Organ Concertos No. 2 in B flat and No. 3 in G minor during a performance of Esther and,
finally, his Organ Concerto No. 4 on April 1, 1735 during Athalia. Handel’s best known
Organ Concerto (in G minor) has a dramatic and powerful first movement, followed by an
Allegro ringing with enthusiasm. The Adagio is entirely reserved for the organ. The
final Andante completes the concerto with a wealth of variations.

new music
Mozart: The Four Horn Concertos/Rondo in E flat/Marriner/Academy of
St. Martin in the Fields/Alan Civil, horn
Mozart’s instrumental concertos did not result from a random desire to compose, they
were always composed to mark an occasion. Mozart wrote them either for personal use in
concert, as was the case with his piano and violin concertos, or for renowned and excellent
soloists. Thus three of his four horn concertos and his Rondo in E flat were also tailor-made
for the virtuoso Joseph Leutgeb (1732-1811) and his instrument. Due to its rather modest
musical capacities, the horn of the time was not a first choice for a solo instrument.
Considering the numerous high demands made by Mozart of the soloists in his
concertos, it is clear that Leutgeb must have virtually mastered the instrument.
Rossini: Famous Overtures/Berühmte Ouvertüren/Marriner/Academy of
St. Martin in the Fields
The eight overtures by Gioacchino Rossini recorded on this CD were written between
1810 and 1814, and as such cover the early operatic period of the composer, who was born in
Pesaro in 1792. Despite his world-wide popularity, primarily thanks to his popular operas,
Rossini never managed to rise above the ranking of a musically aesthetic, yet rather secondrate composer, especially in German-speaking countries (in complete contrast to countries
such as England and, of course, Italy). Rossini had his German antipode, Beethoven, to thank
for this ranking. Both are considered outstanding examples of strongly contrasting “music
cultures”, which by the way have lost little of their validity right up to the
present day.
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6 in B minor,
Op. 74/Nutcracker Suite, Op.
71a/Ozawa/Orchestre de Paris
Only a few works from Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky’s
huge oeuvre have gained general acceptance;
however, these are of such an enduring nature that the
Russian is ranked among the great composers in the
history of music.
Tchaikovsky’s symphonic work, written between
1866 and 1893, consists of six symphonies, as well as
his Manfred Symphony, which he did not number.
The hopelessness embodied by his Symphony No. 6
in B minor, Op. 74 recorded here, for which his
brother Modest proposed the title Pathétique, provides a tragic finale to his immense
body of work.
Vivaldi: Flute Concertos/I Musici/Severino Gazzelloni, flute
The reason behind Vivaldi actually turning to the genre of the flute concerto was most
likely his acquaintance with the German flautist, composer and music theoretician, Johann
Joachim Quantz (1697-1793), whom he had met in Venice in 1726. At the time, the
traditional role of the flute was of minor importance in Italy; thus, it is quite remarkable that
the first collection of flute concertos ever to be printed came from the hand of an Italian
composer. Apparently the publisher Le Céne ordered some concertos for transverse flute from
Vivaldi, in order to keep up with the “flute-mania” which was slowly spreading throughout
Europe. However, only one actual solo concerto was written for Op. 10, as all the others were
simply arrangements of pervious compositions.

their promoters have always drawn a veil of mystery around Los Indios Tabajaras, so it’s tough
to trace their early years accurately. Eventually, they both mastered the guitar and their RCA
recording career began in 1943. RCA — both the U.S. and Latin American divisions —
continued to record them well into the 1980s, and their mellow guitar style proved
a big influence on a new generation of guitarists such as Rick Vito.

Greg Brown — The Poet
Game
“If you ever feel so bad that the
only thing that’ll help is feeling even
worse before you start feeling better,
then The Poet Game is for you. These
are some of the bravest, most literate,
intelligent, musical, harrowing —
and tuneful — songs I’ve ever heard,
minimally arranged for the basic
two-guitar/B-K/bass, drums folkrock combo and sung by Brown in
his inimitable deep fog voice. Brown
built up to this one through nine
earlier albums over more than a
decade, and it’s a keeper. For those
dark nights of the soul when you
need to know that at least one other
human being has felt as hopeless as
you do and survived to tell these cold-comfort tales. Sound is wonderfully spacious,
dark, liquid, with great warm bass. Sobering.”

Peter Gabriel 3
Generally regarded as Peter Gabriel’s finest record,
his third album finds him crafting material that’s artier,
stronger, more song oriented than before. Consider its
ominous opener, the controlled menace of "Intruder."
He's never found such a scary sound, yet it’s a sexy
scare, one that is undeniably alluring, and he keeps
this going throughout the record. Even radio favorites
like "I Don't Remember" and "Games Without
Frontiers" are hardly cheerful, spiked with paranoia
and suspicion. He wound up having albums that sold
more, or generated bigger hits, but this third Peter
Gabriel album remains a masterpiece. Transferred, for
the first time ever from the original 30-ips 1/4" master on Bernie Grundman’s all tube cutting
system, this Classic 200-gram pressing, packaged in a deluxe gatefold die-cut jacket
with printed inner sleeves, is the definitive LP version of this giant album
LP = ARWC 3 $29.99
Peter Gabriel 4
Gabriel’s fourth album, which was titled Security
in the U.S., continues where the third album left off,
sharing some of the same dense production and sense
of cohesion, yet lightening the atmosphere and
expanding the sonic palette somewhat. The gloom that
permeates the third album has been alleviated, and
while this is still decidedly somber and serious music,
it has a brighter feel, partially derived from Gabriel’s
dabbling in African and Latin rhythms. These are
generally used as tonal coloring, enhancing the
synthesizers that form the basic musical bed of the
record. 4 flows easily and enticingly with songs like
the eerie “San Jacinto,” “I Have the Touch” and “Shock the Monkey.” It remains a
powerful listen, one of the better records in Gabriel’s catalog.

Jefferson Airplane — Volunteers
Disturbed — Believe
“Jefferson Airplane,” wrote Rolling Stone magazine, “is a ship which transports its
passengers to the revolutionary fantasies of their own minds.”
As self-appointed executors of chaos and anarchy, Jefferson Airplane turned on their fans
with musical sexual allegories, drug-extolling lyrics and revolutionary songs. In 1966, armed
with a lucrative recording contract from RCA-Victor, they won against much opposition from
recording company bosses and released their album Volunteers, thereby bringing what is
probably the very best recording from their early years to the public.

with hippie spirituality and raw sexuality. “Bang A Gong (Get It On)” was their biggest hit,
topping the British charts, cracking the American top ten, and sending Bolan on his way to
cult hero immortality. “Electric Warrior” is an essential title, packaged in original gatefold

Procol Harum — Procol Harum
Procol Harum’s self-titled debut album in its original mono UK version as released by
Regal Zonophone, a sub-label of EMI. There have been several electronically processed or
“fake” stereo versions though the session was only mixed to mono. Furthermore, Classic
Records adhered to Regal Zonophone’s decision to keep the hit single track, “Whiter Shade
of Pale,” off of the full-length LP. Where as Regal Zonophone released that song separately as
a 7” single, Classic has included it as a 12” disc with the song cut at 33 1/3 on one side and 45
on the other. Good stuff! And if that’s not enough, Classic also unearthed the only two fourtrack tapes that came out of the Procol Harum session. Those tapes hold alternate takes of
“Whiter Shade of Pale” and “Lime Street Blues” (which originally backed “Whiter Shade”
on the 7” single). Classic took those four-track tapes to David Gilmore’s house boat-turned
recording studio on the River Thames and, using mixing engineer John Leckie, created the
first-ever true stereo version of “Whiter Shade of Pale.” Granted, it is an alternate take of the
song, but only a diehard fan of that song can hear the subtle instrumental differences. So,
that stereo version has been pressed on a 7” record and backed with a stereo alternate of
“Lime Street Blues.” The 7” bonus disc will be included in the first 1,000 pressings
of Procol Harum.

suicide on “Easy Tonight” and the desire to belong

lining in the areas of family (“Easy Tonight”) and
idolatry (“Michael Jordan”). The songs are sung in a

Harris, the album is filled with surprising and inspired
instrumental touches (a brass duo here, a mandocello
or dulcimer there) and impeccably-recorded electric
and acoustic guitars, fiddles and basses. Drawing upon
material by then-emerging writers like Rodney
Crowell (whose “Bull Rider,” with its undertow-like
guitar lick, is a highlight), Jack Clement and Billy Joe
Shaver, as well as such country staples as “(Ghost)
Riders In The Sky,” which reached number two on the
C&W charts, Cash is in peak form as both singer and storyteller.

Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) was perhaps the most influential figure in classical music
in the last half of the twentieth century. Composer, conductor, author, lecturer and often
controversial media personality, the American-born Bernstein had a dramatic impact on the
popular audience’s acceptance and appreciation of classical music. For much of his career,
including his legendary tenure as music director of the New York Philharmonic, Bernstein
recorded exclusively for Columbia/CBS Masterworks, which is now Sony Classical. This
vast legacy of recordings, featuring his work as both composer and conductor, is now being
remastered and collected in a comprehensive new Sony Classical series entitled
Bernstein Century.

OTIS REDDING on
180-gram Vinyl
Nobody burrowed deeper into a
song than Otis Redding — the
most emotive, soulful singer the ‘60s
ever produced. With the Stax/Volt
horn section wailing in his wake,
Redding’s grainy voice and
impassioned, sweat-soaked delivery
kept him straddling both pop and
soul charts until his death in 1967.
Here are 180-gram vinyl exact
reproductions of three of Redding’s
essential LPs: The Soul Album
(1966, mono) and the storming live
sets In Person At The Whisky A Go
Go (1968, stereo) and Live In Europe
(1967, stereo).
Otis Redding — The Soul Album (mono)
Tracks: “Just One More Day,” “It’s Growing,” “Cigarettes And Coffee,” “Chain
Gang,” “Nobody Knows You (When You’re Down and Out),” “Good To Me,”
“Scratch My Back,” “Treat Her Right,” “Everybody Makes A Mistake,” “Any Ole

Otis Rush — Mourning In The Morning
For Mourning In The Morning, his 1969 album debut on Atlantic Records, southpaw blues
guitar legend Otis Rush journeyed from his Chicago home to Fame Recording Studios in
Muscle Shoals, Alabama — a burg best known for seminal soul platters. Backed by a hornpowered band that included a young Duane Allman on rhythm guitar, Otis’ slashing axe and
anguished vocals glowed on the tortured “You’re Killing My Love,” remakes of his Cobra
Records classics “My Love Will Never Die” and “It Takes Time,” and a stunning revival of
B.B. King’s “Gambler’s Blues.” Half the set consisted of new compositions from producers
Mike Bloomfield and Nick Gravenites, and Rush’s mile-wide string bending on a

Galilei brought their signature Celtic flair to a
delightful program of works termed “the soundtrack

levels and led one admiring critic to say: “This is one
of that rare handful of CDs that deserves to be called
‘exquisite.’”
Now these talented women have put together a new

18th-century France to the rugged Isles of Scotland and Ireland. Mingled into the

Waters sideman; drummer Willie
“Big Eyes” Smith, a multiple Handy
Award winner and Muddy Waters Band veteran who also lends vocals and harp
work to this mix; guitarist Hubert Sumlin, who backed Howlin’Wolf for 25 years
and inspired a generation of blues rockers; and bassist Tom “Mookie” Brill, a
longtime sideman with Margolin. APO Records’ Jimmy D. Lane also guests on a
live cut recorded in concert at Blue Heaven the night before the recording session
began. Margolin and Lane deliver an emotional duet rendition of a song Margolin
wrote on his way to the funeral of the great Jimmy Rogers, Lane’s father and one of
Margolin’s main influences. This is true traditional blues with audiophile flavor.

strings, winds and percussion, but the king insisted on a very large ensemble of only “warlike” instruments — i.e., instruments without strings. Water Music is a collection of three
suites in different keys and for different instrumentation, and was originally written to

a previous project that I produced and played on with musicians from Bamako, Capital of
Mali in West Africa. Even though the recording was very exciting and inspiring, I had no
choice but to adjust to the musical concept of my West-African friends. The challenge of this

Witness — More Than A Song
Many will remember or know Iain Matthews’ name from the original line up of Fairport
Convention. Or will know his version of Joni Mitchell’s “ Woodstock” which reached the Top
10 in 1970. California native singer-songwriter Eliza Gilkyson was introduced to Matthews
about 13 years ago by a mutual manager in Los Angeles and both guested on each other’s
solo projects in the late ‘80s. By chance, they both found themselves living in Austin, Texas in
the twilight of the last millennium and started occasionally playing music together. The story
now takes us to Amsterdam in Holland, Matthews’ new home and another chance meeting. “I
walked into a club in Amsterdam and Ad was onstage hunched over his guitar with his heart
on his sleeve singing like a prophet. We instantly felt a connection,” says Matthews.
In January 2000 all roads converged and the three met at Swine Lake just outside Austin,
Texas and More Than A Song was born and six songs were recorded.
The second part of the album was finished in Holland in February 2001.

Lightnin’ Hopkins — Live At Newport
Hopkins spent the last two decades of his life as the

including trips to Europe and Japan, and recorded
many more albums. The road naturally led to the
Newport Folk Festival where this 1965 performance
was introduced by Mike Bloomfield, the incendiary
lead guitarist of the Butterfield Blues Band.
Bloomfield calls Hopkins “the King of the Blues,” and
while that’s the sort of claim that begs for an
argument, it reflects the fact that Hopkins’
instrumental style spoke to all sorts of guitarists.
Lightnin’ Hopkins could play the blues on automatic
pilot, but he was also a man who knew the difference between just another gig and playing

Staring down the night on the

headful of faith-shaken voodoo
drums), and closing with “First
Light” (a buzzing reflection on the

The White Stripes — White Blood Cells
“Despite the seemingly instant attention
surrounding them — glowing write-ups in glossy

boasting names like Kate Hudson and Chris
Robinson, and appearances on national TV — the
White Stripes have stayed true to the approach that
brought them this success in the first place. White
Blood Cells, Jack and Meg White’s third effort wraps
their powerful, deceptively simple style around
meditations on fame, love, and betrayal...Few garage
rock groups would name one of their most driving
numbers “I’m Finding It Harder to Be a Gentleman,”
and fewer still would pen lyrics like “I’m so tired of acting tough/I’m gonna do what I
please/Let’s get married,” but it’s precisely this mix of strength and sweetness, among other
contrasts, that makes the White Stripes so intriguing.” — All Music Guide

The White Stripes
"Minimal to the point of sounding monumental,
this Detroit guitar-drums-voice duo makes the most
of its aesthetic choices and the spaces between riffage
and the big beat. In fact, the White Stripes sound
like arena rock as hand-crafted in the attic.
Singer/guitarist Jack White’s voice is a singular,
evocative combination of punk, metal, blues, and
backwoods while his guitar work is grand and
banging with just enough lyrical touches of slide and
subtle solo work to let you know he means to use the
metal-blues riff collisions just so. Drummer Meg
White balances out the fretwork and the fretting with
methodical, spare, and booming cymbal, bass drum, and snare cracks. In a word, economy
(and that goes for both of the players)."

keyboard melodies that enhance the band’s powerful simplicity (and the excellent “The Air
Near My Fingers” features all of these). Crucially, the White Stripes know the difference
between fame and success; while they may not be entirely comfortable with their fame,
they’ve succeeded at mixing blues, punk and garage rock in an electrifying and unique way
ever since they were strictly a Detroit phenomenon. On these terms, Elephant is a

The White Stripes — De Stijl
“Despite their reputation as garage rock
revivalists, the White Stripes display an impressive
range of styles on their second album, De Stijl, which
is Dutch for “the style.” Perhaps the album’s diversity
— which incorporates elements of bubblegum,
cabaret, blues, and classic rock — shouldn’t come as
a surprise from a band that dedicates its album to
bluesman Blind Willie McTell and Dutch artist Gerrit
Rietveld. Nevertheless, it’s refreshing to hear the band
go from the Tommy James-style pop of “You’re Pretty
Good Looking” to the garagey stomp of “Hello
Operator” in a one-two punch. It’s even more
impressive that the theatrical, piano-driven ballad “Apple Blossom” and a cover of Son
House’s “Death Letter” go so well together on the same album.” — All Music Guide

Verve (Speakers Corner) LP
The Jimmy Giuffre 3 — The Easy Way
This production was recorded in 1959 in
Chicago, and maybe that’s the very reason that it
swings and pulsates with such vigor as though
possessed by the devil! And then of course there’s
Ray Brown, right out of the Oscar Peterson Trio,
whose “walking bass” ensures that there’s plenty of
movement. And while there’s obviously no room for
percussion in Jimmy Giuffre’s concept, the
underlying beat will certainly make you want to
snap your fingers and tap your foot. A master of
harmony par excellence, the guitarist Jim Hall was a
man who adopted a soft and gentle timbre. This
recording was recorded spontaneously in the studio: six of the nine compositions were
contributed by Giuffre, and one by Jim Hall, leaving the light and airy “Mack The Knife”
and the toned down “Come Rain Or Come Shine,” both of which have taken on evergreen
status in the history of jazz.

Donald Fagen — The Nightfly
Released in 1982, this was Fagen’s first album after Steely Dan disbanded, and it
marked a striking departure from his earlier work. The album eschewed Steely Dan’s
usual irony and sardonic distance in favor of autobiographical closeness, almost
sentimental in places. The album was recorded with the painstaking attention to detail
that had become a trademark of Steely Dan, and Donald used the same top session
players to create a beautiful sound and one of the best-produced records of the CD
era. Nightfly was an immediate critical success; it was nominated for seven Grammy
Awards and went on to sell in excess of 1 million units.

Ella Fitzgerald Sings The
Rodgers & Hart Song Book
RECOMMENDED
It’s something most everyone has
experienced: whether at one of the
great jazz festivals in Berlin,
Montreux or Paris, or in a small,
provincial jazz club which exudes
the charm of a dingy jazz cavern in
the Fifties — you sit, listen, and then
rack your brain to remember the
name of the number which the
young jazz musician is playing with
all his heart. Just what was the
name? Put the Ella Sings The
Rodgers And Hart Song Book album
on your turntable, and you’re
guaranteed to recall “My Funny
Valentine,” “Blue Moon” and “It
Never Entered My Mind.” All these
and many more excellent ballads flowed out of the pens of the songwriting team.
But don’t make the mistake of associating merely scat singing taken at a cracking
pace with the most famous and the BEST jazz vocalist of the last 70 years. This
album more than demonstrates Ella Fitzgerald’s excellent powers of expression and
her brilliant modulations. What is more, there is a special treat for us in store on this
album: three titles are now appearing on stereo-LP for the very first time. Grab this
one before it’s out of print. It’s a guaranteed winner.
LP = AVER 6009/10 $55.00 (two LPs)
monumental Eighth Symphony, that with the Munich Philharmonic is regarded as his most
successful. Contrary to some of the more recent recordings which aim for making a great
impression on the listener, this performance rather reflects a chamber-music conception
which allows one to follow the development of each phase of its symphonic structure. Even
the weightier passages, with their massive instrumentation and lack of artistic polish, allow
the analytically subdivided strings to sound out robustly and with a wealth of color.

Brahms: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D Major, Op. 77/Erica
Morini, violin/Rodzinski/Philharmonic Orchestra of London
When one considers that Erica Morini’s 60-year career on the concert platform brought
her together with such orchestras as the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Berlin
Philharmonic and took her as far as New York’s Carnegie Hall, the number of recordings
she left us is very small indeed. In order to obtain an idea of this violinist’s great talent,
which she developed to perfection as one of the very first women to attend the Vienna
Conservatory, it has generally been necessary to delve into the shellac record archive. And
of course, such records crackle and hiss, thus ruining the listener’s pleasure. But now here is
the remedy: a stereo recording of Brahms’ Violin Concerto which the 61-year-old Erica
Morini recorded for the Westminster label. Her clean and highly-differentiated timbre, her
lyrical expression, technical perfection and of course her very own thrilling spirit is
marvelous to hear.

Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsodies/Battle of the Huns/Scherchen/Vienna State
Opera Orchestra
In Scherchen’s and the Vienna State Orchestra’s recording it is a delight to bask in the
microcosm of Hungarian melodies which Franz Liszt brought together in his Rhapsodies.
Disdainful of all too obvious contrasts, Scherchen achieves a mildness which is
nevertheless full of tension and excitement by fading in the themes as though with a
dimmer. And that is not all! If you concentrate on listening to the meditative, even
dynamics, you will be rewarded by becoming acquainted with all the refinements of the
scoring. This recording is a joy to hear, thanks to the carefully balanced stereo technique
which Scherchen, a disciple of the electronic era, employed with the utmost care — in all
his recordings — to achieve a natural sound reproduction.

Lost Highway
O Brother, Where Art Thou? —
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
One of the most successful movie soundtracks in recent
memory. In order to capture the sound of Mississippi circa
1932, the Coen Brothers commissioned T-Bone Burnett, a
masterful producer whose work with artists like Elvis Costello,
Sam Phillips, Joseph Arthur and Counting Crows has earned
him a special place in the folk-rock hall of fame, to research
and re-create the country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, and blues of
the era. The Coens were so taken with Burnett’s discoveries that
the film became a unique sort of musical revue. There are no
original compositions here (though Burnett is given a “music
by” credit usually reserved for composers), but nearly every
scene in O Brother is set to a period song, and the music frequently drives and defines the action.
With one exception — a stunning 1955 Alan Lomax recording of a black prison chain gang singing
“Po Lazarus” — every song was recorded for the film by an impressive assembly of old-time
country veterans like The Fairfield Four, Ralph Stanley, the Whites, Alison Krauss and
Emmylou Harris.

orchestral work is, surely, Pictures at an Exhibition, though it was written as a suite for
piano and only orchestrated (by the French master orchestrator Maurice Ravel) after
Mussorgsky’s death. The spectacular Night on the Bare Mountain is also hugely popular in
a version by another composer, Mussorgsky’s fellow-Russian Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
The serene prelude to Mussorgsky’s epic Russian historical opera Khovanshchina is here
performed in the version by Shostakovich. The least well known of the four works is the
jolly folktune Gopak, Liadov’s orchestral arrangement of rousing music by
Mussorgsky for an opera based on Gogol’s short story Sorochintsy Fair.

…Friends everywhere
have lost a great man.
Jimmie Lee Robinson,
the blues pioneer known
as the Lonely Traveller,
died July 6 at age 71 following his battle with cancer.
Jimmie Lee, much beyond being a noted Chicago bluesman whose credits include
work with Freddie King, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Elmore James and
Jimmy Reed, was a man of unmatched dedication, sincerity and philosophy. He was
APO Records' chief ambassador. Mostly, Jimmie Lee was family, a true
friend who gave of himself endlessly without ever expecting a
return. No words can accurately describe how caring Jimmie Lee
was or how missed he'll be.
In addition to recording and performing as a lead, rhythm
and bass guitarist with the aforementioned greats, Jimmie
Lee recorded as a bandleader in the '50s and '60s for
Bandera Records, introducing his vocal punch and songwriting to the public. He is also credited as in the early
'50s being among the first to bring the bass guitar to the
blues by tuning a guitar down an octave and adding a
bass line to the band's arrangement. Chicago blues
bassman Bob Stroger said that Jimmie Lee was among
the best bassists in blues history.
"He was a top session man," Stroger recalled.
"Everyone I knew wanted Jimmie Lee to play. He
was a monster. He was top dog. I lost a good friend.
He was a great guy, and he left a mark in my life."
In the '90s, Jimmie Lee again stepped to the front
of the stage as a solo artist, employing his vocals,
acoustic guitar and trademark spurs as a percussive
instrument. He recorded for several labels, including Delmark, his own Amina Records and then
APO Records beginning in 1998.

Jimmie Lee was also a dedicated activist committed to blues preservation. His chief cause was to
save the Maxwell Street Market, the area on
Chicago's south side where Jimmie Lee and so
many famed Chicago blues artists got their start.
Maxwell Street has been razed in favor of modern
construction in recent years. True to his spirit of
passionate commitment, Jimmie Lee once fasted
for 81 straight days to protest the destruction.
You will be remembered, Jimmie Lee.

ONCE IN A
LIFETIME
he 45-RPM series of LPs from Classic Records have always been in great
demand by collectors and audiophiles alike. The reason is simple: These LPs
are pressed in extremely limited quantities and include some of the finest
classical, jazz and popular music of the 20th Century. Mastering at 45 RPM
(as opposed to 33 1/3) allows the cutter head to inscribe even more
information into wider-spaced grooves. This translates into sound that is
more relaxed and airy with a silky-smoothness that comes startling close to
the sound of the master tape. These records typically sellout within weeks
after their initial release and rarely show up on the collectors market.
To find many of these sealed, out-of-print Classic Records 45RPMs would
be celebration enough. Finding them on sale is truly a once-in-a-lifetime
event!
Sonny Clark — Cool Struttin’
Miles Davis — Sketches Of Spain
A Blue Note catalog mainstay from its debut in 1958, this was
another early 12-inch originally released as mono only. Now
transferred from the first-generation two-track stereo masters, the
quintet sound is wide-open and spacious.
LP = ABNC 1588-45 (Four LPs) $75.00 $55.00
The third and final of the great Miles Davis-Gil Evans
collaborations of 1957-59 was also their most ambitious.
LP = ACCS 8271-45 (Four LPs) $125.00 $75.00
Willie Nelson — Stardust
Ben Webster & Sweets Edison —
Wanted To Do One Together
Standard material — “Moonlight in Vermont,” “All of Me,”

Jones of Green Onions fame and recorded in Nelson’s inimitable
style in Emmylou Harris’ house.
LP = ACCS 35305-45 (Four LPs) $95.00 $50.00
Carole King — Tapestry
Recorded in 1971, this album is one with which you drop the
needle and listen through the entire side — the songs are that
strong.
LP = ACCS 77009-45 (Four LPs) $150.00 $95.00
Billie Holiday — Lady In Satin
Impressed by arrangements she had heard by Ray Ellis,
Holiday cut this album for Columbia in 1959. The results are a
very smooth, velvety set of tunes that go down like a 12-year-old
single-malt Scotch.
LP = ACCS 8048-45 (Four LPs) $85.00 $50.00
Another solid performance featuring Ben Webster playing with
friend Harry “Sweets” Edison. Recorded in 1962, this is a must

copies in the U.S. alone.

selections are top-notch. There are no letdowns on this album.
LP = ACCS 8171-45 (Four LPs) $150.00 $95.00
Duke Ellington — Blues In Orbit
Primarily, this is a blues album. There is no denying that
the blues can be happy as well as sad, fast as well as slow,
and dissonant as well as tonal.
LP = ACCS 8241-45 (Four LPs) $175.00 $125.00

Arguably one of the most influential titles from Coltrane
and one of the greatest Blue Note releases ever.
LP = ABNC 1577-45 (Four LPs) $43.00
Lou Donaldson — Lou Takes Off
Altoist Lou Donaldson, who tends to get lost in the Blue
Note all-star shuffle (even after making over 20 LPs for the
label), is in his prime with this jam.
LP = ABNC 1591-45 (Four LPs) $43.00
Sibelius: Finlandia/MacKerras/

Charles Mingus — Tijuana Moods
Ry Cooder — Buena Vista Social Club

modern jazz and traditional Mexican flavorings captivates the

considered Tijuana Moods the best record he ever made. A
ground breaker!
LP = ALSP 2533-45 (Four LPs) $95.00 $65.00
An international phenomenon upon its release in late 1997,
these sessions feature some of the greatest Cuban musicians ever
in a historical recording event.

LP = ALSP 2612-45 (Four LPs) $75.00 $50.00
Minimally recorded in Whitley’s dad’s tool shed direct to
two-track analog using a single stereo ribbon microphone,
it’s a very intimate, almost spooky session.

"HARP PLAYERS ARE A DYING BREED." SO ONCE SAID A MAN WHO KNEW.
LITTLE HATCH LIKELY WAS THE BEST HARP PLAYER EVER TO MAKE KANSAS
CITY HOME. He died January 14, 81 years old, and with Hatch went
Blues as thick and dirty as the smoke-filled air in the bars he ruled.
Little Hatch was born Provine Hatch Jr. in Sledge, Mississippi in
1921. He picked up the Blues harp for good at 8 years old.
By his teenaged years, after his family had moved to Helena,
Arkansas, Hatch was under the direct spell of Sonny Boy
Williamson II.The Blues, and that harmonica, overcame him.
The obsession turned into a profession for Hatch once he
added vocals to his act.
In his prime, Hatch's performances were raucous. He'd
dance and stomp his feet until his audience felt a fever.
Sometimes Hatch would blow solos 10 minutes long. And as he
aged, Hatch's voice grew as rich as his favorite whiskey. Hatch was
a Bluesman of the real variety.
But it's those Bluesmen who are most often overlooked. Hatch's
fame and most of his gigs were limited to Kansas City. Still, for the world
that was listening, Hatch could be heard.A tiny German label, M&M
Records, released The Little Hatchet Band (LP-3001) in 1972, but distribution
was very limited. In 1992, the Modern Blues Label released a second
live Hatch performance with Well, All Right! (MBR 1204), but the album suffered the same small-scale fate. APO Records owner Chad Kassem couldn't
believe that Little Hatch wasn't a recording star when he first saw him perform
in the
earlyearly
1980s.
By the
latelate
'90s,'90s,
Kassem
hadhad
established
BlueBlue
perform
in the
1980s.
By the
Kassem
established
Heaven Studios and the Blues label APO in Salina, Kansas. He of course
remembered Hatch, and the two formed a relationship that produced
Goin' Back (APO 2007) in 1998 and Rock With Me Baby
(APO 2012), which was pressed just before Hatch's death. A third
Hatch album remains in the APO can.
Artists are never replaced. Neither are legends.That's to say nothing
of harp players, a species Little Hatch once called "a dying breed."

Supertramp /
Crime Of The Century
Even before Pink Floyd thrust
their musical message of
protest, The Mechano-hit The
Wall, under the noses of the
establishment and the established, the melancholic songs
of the group Supertramp had
long found their way into the
hearts of the young who had
been shaken by one crisis
after the other. The LP with its
surrealistic, chilling cover and
eye-raising title was a success all over the world, and
even the sternest critics
showered it with praise. Their
music just floods the senses;
it is as though someone has
put on all the good pop
records of the '60s and '70s
at the same time, lamented the music magazine Sounds helplessly —
totally fascinated by their sound. Crime Of The Century provided plenty of fodder for the hit charts and radio DJs. And even today, the balladesque collage “School” with its bloodcurdling harmonica introduction, the pearl-like Rhodes piano chords in the rocking “Bloody Well
Right,” and the childlike “Dreamer” are the epitome of the pop cult of
the '70s. The recording quality of this disc is excellent, and what is
more — it has been judged the very best album that the English
quintet ever produced.

Thelonious Monk / The Riverside
Tenor Sessions
Despite various reissue
formats over several decades,
the seven original LPs contained in THELONIOUS MONK
THE RIVERSIDE TENOR
SESSIONS stood perfectly well
on their own at the time of initial release and remain among
the highest achievements of a
truly golden age. Recorded
and released between 1956
and 1961, these seven Monk
combo albums were critical in
Monk's emergence from a
decade of ridicule and neglect
to his status at the pinnacle of
the jazz pantheon. In addition
to some of his best recorded
piano performances and more
than two dozen of his profoundly personal compositions, these albums
provide an overview of the era's major tenor saxophonists, with contributions by Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Johnny
Griffin, Charlie Rouse and Harold Land. Max Roach, Art Blakey, Roy
Haynes and Thad Jones are among the other jazz immortals featured
on the essential Brilliant Corners, Monk's Music, Thelonious Monk and
John Coltrane, Thelonious in Action, Misterioso, 5 by Monk by 5 and
Quartet Plus Two at the Blackhawk. Like the Miles Davis quintet records
contained in Analogue Productions' MILES DAVIS QUINTET: THE
PRESTIGE RECORDINGS, these Monk albums are among the pinnacle
of the LP art — and they have never sounded better.

Gil Evans / Out Of The Cool
This album is a brilliant
example of Evans' ability to
make a large orchestra sound
like a smaller jazz combo
using orchestrations that infuse
the larger unit with the
immediacy and spontaneity of
the smaller. Out Of The Cool
features some of Evans’ finest
compositions, including the
famous “La Nevada” as well as
a magnificent performance of
George Russell's
“Sratosphunk.” Soloists include
Budd Johnson (tenor), Johnny
Coles (trumpet), Ray Crawford
(guitar), Elvin Jones (drums),
Ron Carter (bass) and Jimmy
Knepper (trombone). The
ensemble is superbly recorded
by the legendary Rudy Van
Gelder. A must-have for all jazz lovers.

Eva Cassidy / Songbird
Songbird cherry-picks tracks
from three albums of Eva
Cassidy, whose hauntingly
beautiful vocals went virtually
unheard outside her native
Washington, D.C., during her
short 33 years with us. Lost to
melanoma in 1996, Cassidy
sang with an unaffected purity
and an astonishing ability to
make both classic and contemporary songs sound like they
were written just for her. Sting's
"Fields of Gold" finally lives up
to its title through the alchemy
of Cassidy's transcendent rendition, while other tracks on this
anthology showcase her ease
in the realms of pop (Christine
McVie's "Songbird"), soul ("People Get Ready"), gospel (“Wade In The
Water"), and traditional standards ("Autumn Leaves" and "Over the
Rainbow"). Framed by understated jazz and pop arrangements,
Cassidy's clear, soulful voice and exquisite phrasing make her that
rarest of vocalists whose interpretations are a complement to any
song. A fine introduction to a true talent.
"The (record) is rendered hopelessly poignant by the knowledge that
Cassidy died two years ago at 33 from melanoma.... Whether in jazz,
folk or inspirational music, Cassidy's potential was huge, and this album
stands as a testament to popular music's loss." — People

Decca (Speakers Corner) - Eel Pie (Classic Records)
Dvorak: Symphony No. 5 in E
minor / Kertesz
Kertesz's approach is as
simple and straightforward as
could be, yet the hushed
intensity of the playing conveys
a depth of feeling that makes
one hear the music with new
ears. The recording quality is
outstanding, among the best
this symphony has had. The
performance is enjoyable and
agreeably fresh, and there is a
sudden quickening of tempo
after its reprise at the end.
There is plenty of excitement
and the Vienna Philharmonic
plays the Largo most
beautifully. Vienna
conducted by Istvan Kertesz

Holst: The Planets / Mehta
Earth was not created in a
day. And the same applies to
Gustav Holst's interplanetary
symphony which took him
about three years to write.
The composer employs a
massive orchestra and rich
orchestral coloring to portray
each planet in his musical
psychogram. Mars, the
Bringer of War, rages with
mechanical brutality, while
Venus brings peace and an
acceptance of life. Mercury,
the Winged Messenger, darts
here and there with quicksilver speed, while powerful
and sovereign Jupiter brings
jollity and reassurance.
Saturn plods by with heavy
tread, while Uranus with its contrasting changes in tempo remains
enigmatic and extrovert. And because Pluto, the most distant planet
had not yet been discovered, it is Neptune, the great unknown, which
is lost in time and space in an endless ostinato of female voices.
Zubin Mehta and the Los Angeles Philharmonic present this astronomical journey with precision and exhilaration, leaving neither time
nor space for astrological speculation. As always, the excellent
Decca recording quality guarantees an unimpeded view of this musical galaxy.

Stevie Ray Vaughan / Couldn’t
Stand The Weather
Vaughan does not ease up
on this set, even taking on
Jimi Hendrix in a rendition of
“Voodoo Chile (Slight
Return)” and handling it
beautifully. Stevie Ray
Vaughan's second album,
Couldn't Stand The Weather,
pretty much did everything a
second album should do: It
confirmed that the acclaimed
debut was no fluke, while
matching, if not bettering, the
sales of its predecessor,
thereby cementing
Vaughan's status as a giant
of modern blues.

John Lee Hooker / It Serve You
Right To Suffer
John Lee Hooker himself
did not know his exact date
of birth. If he hadn't died at
around the age of 80, this
ageless musician would still
be easily pulling the next
generation to his gigs.
Hooker remains a phenomenon, a mysterious figure of
black rhythm and blues, a
charismatic king who reigns
supreme in rock 'n' roll's Hall
of Fame. John W. Peters
described his music as a
synthesis of scorching
emotional ardor, unrelenting
rhythmic intensity, and
original poetry of a highly
personal character. Anyone
hearing him for the first time may well be startled at the unfiltered
passion and power of his music.
And another surprise is in store for those who compare Hooker's
late recordings with those made in the Sixties. His unmistakable, raw
voice has fully matured, but his style of singing appears markedly
finer and more flexible. And then there is the perfect gem of a rhythm
group whose sinewy sounds fill the grooves with merciless gravitational force. It's enough to make your spine tingle!

Get Back LPs
We’ve found these Get Back LPs to be a bit on the bright side. That’s not to say
that they don’t sound good, just not as good as, say, Analogue Productions,
Speakers Corner or Classic Records reissues. They also don’t cost nearly as much.
In short, we’re trying to provide you with a great variety of titles on vinyl. Originals of
these Veejay and Sun records are very tough to find, and usually they’re in
horrendous condition. Here’s a chance to enjoy some legendary music on 180gram vinyl. This is a similar situation to the Simply Vinyl catalog. We won’t offer
these LPs our utmost recommendation, but they are very worthy reissues.

Sonny Rollins / The Bridge
Rollins makes a shattering
return from sabbatical. He's
jointed by the youthful Jim
Hall, who makes a great partner. Symbolism and reality
are often interfused. So it is
with the title of this album, for
it has many meanings in the
life of Sonny Rollins. They
range from the symbolic to
the total reality of one specific
bridge, a 1,600-foot span
over the East River connecting the New York boroughs of
Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Musically, the album is a
bridge between the Sonny
Rollins who rose quickly to a
position of top rank among
the saxophonist of the postbop era of modern jazz development in the 50s, and the Sonny
Rollins-to-be of the 60s. This is no idle puffing-up of this album's significance, for it bridges a very real gap — over two years during
which Sonny stopped appearing in public in order to study, try out
ideas, and take the time to think about himself, his music, and the
environment in which he played and lived. This album is not only of
historic moment, but also a superlative example of why the many gifts
of Sonny Rollins — his firm roots, present accomplishment, and concentration on the future — are his strongest musical characteristics.
Thus this album is not only a bright bridge from Sonny’s past to the
present, but a certain promise for the future as well.

Originally recorded at the
Cass Technical High School
Auditorium in Detroit, this
exceptional mixture of French
composition was recorded
using a three-microphone rig
to 35mm magnetic film.
Using a film medium was an
extremely expensive procedure but the technical advantages, including no hiss, truer
transient response, no flutter
plus extremely accurate
delineation of the timbre of
the instruments was worth it.
Another 10+ recording transferred by Grundman and
Cozart-Fine for Classic
Records.

John Coltrane / The Heavyweight
Champion
John Coltrane is, by universal
acclaim, one of the half-dozen
or so most important artists in
the history of jazz. Original
Atlantic producer Joel Dorn
supervised this reissue from
the earliest generation masters
Coltrane recorded during his
1959-1961 stint with the label.
In the process, he discovered
an entire reel of tape from
John's first Atlantic solo sessions. This unissued material,
including revealing takes of
such classics as "Giant Steps"
and "Naima," makes up an
entire album. The deluxe booklet features notes by Coltrane,
biographer Louis Porter, plus
testimonials from such contemporaries as Yusef Lateef and Charles
Lloyd and a rare interview with "Cousin Mary" Alexander, offering a
personal view of jazz's true Heavyweight Champion. Album sleeves
reproduced from original art, plus a lavish 44-page booklet that
includes rare interviews and never-before-published photographs!
Such greats as Milt Jackson, Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, McCoy
Tyner, Alvin Jones, Eric Dolphy and others can be heard playing in
support on Heavyweight Champion! LPs include Giant Steps, Coltrane
Jazz, My Favorite Things, Bags & Trane, Ole Coltrane, Coltrane Plays
The Blues, Coltrane's Sound, The Avant-Garde (with Don Cherry), The
Coltrane Legacy, and Alternate Takes.

Archie Shepp & Horace Parlan /
Goin’ Home
When the album by this unlikely
duet of Shepp and Parlan playing hymns and spirituals came
out in 1978 for the first time, it
was an instant success and
has become a classic since
then. It is a success of unique
theme (by the producer Nils
Winther) and of sheer strength
of musical material and of
performance executed with
grace and sensitivity.

Mobile Fidelity LPs Gold CDs
23 years as one of the world's leading audiophile software companies,
A fter
Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab closed its doors in November 1999.
Forced into sudden bankruptcy as a result of changes in the American
music retail scene (consolidation of smaller accounts into large
conglomerates, uncollectable receivables due to retail bankruptcies and the
shift of music purchases to internet companies) MFSL ended its history of
making some of the world's finest audiophile reissues.
Acoustic Sounds, Inc. continued to sell MFSL titles at our regular retail
price for
3 1⁄2 months after MFSL closed its doors. Since MFSL's loyal customers
found out the bad news, we have sold more MFSL products than ever and
have sold out of a lot of titles. Since then, we have reevaluated our
inventory and have priced our stock accordingly.
You will notice on some of the titles we have lowered the price and some
have been increased. This is due to "supply and demand." Please take note that
prices can change without notice, and we recommend that you order now to
get the items you want.
No more copies of the following items
* = Acoustic Sounds
will ever be made. And the prices on the
RECOMMENDED
collector's market will only continue to
rise.
Gerry Mulligan Meets
Ben Webster *
Gerry Mulligan, baritone sax; Ben
Webster, tenor sax; Jimmy Rowles,
piano; Leroy Vinnegar, bass; Mel
Lewis, drums. Recorded in 1959,

his soulful, melodic tenor counterpart. From the Verve catalog.

Pulse — Works for
Percussion and Strings/
The New Music Consort
Debussy: LaBoite/A Joujoux/Ansermet/OSR
This is considered the quintessential impressionistic
performance. It is the type of score that brings out Ansermet’s
strengths as a conductor. This is not a record for those who revel
in loud sounds to test their bass reflex woofer horns. It is the
type of subtle and delicate music that is perfect for a quiet
night. It’s an enchanting story about adventures in a
children’s toy box that has a miniature flavor to it. The witty
score good-naturedly satirizes several folk tunes including a
wisp of Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” in the final
scene. The performance and recording is one for
all ages. Recorded in May, 1957. James Walker,
producer; Roy Wallace, engineer.
CD = CLONG 6079 (London)
This collection of American
contemporary percussion music
features the superb Third Construction by John Cage on its
opening cut. This title has been a
long standing item on the editor’s
list of The Absolute Sound magazine and a few seconds listening to
this track will soon reveal why. This album is an audiophile
MUST-OWN, and it is probably one of the BEST system demo
discs available today. This is audiophile “creme de la creme.”

Christmas Holidays at Radio City Music Hall
Christmas and Radio City Music Hall go hand in hand
in the minds of millions of Americans. The famous
annual show attracts visitors from all over the world, and
as many as a million people have come during a
Christmas season to see the Yuletide program. Some,
indeed, have written for reserved seat tickets as much as a
year in advance. For Christmas is the time of year when
the Music Hall’s vast public knows that it will see one of
the most important motion pictures of the season on its
seventy-foot wide screen and a two-fold show of
spectacular dimensions on its block-wide stage.

Sonny Rollins & Co.
— Now’s The Time!
What phrase could more clearly, or
more concisely and with greater impact,
convey the sense of currency and urgency that
has always pervaded modern jazz? All the
compositions in this album qualify as modern jazz standards.
Five of the composers — Parker, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie,
Miles Davis and John Lewis — are among the best of the earliest
instrumentalist-writers of this movement. This Rollins recording is a rare treat,
for never before has he performed on records with such a carefully-balanced
program of modern jazz classics.
CD = CLSPG 2927 (RCA Living Stereo)
Classic London collection of Spanish
folk inspired music. Rimsky-Korsakov’s

Myra Taylor / My Night To Dream
Acoustic Sounds
She’s BACK – and in a
major way. Critics have
hailed Myra Taylor, fresh on
the scene from a nearly-50year recording and
performing hiatus, as not
only Comeback Artist of the
Year, but also Female Blues
Artist of the Year. The
accolades came with the
August 2002 issue of Living
Blues and the annual Critics
Awards. Myra bested stars
Etta James, Shemekia
Copeland, Francine Reed
and Alberta Adams for top
blueswoman. What’s more,
Myra’s name didn’t even
make the ballot for
Comeback Artist of the Year. Still, she scored enough write-in votes
to tie with R&B giant Ike Turner for that honor. Since her 2001
release of My Night To Dream, Myra’s effectively proven that the
pipes ain’t rusted in everything 86 years old.

Atlantic Records CDs
Not since Billie Holiday has there been a
vocalist who so completely transforms a song
into her own. On It's Like This, eclectic folkie
Rickie Lee Jones envelops standards, showtunes, '70s soul, and even slick jazz-rock,
interpreting them with her familiar childlike,
breathy shouts. In a very similar vein as
1991's Pop Pop, Jones pulls together a collection of diverse songs from throughout the
20th century and gives them a sparse, fragile
spin, kind of like Diana Krall and Bjork sharing
coffee at an all-night diner. Produced by Bruce
Brody (who has also worked with Maria
McKee and Bette Midler), this album is really
a showcase for the dynamic vocalist - her
voice pitching and yawing like a sloop far out
at sea. Several notable artists scatter themselves unobtrusively throughout the album like Joe
Jackson, Ben Folds, John Pizzarelli, and Taj Mahal; each lend a subtle bass line or harmony
vocal, cautiously not stepping on any of Jones' delicate lines.

Oscar Peterson Trio /
West Side Story
When Oscar Peterson settled
in at the piano to record the
music from Leonard
Bernstein's score from West
Side Story, his problem was
clear cut: to present a jazz
version of the score without
losing the essence of the
music or the identity of the
trio. As the music on the
record unfolds, it is evident
the trio succeeded. Oscar
Peterson's technique is
simple; he prefers to record
each tune as it will appear on
the record. This album has no
splices, no patchings, no
choruses cut out. It was
recorded as you hear it.
Selections include, “Tonight,” “Maria,” “Jet Song” and more. This is
the Trio making jazz. Listen & enjoy.

Dire Straits / Brothers In Arms
Brothers in Arms brought the
atmospheric, jazz-rock
inclinations of Love Over Gold
into a pop setting, resulting in
a surprise international bestseller. Of course, the success
of Brothers in Arms was
helped considerably by the
clever computer-animated
video for "Money for Nothing"
and a sardonic attack on
MTV. But what kept the record
selling was Knopfler's
increased sense of pop
songcraft. "Money for Nothing"
had an indelible guitar riff,
"Walk of Life" is a catchy
uptempo boogie variation on
"Sultans of Swing," and the
melodies of the bluesy "So Far Away" and downtempo Everly
Brother-style "Why Worry" were wistful and lovely. Dire Straits had
never been so concise or pop-oriented, and it wore well on the
album. Brothers In Arms remains one of the most focused and
accomplished albums and, in its
succinct pop sense, it is distinctive within their catalog.

THIS MUSIC WAS RECORDED USING ONLY VACUUM-TUBE COMPONENTS. As this is the
primary reason the sound is so lush and natural, Doug Sax mastered these recordings from the original
analog tapes using the Mastering Lab's proprietary all-tube electronics until the final digital conversion.
Sax used the latest third-generation Analog-to-DSD converters by Ed Meitner/EMM Labs to transfer the music
to the SACD layer. The CD layer was transferred directly to the Sony PCM 1630 system through a modified
George Massenburg A/D converter. We feel that this approach demonstrates the finest merits of each format.

What is an
SACD?
In short, Super Audio CD is a new format that uses
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) recording
technology and a 4.7 gigabyte disc to greatly
improve the sound of a standard compact disc.
A much higher sampling rate than on a standard
CD gives the SACD a sound much more open, airy
and three-dimensional.
Rock With Me Baby is the comforting
addition to this awesome, down-home blues
artist’s sparsely-documented career. A fire
that cannot be faked or accurately imitated
fuels each note and puts this title in perfect
fit with APO Records' mission of finding "the CD CAPO 2012
$16
real blues." At 80 years young, Hatch is a lit- LP AAPO 2012-45 $30
tle-known legend; little-known, that is, outside of Kansas City, where his
birthday was long ago declared "Little Hatch Day" and where harp up-and-comers
actively pay homage to the master.
Little Hatch, born Provine Hatch, Jr. in 1922 in Sledge, Mississippi, began blowing
the harp obsessively at 8 years old and came under the direct spell of Sonny Boy
Williamson II and Howlin' Wolf when his family moved to Helena, Arkansas in 1935.
Sonny Boy became Hatch's hero, and from there, another sure-fire bluesman was
born. Rock With Me Baby oozes with blues purity and recalls the gritty roots of a
time before blues needed polish to shine. If Hatch's harp is technically imperfect, his
voice is soulfully unmatched. Fans of the real thing will drool, and rockers may at
least understand blues heritage through this release.
Jimmy D. Lane and Ron Edwards accompany Hatch on guitars. The trio lays down
13 tracks of exquisite traditional blues that's a treat to both ears and soul. Lane is of
course son of blues legend Jimmy Rogers, and he's a fast-rising star in his own right
with two great releases on the APO label and a third soon to come. Edwards has
been playing sweet-sounding slide guitar for more than 30 years, having been
tutored by such slide luminaries as Houston Stackhouse and J.B. Hutto. His regular
gig for 15 years now has been as accompanist to St. Louis bluesman and APO
recording artist Henry Townsend.
Rock With Me Baby, Hatch's second APO release, is surely his best
album to date. Let's hope it pulls
a deserving bluesman from
relative anonymity.

Nancy Bryan / Neon Angel
Bryan's honesty in her
approach to songwriting has
created a stylization that
defies category. Neon Angel
is a unique and personal
body of work. In it, her lyrics
are visual and socially relevant, yet intimate, poetic and
immediate. Her music ranges
from the ethereal to a plaintive earthiness, and at times
both expressions are
grasped in the same
moment. This recording is as
classic and as powerful as
Joni Mitchell's legendary
Blue.
The setting for Nancy's
songs is specific, yet timeless. “Blame It On The Moon”
is a Southern swamplife spiritual sung against an undulating bass
line. “Pulse and Time” is as light as whipped cream in the confluence
of dobro, ukulele and D-tuned acoustic guitar. And you can almost
see the cold blue November sky behind a silhouette of skyscrapers
in the melancholy “Chicago Skyline” and feel the singer's loneliness
as her soaring vocals cry out for an irredeemable past.
Neon Angel was recorded live, direct-to-two-track at Blue Heaven
Studios, the converted 77-year-old church in Salina, Kansas. This 13song, all-acoustic album emphasizes the church's natural acoustics,
bringing to life the massive, vaulted ceiling and Nancy on the altar.
Though this is only her second solo release, Nancy has won
acclaim for several songs she's written and sung for Disney, including
a track for the Grammy-nominated and now-gold record Take My
Hand. Her songs have also appeared on MTV's popular shows The
Real World and Road Rules.
Every track on this record is naked and essential and is an equally
integral part of a brilliant mosaic.

Clark Terry & Max Roach /
Friendship
Clark Terry (trumpet), born
1920 and Max Roach
(drums), born 1924 have
been cultivating the music
scene since the '40s. This
album is a remarkable
monument of their careers as
musicians. The title not only
refers to the relationship
between Clark and Max but
is also a dedication to all the
musicians they have
collaborated with during their
remarkable careers. The
tunes include duos with Terry
and Roach as well as solos
by each jazz legend and
then a couple songs with
Don Friedman (piano) and
Marcus McLaurine (bass). Clark Terry has contributed to many
famous big bands and gained a strong reputation as the
trumpet player of the world. As if in homage to those days, he plays
both mute trumpet and flugelhorn on "To Basie With Love," switching
each instrument at once. This album surely is another precious
treasure for the history of jazz. Recorded by David Baker.

TOP PICK
Bennie Wallace / Moodsville
This latest album from tenor
saxophonist Bennie Wallace is
one of his finest and
most-lyrical sessions to date.
Recorded direct-to-two-track at
Systems 2 in New York in May,
the session features some of
the hottest jazz musicians
working in the US, including
Mulgrew Miller (piano), Peter
Washington (bass) and Lewis
Nash (drums). The sound and
feel of the album are very close
to that of the great Moodsville
and Prestige recordings of the
Fifties and Sixties, featuring
artists like Gene Ammons.

Jeff Beck / Blow by Blow
When Jeff Beck announced that
he was working on an all-instrumental album, few but his
legion of guitar fans could have
predicted the far-reaching
impact of this pivotal jazz-rock
fusion album. Teamed with the
Beatles' ex-producer George
Martin, Beck singlehandedly
created a new subtext for rock
& roll. With his virtuosity and
taste at an all-time peak, Beck
let loose with such unforgettable tracks as the Roy
Buchanan-inspired "Cause
We've Ended as Lovers" and
the percolating "Freeway Jam."
This is one of rock's great
instrumental works.

Stevie Ray Vaughan /
Couldn’t Stand The Weather
Vaughan does not ease up
on this set, even taking on
Jimi Hendrix in a rendition of
"Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)"
and handling it beautifully.
Stevie Ray Vaughan's second
album, Couldn't Stand The
Weather, pretty much did
everything a second album
should do: It confirmed that
the acclaimed debut was no
fluke, while matching, if not
bettering, the sales of its
predecessor, thereby
cementing Vaughan's status
as a giant of modern blues.

James Taylor / Hourglass
James Taylor stopped
pushing himself into new
musical and lyrical territories
in the late '70s, so it doesn't
come as a great surprise that
Hourglass, his first studio
album in six years, doesn't
offer anything new — it's a
collection of pleasant,
melodic, simple songs about
love, family and social
activism. That's not
necessarily a bad thing,
since Taylor has a gift for
such material, and on
Hourglass, he sounds as
good as ever. The music, in
many ways, has greater
depth than previous records,
since it features cameos from
such heavy hitters as Stevie Wonder, Yo-Yo Ma, Shawn Colvin,
Michael Brecker, Mark O'Connor and Branford Marsalis.

Ella Fitzgerald Sings
The George And Ira
Gershwin Songbooks
You can’t go wrong with a Gershwin tune! How often this statement was
heard at Ella Fitzgerald’s concerts, regardless of whether she performed with
a big band, in a duet with Joe Pass, or at the Jazz at the Philharmonic jam
sessions. One thing’s absolutely certain: everyone — all the musicians and
every single member of the audience knew the song.
The virtually impossible task of picking out the very best of the
thousands of musical numbers and dashed-off compositions by George and
Ira Gershwin was taken on by producer Norman Granz. The arranger and
orchestra leader Nelson Riddle took more than a year to free the chosen
titles from their touch of Broadway and treat them to a touch of jazz instead.
And Ella herself had six months to set the works down in the studio to her
complete satisfaction. All in all, this was a gigantic project, and one which
could only be afforded by a large company such as Verve.
All these songs have been performed dozens, even hundreds of times, by
a myriad of American entertainers. Almost all of them have been sung or
played numerous times in greatly varying arrangements by jazz vocalists
and instrumentalists — avant-garde, conventional — you name it. There
isn’t, and there never will be, a “definitive” version, but one thing is sure: in
her Gershwin Songbook, Ella Fitzgerald has given us a whole series of
absolutely first-class interpretations — and all the songs are complemented
by their appropriate introduction in the complete version.
The Gershwin brothers turned their hand to the broad spectrum ranging
from the Broadway musical to swinging jazz, and in doing so offered Ella a
welcome opportunity to present her remarkably versatile vocal talent in
songs with diverse styles. Ella surpasses herself in such numbers as “The
Man I Love,” “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off” and “They Can’t Take That
Away From Me.” Standards such as “Embraceable You” and “A Foggy
Day” are absolutely the tops. “Slap That Bass” and “Who Cares” are pure
jazz numbers and demonstrate the Gershwin
brothers’ affinity with jazz.

Noah Wotherspoon & The Stratocats — Buzz
Me
For now, Noah Wotherspoon is just one more in the
massive pack of today’s young, hotshot blues guitarists. The
baby-faced prodigies, paced by the likes of Jonny Lang, have
a huge share in today’s blues market — so much so that
lumping together all such usually-white kids becomes easy
and somewhat necessary. Don’t make that mistake with
Wotherspoon, the 20-year-old bluesman from Dayton, Ohio.
His debut release, Buzz Me, will make fans and guitar slingers
alike THINK. Wotherspoon may be jumping an alreadysteady-rolling train, but he may just be the best one yet to
ride.
And as Jimi Hendrix guru John McDermott noted in the
liners for Buzz Me, “A litany of musical influences is evident
throughout the record. Wotherspoon’s admiration for Stevie
Ray Vaughan is clear, just as a healthy measure of country
and western can also be heard.” Seven of the 11 tracks on
Buzz Me were penned by Noah or his Stratocat mates Josh
Johnson (drums) and Marty Romie (bass).

Willie Dixon once told Wild Child Butler: "You are the moan
of the suffering woman, the groan of the dying man. You ain’t
nothing but the blues."
Here’s a man who’s been heavily praised by Dixon, Muddy
Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Jimmy Rogers just to name a few; a
man who those blues legends were proud to accompany.
As traditional as the blues on this album are, there’s no mistaking a Wild Child tune. They can’t be played this way by anyone
else — not so boisterous, not so Wild Child. His blues sometimes
sound angry and raw, other times soft and country-polished.
This release offers a fine mix of Wild Child’s down-home
acoustic sound, his slow, muscular blues and his up-tempo shuffle
or "snapping blues."
As Wild Child himself said, "If you can’t dig these blues,
you got a hole in your soul (to borrow
from a Jimmy Rogers saying). Talkin’
‘bout sho’ ‘nuff."

Grateful Dead / American Beauty
A companion piece to the
luminous Workingman's Dead,
American Beauty is an even
stronger document of the
Grateful Dead's return to their
musical roots. Sporting a
more full-bodied and intricate
sound than its predecessor
thanks to the addition of
subtle electric textures, the
record is also more
representative of the group
as a collective unit, allowing
for stunning contributions
from Dave Torbert (the
poignant opener "Box of
Rain") and Bob Weir ("Sugar
Magnolia"); at the top of his
game as well is Jerry Garcia,
who delivers the superb
"Friend of the Devil," "Candyman" and "Ripple." Climaxing with the
perennial "Truckin'," American Beauty remains the Dead's studio masterpiece — never again would they be so musically focused or so
emotionally direct.

Ben Webster
Meets Oscar Peterson
Here is one of the classic pairings in jazz. There are no
arrangements to speak of — an 8-bar intro is fancy stuff here
— the better to let Ben Webster, he of the breathy, cavernous
sound, blow a program of timeless songs. Pianist Oscar
Peterson is the perfect foil. His effortless swing setting up
the tenor saxophonist just the way he liked it. A master class
in tenor saxophone ballads. Musicians include Ray Brown on
bass and Ed Thigpen on drums.
This record is in the same league as the classic Ben
Webster’s Soulville. Mastered at AcousTech exclusively for
Acoustic Sounds!

Neil Young / Harvest
"Neil Young's most popular
album, Harvest employs a number of jarringly different styles.
Much of it is country-tinged,
although there is also an
acoustic track, a couple of electric guitar-drenched rock performances, and two songs on
which Young is accompanied by
the London Symphony
Orchestra. But the album does
have an overall mood and an
overall lyric content, and they
conflict with each other: the
mood is melancholic, but the
songs mostly describe the longing for and fulfillment of new
love. Young's concerns are perhaps most explicit on the controversial 'A Man Needs a Maid', which contrasts the fears of committing
to a relationship with simply living alone and hiring help. Over and over,
he sings of the need for love in such songs as 'Out on the Weekend,'
'Heart of Gold,' and 'Old Man.' The songs are unusually melodic and
accessible. The rock numbers 'Are You Ready for the Country' and
'Alabama' are in Young's familiar style and unremarkable, and 'There's a
World' and 'Words (Between the Lines of Age)' are ponderous and
overdone. But the love songs and the harrowing portrait of a friend's
descent into heroin addiction, 'The Needle and the Damage Done,'
remain among Young's most affecting and memorable songs."

Ben Webster
Quintet – Soulville
Ben Webster, wrote the jazz
historian J.E. Behrend, "was
two men in one: in fast pieces
he was a musician with a
throaty, croaking vibrato, while
in slow ones he was a master of
erotic and intensive ballads."
In this compilation of both his own works and standard numbers
with the promising title of Soulville, "Big Ben" shows the gentle and
the rougher sides of his nature. After starting off with two bluesy
originals — the slow burning title track and the gutsy “Late Date” —
Webster gets to the heart of things on five wistful ballads. In the
classic hits "Lover Come Back To Me" and "Makin' Whoopee," the
very heartbeat of the Age of Swing can be easily discerned. And it's
well worth taking a look at the small print on the cover. Joining the
prominent members of the Oscar Peterson trio are Herb Ellis and Stan
Levey. It's hardly necessary to add that the sound reproduction on this
Verve recording made in the 1950s is of the very highest quality.

The New TNT-HR-X
VPI’s 25th Anniversary
Reference Turntable
WORLD PREMIERE
The culmination of a quarter of a century of turntable engineering and manufacturing
by one of the most respected names in the world of audio is VPI’s new TNT-HR-X 25th
anniversary Reference Turntable. Incorporating several refinements that blur the line
between master tape and the LP, the new TNT-HR-X is stunning in both sound and
industrial design. Built on a composite, triple-laminated acrylic and aluminum chassis, a
new inverted bearing with a Teflon thrust plate was chosen for its frictionless performance
and immunity to wear. A radical outer-periphery record clamp flattens the LP to the
acrylic platter without the complexity and problems associated with vacuum systems.
Designed for ultimate analog LP playback, the TNT HR-X
incorporates an integrated dual motor drive and flywheel
to allow a footprint of only 25” by 19”. And the chassis’ air
suspension will reject 98% of acoustic feedback in real world
conditions without additional and elaborate isolation platforms.
A celebration of the art of analog, the TNT HR-X comes
complete with a JMW-12.5 tonearm and SDS Synchronous
Drive System.

back to the

High-End designer
Ron Sutherland
competes with the
majors at a fraction
of their cost.
By Marc Sheforgen
Just as over-thinking a dance
step spells certain clumsiness for a
wannabe smooth operator, so apply the
same principles to high-end audio
design, says Ron Sutherland. In each
case, the beauty lies in the simplicity.
Break that graceful glide of the tango, and
its passion and energy are left limp.
Violate the basic principles of amplifying
sound, and Sutherland says an audio
design becomes as good as two left feet.
By bringing the concepts of his favorite
hobby, ballroom dancing, to his profession
of some 30 years, audio component design,
Sutherland's created products with style
and pizzazz that cost nowhere near those of
similar performance. Stereophile awarded
his AcousTech PH-1 phono preamp the
highest Class A rating in the magazine’s
October 2002 issue. The other phono stages
rated Class A cost an average of $7,964
more than the $1,500 AcousTech. Why?
"I don't like just throwing technology
and gee whiz at a problem because it
generally leads to a hodgepodge of patches.
I think it's always better to back away and
redefine the problem until an elegant
solution is revealed," said Sutherland, who
designs products for distribution through
Acoustic Sounds. "We don’t blow a lot of
money on the fancy frills hoping and
praying for imagined performance. It’s
proven so much more effective to
pursue performance by applying solid
engineering concepts with top-quality
parts. With so much of this so-called
108
I
high-end audio
high-end, tinkers take the same old
circuits and then they start tossing in
weird/exotic components."
Sutherland has evolved the PH-1 over
the years to create the latest version, the
PH-1 Premium, which includes gold-plated
circuitry and hand-matched parts. But his
concept has remained the same. "I was
taken by the challenge of a lot of bang for
the buck. I wanted to make a no-nonsense
work horse that would be rugged and that
people could afford," he said.
And so while the PH-1 does use designer
components good enough for space travel
or life-support systems, it doesn’t use the
cost-no-object parts Sutherland says are
unnecessarily prevalent in high-end audio
gear. For example, Sutherland was taken
by the common challenge of keeping a
dielectric or insulator from coloring the
sound of his phono stage. But as he looked
for a way to get the circuit board out of the
signal path, he avoided what he says is a
common design pitfall by resisting the
solution of using exotic and expensive
methods like Teflon boards. Instead,
Sutherland, who has a bachelor’s degree in
physics and a master’s degree in electronic
engineering, addressed the fundamentals
and solved the problem by building the
board thicker and the tracers narrower.
"You have to define the problem correctly,"
Sutherland said. "If the problem is finding
the most high-tech dielectric, well then
Teflon…but that’s not the issue. The issue
is minimizing that effect on the sound. And
you can do that by minimizing the
capacitance through distance and spacing.
That’s how small companies can compete
with the big ones. To me, the biggest
satisfaction is to solve a problem in the
most simple and elegant way possible."
The Ph.D.
Never has that idea been more prevalent
than with Sutherland’s latest design, the
Ph.D. Addressing the issue of eliminating
the inherent noise created by an AC power
line, Sutherland has built a batterypowered phono stage with smart circuitry
that allows the preamp to turn on and off
automatically. The unit doesn’t even have a
power cord. Instead, 16 alkaline D cell
batteries line the sides of the chassis. After
about 800 hours of playing time (roughly
half the life of a cartridge), a red light will
indicate that your batteries are running
low. "Go to Wal-Mart, and you can find ‘em
for a buck a piece," Sutherland said. "For
$16, you’ve got a new power supply."
The Ph.D. turns on the moment your
stylus is stimulated. From there, the unit
automatically looks for a signal every halfhour for just a fraction of a second. If it
doesn’t find a signal, it will stay on for an
additional half-hour with a yellow light
indicating that it is preparing to turn off.
Sutherland said that the automatic on/off
capability enhances the attraction of
having a battery-powered unit. "With a
power switch, you’re eventually going to
forget to turn it off, and the batteries are
going to run down faster," Sutherland said.
"Then you’re looking at batteries as an
inconvenience rather than as the musical
advantage that they are."
Additionally, the Ph.D. has four different
loading options and gain-stage settings
that are simple for the consumer to adjust.
Regarding the sound of the Ph.D., the
only available review at the time of this
publication was outstanding. John Blando,
who is the president of Electronic
Marketing Associates, a high-end audio
representative for lines like Mirage and
Yamaha Electronics, compared the $3,000
Ph.D. to several phono stages available in
the $2,500 to $6,000 price range. Enlisted
for the comparison was a system that
included a $30,000 pair of speakers and a
$7,000 turntable/cartridge rig. Here were
Blando’s findings:
"This is one of the finest products that
anyone has ever built. I’ve never heard a
product at any price that so performed like
the Ph.D. did. It blew away the other
phono stages in dynamic range, bass
extension, high-frequency extension,
resolution, everything. It outperformed
every unit I put it up against. And it was
so dead quiet. The music just came from
an absolutely black background. The Ph.D.
was so transparent and clean. I don’t know
why anyone would spend more than
$3,000 on a phono stage now that the
Ph.D. is available. Anyone interested in a
phono stage needs to listen to this
product."
A modest Sutherland put the Ph.D. in
more concise terms: "There’s really never
been anything quite like it," he said.
The12dAX7
And the same goes with Sutherland’s
favorite product, the AcousTech 12dAX7
preamp, which brings high-end audio to
the computer. While the 12dAX7
(pronounced 12 DAC 7) seems to be ahead
of its time, Sutherland is convinced that
it’s his most-innovative and possibly mostpractical invention to date.
A few years ago, Sutherland, who lives
in Kansas City, visited his teenaged
nephew in nearby Lawrence, Kansas. "I
saw how much fun he was having with an
MP3 jukebox he had on his hard drive, and
I thought, ‘Man, we’re talking generation
gap here. We’re from different worlds,’"
Sutherland said. "Then I found out about
webcasting and was so impressed with all
of the music available. But it sounded
horrible. I thought, ‘What if this could be
made to sound good? Wouldn’t that just be
so cool?’"
And so Sutherland studied computers
and found that a conventional computer
sound card has absolutely no chance of
producing audiophile sound. "For one
thing," Sutherland said, "they’re in a noisy
computer environment; there’s power

Back To The Basics

supplies interfering, there’s electrical interference, they’re
made with cheap parts. It’s the nastiest environment to try
to make an analog signal." But what computers can do is
kick out numbers. So, Sutherland thought, what if he could
marry those digital numbers with a tube amp? Turns out, he
said, once those numbers got out of that nasty environment,
they could be converted to analog and made to sound quite
good. "It was a big guess," Sutherland said. "But I thought,
‘What if we gave this some audiophile TLC?’ And it worked. I
was so excited about that."
some. So he asked Sutherland to help, and the two began
work in Sanders’ basement. At the time, Sutherland had a
consulting business housed in a machine shop in Lawrence,
so the duo was fortunate to have access to the machinery
they needed to produce the first MartinLogan speakers. The
company name, incidentally, comes from the pair’s middle
names, Gayle MARTIN Sanders and Ron LOGAN
Sutherland. The idea, which was Sanders’, was to save
the last names for future ventures in case this company
didn’t fly.
Still, the $1,600 12dAX7 suffers an identity crisis of sorts.
"It’s in an awkward position," Sutherland said. "It’s too
expensive for a computer gadget, but the people who have
big stereo budgets don’t take the computer as a viable music
source. But you talk about a deal. For $1,600 you’ve got the
front-end of a nice stereo." At16 bits and 44 kHz, the 12dAX7
produces a CD-quality data stream. Couple that with a good
amp, good speakers and cables, and you can make your office
system sound irresistible. "If someone’s got a $50,000 system
at home, why not have a $5,000 system at the office where
you spend all your time?" said Sutherland.
But it did fly of course, and relatively quickly. Sutherland
contributed the technical expertise and Sanders the ear and
business sense. Today’s MartinLogan speakers still feature
many of the design elements Sutherland initially created.
One thing they struggled with in the early days was trying
to figure out spacers and adhesives for the speakers. They
were using plastic strips and gluing them. Sutherland came
up with the simple (oh so Sutherland) idea of using doubleface foam tape that would act as adhesive, spacer and
damping agent all in one. The company still uses it.
Sutherland believes that audio dealers are missing a
major opportunity to hit a younger market. "Dealers are
bitching and moaning about not having the younger
generation coming into the stores and buying audio. Well,
they've got nothing to sell them," he said. "And with this, I
mean they're really missing an opportunity to get that
generation's interest. It's a way to talk high-end audio in a
language they're interested in.
"This is the coolest thing I’ve made, and it’s my favorite
thing. I want to work at making computer audio accessible to
people. That may not be the best business decision, but I
think it's an area that I can make a contribution to. It
appeals to me."
The Birth of MartinLogan
Sutherland’s initial venture into high-end audio design was
as co-creator of MartinLogan, now one of the leading
audiophile speaker manufacturers. Sutherland met Gayle
Sanders at his store, Kief’s Audio in Lawrence, Kansas while
Sutherland was shopping for a new turntable. Sanders had
been researching electrostatic speakers and wanted to build
110
But as MartinLogan took off, Sutherland’s passion
dwindled. "There wasn’t time for other interests,”
Sutherland said. "Once the basic business and technology
was in place, the daily tasks seemed rather routine. So I
went back to consulting work. "
And eventually to Sutherland Engineering. And then to
dancing, his true passion. "I love ballroom dancing. I mean, I
couldn’t walk and chew gum before, but now I can dance,"
Sutherland said. He dances four to five nights a week,
basically designing high-end audio components by day and
dancing by night. And his two main interests are plenty
related, he said. "To me, the design is art because there’s an
aesthetic about it, and there’s an elegance to it. The thing
about dancing is it’s very structured, very cognitive. So there
is that analytical element like with engineering. So when
you’re building a piece of hardware, you’re building a dance.
And you have elements to build that dance from, and you
also have constraints. The constraints can be how much
room you have, what the openings are, what the music is,
how good your partner is and how many steps are available
in your tool kit. There are more parallels to dancing and
design work than might appear."

Bob Marley &
The Wailers
Natty Dread
Bob Marley and Reggae are
synonymous. The gentle Caribbean
sound reached the European
continent at a time when Hard Rock
and Electric Jazz were “in”. But
what did that matter?! This was the
sort of music that everyone wanted
in his record collection – most
important was the name “Bob
Marley” on the cover. The Jamaican
musician’s untimely death shocked his fans and left a gaping hole which has
yet to be filled. But luckily Bob Marley’s legend lives on in his music and
even today his hits still keep popping up in Europe. The key to the group’s
overwhelming international success is found in this album, which was
released in 1974 on the Tuff Gong label. This LP is just as great to listen to
today as it was then. Among all the professionally played and produced
tracks, “No Woman, No Cry” is one of those super-hits which will live on in
our ears and minds forever. Surely there is no better Reggae
recommendation. This is an Acoustic Sounds exclusive.

Introducing the battery-powered
Sutherland Ph.D. Phono Preamp.
Hear the music,
not the noise.
AC power lines create noise.
Period. There’s only one feasible
way around that annoyance.
Batteries.
BINGO!
Designer Ron Sutherland brings
us a new battery-powered phono
stage with smart circuitry that
allows this preamp to turn on and
off automatically, thereby maximizing the life of your batteries.
One of the noisiest components
in your home stereo is the
incoming AC power. Even if it
were delivered
to your home
as idealized
60 Hz sine
wave, it would
not stay that
way long.
The audio
power
amplifier does not draw current
from the power line evenly. There
is a large current spike drawn
when the sine wave reaches its
voltage extremes, while at other
times current draw is essentially
zero. High frequency harmonics
and noise are introduced into the
same power line that’s used for
sensitive phono preamplification.
The Ph.D. doesn’t even have a
power cord. Instead, 16 alkaline D
cell batteries line the sides of the
chassis. After about 800 hours of
playing time (roughly half the life
of a cartridge), a red light will
indicate that your batteries are
running low.

looks for a signal every half-hour
for just a fraction of a second. If it
doesn’t find a signal, it will stay on

preparing to turn off.
What’s more, the Ph.D. has

SMART GUYS SOUND OFF ABOUT THE Ph.D.
"This Sutherland Ph.D. is causing me not only to
rethink what is possible in vinyl playback but what
may be possible in the reproduction of music as a
whole. First, it is absolutely quiet. Put your entire
head in the speaker, nothing, PERIOD! The layers
of information are truly unbelievable. I find it hard
to believe I am hearing details that I have totally
missed before. I was listening to a Joe Satriani LP
(one of my all-time favorites) and I was astounded
at the layer after layer of colors within each wild
lick on his guitar. Absolutely no fatigue. The high
end is limitless. It goes on forever with a sweetness
that is life-like. Patricia Barber — WHOW!!!! Never
have I heard her voice have so many inflections.
And I'm telling you, the music comes from the deadest
background you could imagine. Even the surface
noise is less, yet the information is everywhere.
I drop the stylus into the lead-in groove and wait
patiently for something to tell me I'm listening to
vinyl. On those records that have very clean surfaces,
I hear nothing (read NOTHING) until the music is
present. I am hearing detail, low level detail, that I
don't even find on the same recording on CD. As
someone who has been on the trail of the Holy Grail
for some 30+ years now, I've seldom been taken
aback by a product that truly leaves me in awe like
the Ph.D."
— Mike Oltz has been a consumer and pro audio
representative for more than 30 years, currently
representing lines such as Avalon Acoustics,
AKG, Snell, Lexicon, and Wharfedale/Quad.
"The Ph.D. is stunning, absolutely no noise and very
liquid sounding. Actually it sounds like tubes with
the speed of solid state. Played an old copy of Steve
Lawrence on Coral Records and it blew me away...
I love the battery idea, no plugs, power supplies, or
noise. Tell Ron Sutherland he's a genius. You can
quote me, I mean it."

VPI INDUSTRIES
VPI Turntables are an American Institution. The company has been building
some of the best-sounding tables for over 20 years. Known for their
modular and upgradeable design, VPIs are built to last a lifetime. In fact,
the earliest vintage VPI turntables can be retrofitted with newer parts to
bring them to current spec, and all these mods can be done in your home
with no special tools. We can recommend the biggest “bang-for-the-buck”
turntable/arm combination or upgrade for your existing VPI based on
your system and budget.
VPI SAMA (Stand Alone Motor Assembly) for HW-19 Series
Owners of all HW-19s can now enjoy all the sonic advantages of the TNT separate
motor assembly. By separating the motor from the base, all low level vibration and
noise is further reduced to the vanishing point. Music emerges from a quieter
background and more low-level detail will appear. Differences will be instantly
recognized as significant and musical. Installation is simple and straightforward, and
there is no change in the outward appearance of the turntable.
S VPI SAMA $400.00
HW-19Jr.
The beginning of the journey into High-End analog music reproduction starts with
the HW-19 Jr. The Jr. is VPI's most cost-effective turntable. It combines the drive
system of the MK-III & MK-IV, with an acrylic platter and integral record-clamping
system and MDF subchassis to give real value for the dollar. A great match for the
Rega or Audioquest tonearms. Tonearm not included.
S VPI HW-19JR $650.00
HW-19 MK-III
The HW-19 MK- III is the next logical step in the progression towards realistic
musical reproduction. The upgraded platter, which is manufactured from black
acrylic and incorporates a six-pound lead ring and stainless-steel and acrylic
subchassis translates into more powerful bass, quieter backgrounds and greater
clarity compared to the HW-19Jr. The MK-III is also supplied with a removable
armboard to facilitate easy tonearm changes or upgrades. The HW-19 MK-III is
compatible with virtually all high-quality arms and cartridges. Tonearm not included.
S VPI HW-MK3 $1,250.00
HW-19 MK-IV
For improved bass, imaging, focus, detail and lower noise, the answer is the MK IV.
The MK-IV borrows three critical parts from the state-of-the-art TNT turntable: the
platter, the bearing, and the suspension. The 1.5-inch thick, 20-pound, four-layer,
precision-machined TNT platter has four times more inertia than the MK III platter
and it reduces noise, increases focus in the bass and throws a soundstage far
beyond the boundaries of the loudspeakers. How good is the MK-IV? It was ranked
"Analog Source of the Year" by Stereophile magazine. A synergistic match with the
VPI JMW-10 tonearm, the MK-IV is worthy for inclusion in the finest systems.
Tonearm not included.
S VPI HW-19MK4 $1,850.00
VPI Aries
The Aries is the perfect
choice for those looking for
near-TNT performance in a HW19 sized package. In fact, the parts used
in construction of the Aries were taken directly
from the TNT-MK-V. It utilizes the same lead-filled
aluminum and acrylic platter as well as the TNT’s stand-alone motor mounted in
a 17lb stainless-steel assembly. The Aries performance is very close to that of the
TNT, especially when paired with VPI’s remarkable JMW Series tonearms.
S VPI ARIES
$2,400.00
S ARIES JMW10 $3,700.00 w/ JMW-10 Tonearm
VPI Aries Extended
Designed as a platform for the 12-inch Series of JMW tonearms, the Aries
Extended adds two inches in width to accommodate the longer arms. The arm is
mounted directly to the plinth for added rigidity just like the TNT-V Hot-Rod. The
12-inch arms have even greater transparency and resolution compared to their
10-inch counterparts. The Aries Extended performance can be brought even
closer to the TNT’s with the addition of VPI’s SDS (Synchronous Motor Drive)
and outboard flywheel. Highly Recommended.

VPI TNT HR-X
The culmination of a
quarter of a century of
turntable engineering
and manufacturing by
one of the most respected names in the world
of audio is VPI’s new
TNT-HR-X 25th anniversary Reference
Turntable. Incorporating several refinements that blur the line between master
tape and the LP, the new TNT-HR-X is stunning in both sound and industrial
design. Built on a composite, triple-laminated acrylic and aluminum chassis, a
new inverted bearing with a Teflon thrust plate was chosen for its frictionless
performance and immunity to wear. A radical outer-periphery record clamp
flattens the LP to the acrylic platter without the complexity and problems associated with vacuum systems.
Designed for ultimate analog LP playback, the TNT HR-X incorporates an integrated dual motor drive and flywheel to allow a footprint of only 25” by 19”.
And the chassis’ air suspension will reject 98% of acoustic feedback in real world
conditions without additional and elaborate isolation platforms.
A celebration of the art of analog, the TNT HR-X comes complete with a JMW12.5 tonearm and SDS Synchronous Drive System.

VPI TNT MK-V Hot-Rod
The TNT MK-V is the flagship of VPI's line of
turntables, embodying designer Harry Weisfeld's
latest thoughts on turntable design and
the application of hightech materials to
analog playback. The
Hot-Rod version comes
with a JMW-12.5
tonearm directly
mounted to the TNT
chassis, completely
eliminating the
armboard. The MK-V
Hot-Rod is also
supplied with VPI's
outboard flywheel and the SDS
(Synchronous Drive System.) A truly state-ofthe-art vinyl playback system that rivals much of the more esoteric (and
expensive) competition. For those wanting the ability to change tonearms, the
standard TNT-V is available with a removable armboard but still retains all of the
features of the TNT-5 Hot-Rod. Check out the rave review in the Dec. 2001 issue
of Stereophile magazine.

standard in reference-level
performance at an affordable
price. It includes the just-released
JMW-9 tonearm and the same
isolated motor drive as its larger siblings. All of the VPI hallmarks can be found in
the Scout: smoothness, lack of grain, voluminous soundstage and the ability to
reproduce live ambient space. Benefiting from VPI’s two-decades plus experience
in building turntables, the sonic quality of the Scout/JMW-9 was simply not
possible at this price until now.

JMW-10/ JMW-12 Tonearm
The JMW Memorial tonearm is the culmination of years of research into the
mechanics of tonearm design and is an assault on the state of the art of analog
reproduction at a time of renewed interest in vinyl playback. The machining and
assembly are first rate and easily up to the levels of perfection found in VPI's TNT
series of turntables. The JMW combines the virtues of a true damped unipivot, with
uncompromising dedication to vibration and resonance control using minimalist
design. The resulting arm is extraordinary in its ability to extract information from an
LP's grooves. The soundstage is wide and deep with air and separation between the
instruments. The feeling and solidity of images and top to bottom coherency is
unmatched. The (VTA) vertical tracking angle of the tonearm is adjustable during
play in 0.00035" increments. Due to the low offset angle of the headshell, the JMW
requires no mechanical anti-skating adjustment. The required anti-skating force is
provided by the torsion of the leadout wires. Only the highest quality wiring,
cartridge clips, and Lemo connectors are used for the purest sound possible.
According to Audio magazine's Anthony Cordesman, "The JMW Memorial tonearm
produces some of the tightest and deepest bass I have ever heard from analog." The
Absolute Sound's Harry Pearson gave the JMW Memorial the coveted 5-star rating in
issue 106.
S VPI 10 $1,400.00
S VPI 12 $1,800.00
JMW 10.5 / JMW 12.5 Tonearm
The JMW 10.5 and 12.5 Memorial tonearms begin where the JMW 10 and 12 leave
off. Although they share much of their predecessors' design, including the precision
unipivot, damped stainless steel/aluminum arm tube, and high-quality internal
wiring, the 10.5 and 12.5 incorporate several significant improvements: The newlydesigned counterweight puts more mass below the arm's pivot point for improved
stability. A large setscrew has been placed between the armrest and the arm lift to
greatly improve the arm's rigidity. A damping collar has been added to the arm tube
in order to improve the arm's immunity to vibration. A new, larger VTA tower makes
it even easier to set VTA during play.
Sonically, the JMW 10.5 and 12.5 are a cut above the already impressive 10 and
12. In usual VPI tradition, existing JMW 10 and 12 tonearms may be upgraded to the
10.5 and 12.5 respectively at a reasonable cost.

Phono Cartridges
BENZ MICRO SWITZERLAND
Designed and built by Ernst Benz, these moving-coil cartridges are built
by hand in Switzerland, a country long associated with precision manufacturing. Benz cartridges are extremely musical and emotionally involving, very detailed but still forgiving of less than ideal recordings or LP
pressings. Different outputs are available to suit different system requirements. Package pricing available when purchased with a turntable and
tonearm.
Benz ACE
The least expensive cartridge in the Benz family. Very
smooth sounding with a touch of warmth, its
presentation is never "hyped" or too "analytical." This
cartridge will be a revelation for those upgrading from a
typical moving-magnet design. It is available in Low,
Medium and High output versions.
S BENZ ACE $550.00
Benz Glider-Series 2
Remember when it was all the rage to remove the body
from a moving-coil cartridge? This "tweak" was supposed
to open-up the sound and cut down on resonance. While
there were usually sonic improvements, the modification
was precarious at best. Well, Benz Micro has done the job
for you with their new Glider-Series 2. This open-design is
quick and transparent but still retains the classic Benz
"sound." The Glider will mate well with many different types of tonearms and phono
stages. Available in three different output levels.
S GLIDER $795.00
Benz L2, M2, H2
The least expensive offering in the Benz Micro
"wood-body" series, but less expensive doesn't have to be synonymous with
compromise. This cartridge will give you more than just a taste of high-end sound. In
fact, it is good enough to complement the world's finest turntables. Using the same
construction techniques as the Ruby and Ref, it will delight the most critical listener
with its involving and musical presentation.
S L2 $1,295.00
Benz Reference 2 Silver
The little brother to the incomparable Ruby Series, the Ref-2 has much to live up to.
Available in only one output level (.3mv) and using an iron pole-piece, it lacks a bit of
the transparency of its more expensive sibling but retains many of the attributes at 2/3
the price.
S REF2 $2,000.00
Benz Ruby 2/Ruby H
Low and medium output versions of the same cartridge.
Using a non-magnetic, ruby pole for the coil windings, it
resides in that rarified class of those items that can truly be
called "the best." A warmer tonal balance compared to
most other moving coils but still very quick and lively. This
cartridge has a midrange presence and immediacy that has
to be experienced first hand.
S RUBY 2 $3,000.00
S RUBY H $3,000.00
Benz Aesthetix ABCD-1 MC Cartridge Demagnetizer

S AURUM BETA $350.00
S AURUM BETA S $450.00
Virtuoso Wood
The latest addition to the Clearaudio moving-magnet lineup,
the Virtuoso has many of the virtues of the moving-coil series with a healthy
3.6mv that is compatible with standard phono-stages.
S VIRT W $750.00
Sigma Wood
Using the same body as the Insider Reference, it was the first "wood-body"
Clearaudio. A slightly richer balance compared to the
Victory, its lower weight may match better with low to
medium mass tonearms.
.6mv output, 4.5 gram weight.
S SIGMA $1,200.00
Victory
A new, more-affordable Clearaudio that uses some of the
refinements first seen
in the Discovery. The specially-machined and hand-crafted body is made from
MgAISi alloy. This special material is low in mass but its extremely hard surface
and other mechanical properties make it ideal for a high-resolution phonocartridge. .6mv output, 8 gram weight. Highly Recommended.
S VICTORY $1,500.00
Signature
Using a rhodium-plated lead-alloy body it is a very detailed and refined
performer. All the Clearaudio hallmarks are present: transparency, frequency
extension, speed and top-class detail retrieval. .5mv output, 12 gram weight.
S SIGNATURE $2,500.00
Discovery
This cartridge had proved to be one of the best sounding in
the entire Clearaudio line. Using a modified magnesium alloy
body, which gives it a look slightly different from other
Clearaudios, its sound is actually closer in balance to the
Insider Reference than it is to its other siblings. Its .5mv
output and 8 gram weight makes it compatible with most
high-quality phono stages and tonearms.
S DISCOVERY
$3,300.00
Insider Gold
A gold-plated lead-alloy body with many of the refinements
of the Reference. Its heavier weight of 12 grams may match
better with certain tonearms. Still at top echelon of
performance, and its sound redefines what is possible in a
high-end cartridge. .6mv output, 12 gram weight.
S INSIDER G $7,600.00
Insider Reference Wood
The "top dog" of phono cartridges, the Insider Reference Wood is considered by
many to be THE BEST available. A bit richer balanced than less expensive
Clearaudios, it extracts information from the record groove that was previously
thought not to exist. Very fast without seeming so and a voluminous soundstage
with incomparable instrumental textures. It requires a reference level turntable
and arm and the equipment downstream should be of commensurate quality.
.7mv output, 4.5 gram weight .
S INSIDER REF $10,500.00
GRADO
Phono Cartridges
Grado, one of the oldest familyowned companies in the audio business, has for almost half a century
been the leader in design engineering
for the high-end audio and recording
industries. Grado is famous for their
remarkable headphone and phono
cartridge designs and holds over 48

cartridge model is developed by Yoshinori Mishima who is also involved
in the assembly and tuning process of each and every sample.
Platinum
Helikon
The entry-level model of the "wood-bodied" line-up is
warm and sweet and is a great enhancement for
those looking to improve the sound of their systems.
This cartridge will work on a wide variety of tables
and arms and is also available in the .5mv and 4.0mv
outputs.
S PLAT $300.00
The Helikon has received unanimous accolades from every reviewer who has had
the pleasure of an audition. It is Stereophile "Class A Rated" and was "Editors Choice
of The Year" by H.P. of The Absolute Sound. It also
received "Analog Product of The Year" from Roy
Gregory's HiFI+ magazine. It has the speed and
accuracy of some of the more "analytical" designs
coupled with the warmth and musicality that
make listening to vinyl so rewarding. The Helikon
can be considered a true classic. Its .4mv output is
compatible with most moving-coil phono stages.
S HELIKON $1,995.00
Sonata
A true upgrade over the "Platinum," its ability to resolve complex musical
passages in a relaxed fashion and with more apparent detail will appeal to the
discriminating listener. Rated a "Best Buy" by Stereophile magazine. Available in
.5mv or 4.0mv outputs.
S SON $500.00
Master
Using the same five-piece cantilever as the "Reference" but with an elliptical stylus
that has a 5% lower tip-mass than the Sonata and Platinum models. This
translates into moving-coil like transient reproduction and detail retrieval. Specify
.5mv or 4.0 mv output.
S MAST $800.00
The Reference
The top of the Reference line uses an exotic five-piece cantilever design and a
true ellipsoid diamond stylus. The entire assembly is painstakingly assembled and
tuned to one resonance point. The end result is one of the finest-sounding
cartridges available of any type. Available in .5mv and 4.0mv outputs.
S REF $1,200.00
The Statement
The best Grado ever built and one of the world’s finest sounding cartridges, with
all of the Grado hallmarks but taken to the "Ultimate" level. Lightning fast
transients and moving-coil-like high frequency extension coupled with full but
agile bass and incomparable weight and body make this cartridge something
special. Its ability to flesh out instrumental texture and detail is up there with the
very best cartridges costing many times more than The Statement, in all a
remarkable achievement. Available only in a .5mv output level.
S STATE $2,500.00
SHURE
Shure V15VxMR (3.0 mV output)
The V15VxMR is one of the best performing cartridges in its respective price
range. It reproduces powerful musical passages so that they envelop the room
with clean high levels while not causing listening fatigue. The V15VxMR has a
high degree of detail, warmth and musicality while
still retaining an essentially neutral character. This
latest version of the Shure V15 is by far the best
ever and it can truly be called a classic. Its

LYRA
Helikon Mono
The Lyra Helikon Mono is a low-impedance moving-coil cartridge that has been
designed specifically to play monaural LP records in the highest fidelity possible.
Much great music is available only as monaural recordings, and these outstanding
performances are clearly deserving of top-quality playback. On mono records, the
vertical axis of the groove contains no musical information, but it will frequently
have noise in the form of groove damage and dirt. The Helikon Mono has
therefore been designed to be completely insensitive to the vertical axis, which
works wonders for the signal/noise ratio without causing any problems.
S HELIKON MONO $2,195.00
Helikon SL
The Helikon SL is a special low-output version of the regular Lyra Helikon. It is
exclusively intended for use with phono preamplifiers with particularly high gain
and low noise. It shares the standard Helikon's neutral tonal balance but
significantly improves on those virtues in the areas of low-level resolution, image
size, focus and soundstage width and depth. It should only be chosen over the
regular Helikon when it is absolutely sure the phono amp will be capable of
handling its low output with satisfactory S/N ratio and resolution.
S HELIKON SL $2,195.00
ORTOFON
The new Ortofon Kontrapunkt Series draws on Ortofon’s 80 years of
experience in building phono cartridges. No expense has been spared
from the 6-Nines pure silver coil wires to the non-resonant stainless steel
bodies. In tandem with the world’s finest turntables and tonearms, the
Ortofon Kontrapunkts will make beautiful music.
Kontrapunkt a
The Kontrapunkt “a” features a Nude Fine Line stylus
mounted on an aluminum cantilever. And its .45mv
output is compatible with most of the popular phono
stages. The “a” produces great space and depth with a
relaxed yet dynamic sound.
S ORKA $600.00
Kontrapunkt b
Though sharing the same basic design as the model “a,”
the Kontrapunkt “b” has a super polished Nude FG-80
stylus mounted on a special ruby cantilever, for even more
refined performance. Dynamic swings are presented on a
grand scale and the immediacy and transparency will rival
cartridges costing many times more.

Audio Cables
AUDIOQUEST Interconnects
Bill Low formed AudioQuest over 20 years ago
with the philosophy that the best cable is “no
cable.” Since this is, of course, impossible, he
has strived to build cables that do the least
harm. So instead of his wires acting as “tonecontrols,” they are designed to transmit the
electrical signal with the lowest-possible distortion and coloration. Through the use of hightech metals and great attention to detail in
every step of the manufacturing process,
AudioQuest cables consistently outperform other
brands in their respective price points.
Diamondback
The use of sophisticated design
techniques, superior materials
and an exceptional termination
system combine to make
Diamondback interconnects
possible. Proprietary metalprocessing technology protects
the wire's surface at every stage
of drawing and fabrication. The
Diamondback's plugs are
resistance welded to the cable
creating a single material alloy
where the two meet. The goldplated RCA plugs use a patented design that eliminates distortion caused by the
extra contact inside most plugs. The Diamondback’s sound is clean, clear and
dynamic. Call for prices on additional lengths.
S AQ DIAM (1-Meter Pair)
$95.00
Coral
Copperhead
PSC Solid conductors are
fundamental toward achieving
the Copperhead interconnects
very clean sound. Precision goldplated plugs are carefully
attached with the very best
solder. A combination of these
major ingredients and many
more subtle details add up to
explain how an affordable cable
like the Copperhead can sound
so exceptional. Call for prices on
additional lengths.
S AQ COP (1-Meter Pair)
$59.00
S AQ CORAL (1-Meter Pair)
Whether used with single-ended
RCA plugs or balanced XLR, the
Coral interconnects open and
natural sound is obvious. All of
the conductors use air-filled FPE
(Foam Polyethylene), which
decreases the out-of-focus effect
common to other materials. The
silver-plated plugs provide the
best-possible connection and are
resistance welded to the cable
creating a single material alloy
where the two meet. The Coral's
sound is wonderfully clean, clear
and dynamic. Call for prices on
additional lengths.
$139.00
AUDIOQUEST Speaker cable
AQ Type-4 Speaker Cable
By using solid-core conductors and SST (Spread Spectrum Technology), the AQ
Type-4 Speaker Cable minimizes the electrical and magnetic interaction between
strands that is the most common source of distortion in other cables. The spiral
construction of Type 4 allows for significantly-better dynamic contrast and
information retrieval than if the same conductors were run in parallel. Other lengths
are available. Call for more information.
S AQ TYPE 4 $120.00 10ft. Pair
AQ CV-4 Speaker Cable
Using the same solid-core SST geometry as the AQ Type-4, the CV-4 sonic
improvement is a result of the PSC (Perfect Surface Copper)
used in its manufacturing. This unique metal allows the CV-4
to outperform previous AudioQuest cables that cost several
times as much. The level of focus, transparency and detail are
unprecedented at this price. The AQ CV-4 can be ordered in any length. Call for
more information.
S AQ CV4 $250.00 10ft. Pair
120
AQ CV-6 Speaker Cable
A larger version of the AQ CV-4, the new CV-6 uses 6 solid conductors in a SST
(Spread Spectrum Technology) design. The increased surface area has the ability to
deliver increased power and current with less resistance to your loudspeakers for
even tighter and fuller bass and increased dynamic swings. The AQ CV-6 is available
in any length or in a bi-wire configuration. Call for more information.

cleaning element and when raised is free of dust and debris.
The Zerodust will extend stylus life and enhance fidelity, and it
can be used indefinitely.
S ZERODUST $69.00
AudioQuest SorboGel Record Mat
Using an AQ SorboGel Record Mat will greatly improve the sound of any turntable
with a glass or metal platter. Vinyl or composite turntable platters, which include an
effective clamping system, will not usually need an AQ Record Mat. When playing
a record, the cartridge stylus presses against the vinyl surface with a force of many
tons per square inch. This enormous pressure
transfers energy into the record, causing it to vibrate.
Even extremely small vibrations in the record will
modulate with the music, compromising all aspects
of the musical performance.
If vinyl records were each a few inches thick, there
would be no problem. This ideal would provide a
stable surface for the cartridge to read, and vinyl's
natural mechanical looseness would filter platter resonances. The AQ SorboGel
Record Mat approximates this ideal by absorbing record and platter vibrations
while maintaining a strong foundation for the record.
S REC.MAT $95.00
SPT–Stylus Performance
Treatment
The primary function of the Lyra SPT is
straightforward - it helps keep your
cartridge's stylus scrupulously clean. In
doing this, it assists tracking and minimizes
damage to your valuable record albums
and the cartridge stylus. Unlike other cartridge stylus cleaners, the development of
SPT utilized extensive listening tests with the express purpose of improving the
sound of your record albums. We believe that this development effort has yielded a major advancement in sound enhancement through stylus treatment.
S SPT $44.99
Clearaudio Cartidge Alignment Gauge
A replacement for the long-discontinued Dennesen and Geo-Disc alignment
protractors. A must-have for properly setting the overhang and geometric

S CAG $150.00
Clearaudio Stylus Force Gauge
The ultimate tracking force gauge, it is accurate to
1/10 a gram! Easy to use and the most accurate and
rock-solid readings we have observed. A necessity for
anyone with a high-end tonearm and cartridge who
wants to dial in an exact tracking force or for those
who have multiple cartridges.
S SFG $400.00
Shure Stylus Force Gauge
This simple-to-use measuring device was developed to give listeners a way to
insure against the problems caused by improper tracking force settings, which include
mistracking, excessive record and tip wear, and poor sound reproduction. Each gauge

VPI SAMA Super Power Cord
All the new SAMAs (Stand Alone Motor Assembly) are supplied
with an IEC detachable power cord. And while this makes installation in tightquarters less of a challenge, it has one other advantage: it allows you to upgrade
the power cord. We didn't think changing the AC Cord feeding the turntable's
motor would have much of an effect. That is until we tried the new VPI Super
Power Cord. Improvements in background "blackness" and sweeter high
frequencies were consistently noted during our listening sessions. For those using
the SDS (Synchronous Drive System), the Super Power Cord will yield similar
improvements over the stock cord.
S VPI SPC $300.00
VPI SDS Synchronous Motor Drive
The Synchronous Drive System (SDS) combines a turntable motor speed
controller and a line isolator into one
convenient package. The SDS breaks new
ground in clean, accurate power delivery
using advanced-digital technology
and quartz-crystal accuracy.
Instead of merely filtering the
power line, the SDS first changes it into
pure DC voltage and then digitally
regenerates its own clean signal. This approach is superior to that used in many
of the other power line conditioners on the market.
The SDS works best with synchronous motor driven turntables, such as those
from VPI. The speed of a synchronous motor is determined by the frequency it is
fed. It is only logical then that a device with which speed is based on the line
frequency will always function better when a stable frequency is delivered. A
constant motor speed translates into a quieter, more faithful musical
presentation.

VPI HW-17F Record Cleaning
Machine
It is not uncommon for the serious
audiophile to have an investment in
quality records far in excess of his or her
sound reproduction equipment. This
investment demands the best in constant
care and maintenance, and the HW-17
record-cleaning machine is the answer.
The HW-17 automatically applies either
distilled water or 50% diluted alcohol solution
by way of a built-in liquid pump. An eightounce liquid reservoir is provided. Push-button operation automatically washes a record
to the very bottom of the grooves, and does so faster and with less effort than any other
record-cleaning machine available. The HW-17's built-in liquid pump does not allow fluid
to come into contact with the record label. The system is fully enclosed, and all points of
contact are velvet treated to protect the LP's delicate vinyl surfaces. Featuring an 18-RPM
high-torque motor that allows deep cleaning without strain, the HW-17's powerful,
integral vacuum system ensures quick, deep solution removal, as well as the removal of
old, built-up residue and prevents further accumulation of foreign matter.
The HW-17 cleans the oldest, dirtiest records thoroughly, providing a pristinely clean,
dry, static-free record that sounds better than new. Ideal for audiophiles, record archives,
radio stations, audio retailers and used record stores.

"I was quite impressed with the sound
of the new Red Rose Spirit
system, especially with SACD.
While it shouldn’t be considered
“full-range” in the sense of ultimate
bass extension or lease-breaking
volume, in the areas of ultimate
musical refinement, resolution and
non-fatiguing sound, it
gave up little to much
larger and complex

Sutherland
Ph.D. Phono Stage
AC power lines create noise. Period. There's only one feasible way around
that annoyance. Batteries. Bingo! Designer Ron Sutherland brings us a new
battery-powered phono stage with smart circuitry that allows this preamp
to turn on and off automatically thereby maximizing the life of your
batteries. One of the noisiest components in your home stereo is the
incoming AC power. And the audio power amplifier does not draw
current from the power line evenly. There is a large current spike drawn
when the sine wave reaches its voltage extremes, at other times current
draw is essentially zero. High frequency harmonics and noise are
introduced into the same power line that's used for sensitive phono
preamplification. The Ph.D. doesn't even have a power cord. Instead, 16
alkaline D cell batteries line the sides of the chassis. After about 800 hours
of playing time (roughly half the life of a cartridge), a red light will indicate that your
batteries are running low. Replacements cost about a buck a piece. The Ph.D. turns on
the moment your stylus is stimulated. From there, the unit automatically looks for a
signal every half-hour for just a fraction of a second. If it doesn't find a signal, it will
stay on for an additional half-hour with a yellow light indicating that it is preparing to
turn off. What's more, the Ph.D. has four different loading options and gain-stage
settings that are simple to adjust.

CLASS A PERFORMANCE FOR LESS THAN YOU THINK…
Introducing the AcousTech PH-1Premium Phono Stage.
Building on the design of the original PH-1, Ron Sutherland has created a new Premium
Edition. The PH-1P has gold-plated circuit boards with hand-matched parts that take its
performance to the next level. In fact, the PH-1P has just received a coveted “Class-A”
rating in Stereophile’s Recommend Components. What makes this even more special is that
most of the “Class-A” competition costs several times the AcousTech’s asking price.
Sam Tellig, who has owned the original PH-1 since its introduction, had this to say
about the new PH-1 Premium Edition:
“…the PH-1P gave me a welcome and worthwhile sonic improvement. The sound opened
up. Highs became more extended. I heard more spatial resolution. I noted a small but significant gain in overall transparency, including better-defined bass…with either version of
the PH-1, setting up for MM or MC is a breeze…”

Manley Laboratories, Inc. in recent years has expanded and thrived under
EveAnna Manley's leadership. Their 11,000 sq. ft. building houses a
machine shop, printed circuit board manufacture, audio transformer
winding, engraving, and silk-screening facilities. All custom design, R&D,
assembly, testing, and quality control processes are performed with
precision and pride at the Manley factory, located 35 miles east of
Los Angeles. Manley takes a purist approach to everything they build;
refining, executing and expanding upon their legacy of vacuum tube
design philosophies proven through years of real-world experience.
Manley ''Shrimp'' Preamplifier
A great-sounding, ALL-TUBE, line-level preamplifier, the Shrimp is very quick
and lively sounding. Its transparent presentation will bring out new details from
your favorite recordings. Direct-coupled, non-inverting, two-tube gain stage
uses 2 x 12AT7 and 2 x 7044. The quality of parts used, such as the MIT/MultiCap
polypropylene capacitors, Noble volume and balance controls and cool backlit
logo are simply not found in other components at this price level.
S SHRIMP
$1,880.00
Manley ''Steelhead'' Reference Phono-Stage
To quote Scot Markwell of The Absolute Sound: "This is, and by a good margin,
the finest phono-amplifier I have ever heard, in my system or anyone else's." We
couldn't agree more. The Steelhead completely redefines what is possible in the
arena of vinyl playback and music reproduction in general. It is also the most
flexible phono-preamp ever designed. It will work with the lowest-output
moving coil and the most robust moving-magnet cartridges. And its front panel
impedance and capacitive loading options can be set "on-the-fly" while listening
to your favorite recordings. Michael Fremer of Stereophile, who purchased the
Steelhead as his long-term reference, had this to say: "Overall, the Steelhead
delivered the best vinyl playback I've heard from my system. It combined speed,
frequency extension, resolution, harmonic structure, focus, air, stage depth,
image specificity, and, most important, overall musical coherence in a way that
made music seem to fly from the speakers unrestrained by mechanical or electrical bounds."

$7,300.00
Manley ''Stingray'' Integrated Amplifier
This sweet-sounding, EL-84 Output, ALL-TUBE integrated amplifier can be factory configured for
either 25 watts Triode or 50 watts Ultra-Linear operation. The distinguished chassis design, which
gives the Stingray its namesake, was designed after careful research of optimal component placement for the purity and symmetry of the signal path layout. The Stingray is very transparent
sounding with surprising bass extension and control; in fact, it received the coveted Golden Ear Award
by the Absolute Sound. Record-Out or Subwoofer Pre-Out available for $100 extra each.
S STINGRAY $2,250.00
Manley ''Snapper'' Monoblock Amplifiers
This brilliant design features a quartet of EL-34s per chassis in a fully-differential circuit topology. The
Snapper can be driven full balanced all the way through via the XLR inputs. The unbalanced RCAs can
also be used in this special topology with equally impressive results. These svelte monoblocks will impress
the listener with their incredible purity and detail-retrieval while retaining the special magic that can only
come from a tube design. A new output transformer, custom wound by Manley Labs, ensures continuous
full-power bandwidth output of 100 watts down to 18 cycles! Catch a pair today.
S SNAPPER $4,250.00 pair
Manley Neo-Classic SE / PP 300B
The wonderfully simple 300B directly-heated triode tube perfected by Western Electric is the stuff of legends. "Single-Ended" amplifiers based on this topology have now been elevated to cult status, and many
audiophiles take a religious stance when waxing emphatic about their sound. But the main drawback to
these types of amplifiers is their miniscule power output. Power ratings in the single digits are not
uncommon. It is essential then that a very efficient speaker be utilized with this type of design. The
Manley Neo-Classic SE / PP gives the audiophile the option of switching between 18 watts of
pure, single-ended triode power, or with the flip of a switch, 36 watts in push-pull. There is
also a variable feedback control to perfectly match the amplifiers damping factor to your
speakers. Vacuum-tube rectification improves the sound and extends tube life.
S SE 300B $7,200.00 pair
Manley ''Neo-Classic 250 Watt'' Monoblock Amplifiers
While the Neo-Classic SE / PP may require careful speaker matching, we have yet to encounter a design
that will challenge the 250s. These powerhouses can give the instant energy required for dynamic reproduction of transient peaks, and their bass impact and weight often exceeds that of rival solid-state amplifiers. They also possess great delicacy and the seductive midrange that can only come from tubes. The EL34 output stage can be switched between triode-mode for 100 watts per channel, or for more demanding musical fare, tetrode mode yielding 250 watts. These amps will do justice to the world's finest ancillary components and speakers.
