Paul Butterfield met aspiring blues guitarist Elvin Bishop in the early 1960s and with bassist Jerome Arnold and drummer Sam Lay (both from Howlin Wolf�s touring band), the new group secured a highly successful club engagement at Big John�s Folk Club in Chicago, bringing them to the attention of producer Paul A. Rothchild. During their engagement, Butterfield met and occasionally sat in with guitarist Mike Bloomfield. Rothchild was impressed with the chemistry between the two and having persuaded Paul to bring Bloomfield into the band, eventually signed them to Elektra Records in 1964. This Deluxe 3LP expanded edition of The Paul Butterfield Band�s lost sessions from the 1964-1966 era features the classic line-up working through blues classics. It is the first time this killer collection is available on vinyl and is expanded to include unreleased demo and alternate tracks recently found in the Warner Vaults.

Bobby Hamilton founded the band Anubis in Syracuse, NY and they put out their awesome �Ecology� single on Charles Bazen�s Salt City imprint. It�s a highlight on the 2012 Soul-Cal anthology Now-Again,something akin to Terry Callier and Gil Scott Heron�s most soulful works.

Shortly after issuing that single, Bobby put together the Bobby Hamilton Quintet Unlimited and recorded and issued Dream Queen in 1972. The last clean copy Bobby Hamilton had, he sold to the musician Jamie XX in 2021 for a princely sum.

Few originals will ever surface again � its original run of 500 units having disappeared into the ether decades ago. This is your chance to hear a masterwork of deep, spiritual jazz lacquered directly from its original master tape in an all analog transfer by the legendary Bernie Grundman. Dream Queen�s story is told for the first time in extensive liner notes by Torii McAdams. Dig deeper and expand.

In the summer of 1970, Linda Hoover, then 19, entered Manhattan�s Advantage Sound Studio to cut her first album with Gary Katz, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen leading a team that also included guitarists (and future Steely Dan members) Denny Dias & Jeff �Skunk� Baxter, and Eric Weissberg, saxophonist Jerome Richardson, plus members of the Dick Cavett Orchestra.

I Mean To Shine�includes three original compositions by Linda alongside The Band�s �In A Station� (from�Music From Big Pink) and Stephen Stills� �4+20� (which appeared on CSN&Y�s�D�j� Vu). Almost half of the album was penned by the pre-Steely Dan songwriting duo of Becker and Fagen, including what would become the album�s title track. After creating a wonderful record, album cover photos were taken and then it all fell apart.

The release was shelved over a business disagreement and if that wasn�t heartbreaking enough, Hoover learned that Barbra Streisand also recorded �I Mean To Shine� (which would appear on her album�Barbra Joan Streisand). Streisand�s album hit #11 and went gold. For the production team of Katz, Becker, and Fagen one success built on another and they were hired to staff positions at ABC-Dunhill Records in Los Angeles.

Hoover continued to pursue musical opportunities in New York, but with her creative team gone and no record release to show for their collective efforts, she wound up returning to her parents� house in Florida. However, she did take a tape copy of her album home with her.

Now, with the blessing from Hoover and original producer Katz, the previously unissued album,�I Mean To Shine�finally sees the light of day and even features the proposed 1970 cover shot by Joel Brodsky (whose work at that time had already graced the covers of releases from The Doors, Van Morrison, The Stooges, and more). The album has been produced for release by Linda, Jay Willingham, and Grammy�-winner Cheryl Pawelski with audio restoration and mastering by Grammy�-winning engineer Michael Graves. Scott Schinder�s liner notes are informed by new interviews with Hoover and Katz.

First-ever release of cult Freddie Hubbard live performance recorded in 1973 at Maison De La Radio (ORTF) in Paris. Released in collaboration with Duane Hubbard and French Institut National De L'audiovisuel (INA), the double-LP set has been remastered for vinyl from the original tapes and comes in a gatefold sleeve including liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre. A mesmerizing live performance by Freddie Hubbard and his quintet recorded in Paris at Maison de la Radio (ORTF) on March 25, 1973. Featuring Hubbard with George Cables on Fender Rhodes, Junior Cook on sax/flute, Kent Brinkley on bass, and Michael Carvin on drums, the group interprets four Hubbard classics in deep, spiritual mode. The tapes of the concert were transferred at INA's studios and remastered for vinyl by Colorsound Studio. 1973 was a special year for Freddie Hubbard. He had been one of jazz's brightest young stars for more than a decade and had also recorded as a sideman for such luminaries as John Coltrane, Art Blakey, and Ornette Coleman. After a spell at Blue Note and Atlantic Records, Hubbard signed to CTI records in 1970. Launched by Creed Taylor, CTI was the up-and-coming jazz label at the time, aiming at the pop market with their trademark blend of fusion jazz and highly stylized album covers. There, Hubbard recorded five highly successful studio albums further cementing is reputation as a jazz superstar. In early 1973, after years of working with the cream of the CTI stable of musicians for his albums and concerts (including Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette, George Benson, Herbie Hancock), Hubbard decided to put together a new quintet consisting of Junior Cook on sax, Kent Brinkley on bass, plus two young Turks from the thriving post-bop jazz scene: pianist George Cables -- who'd cut his teeth with Woody Shawand Joe Henderson -- and drummer Michael Carvin who'd played with Doug Carn and Henry Franklin on their Black Jazz albums (the following year, Carvin would appear on Pharoah Sanders's Impulse album Elevation and on Cecil McBee's Mutima on Strata East). The quintet, save Carvin, would record Hubbard's Keep Your Soul Together for CTI later that year (his last album for the label) but for the time being, the quintet was busy touring and they all left for Europe to hone their skills as a tight unit. The music they created during that tour, as showcased on this live performance recorded in Paris, is nothing but extraordinary and unlike anything Hubbard had recorded for CTI. �The musicians are heard here playing four recent Hubbard classics: "Sky Dive", "The Intrepid Fox", "Povo" and "First Light" in a very different style: the music here is deep and organic, retaining the quintessence of the four beautiful melodies and stretching them in long, spiritual work outs. The concert which was filmed by French TV in beautiful black-and-white by Marc Pavaux and legendary DoP Willy Kurant is a vivid testimony of the musicians' togetherness, caught in full flight on this performance and taking the music to higher grounds. Gatefold sleeve; OBI designed by Raimund Wong with liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre.

THE PRE-RESIDENTS YEARS, AS EXHUMED FROM THE BAND�S EXTENSIVE MASTER TAPE ARCHIVE.

DOUBLE LP SET FEATURING TWO LIVE SHOWS RECORDED IN 1971 AND 1972 PLUS THE COMPLETE �1-10 (WITH A TOUCH OF 11)� ALBUM, RECORDED IN 1972 AND PREVIOUSLY ONLY RELEASED IN SHORT EXCERPTS.

PRODUCED BY THE RESIDENTS AND THE CRYPTIC CORPORATION.

As they became The Residents, San Francisco�s most treasured sons (and, for all we know, daughters) produced a number of experimental tapes, and even ventured beyond their studio to perform on stage.

This set captures both those live shows and a previously-unheard-in-its-entirety studio recording, �1-10 (With A Touch Of 11)�. Raw and unsophisticated, and deeply experimental with regards the studio material, all three recordings shine a light onto the group�s early, intrauterine period, capturing them performing together, and represents an invaluable part of their formative story.

Part of the band�s ongoing pREServed series, providing an accompaniment to a collection of vinyl reissues of their better known 1970s recordings, �Warning: Uninc� bears little relation to the rest of recorded music history, a pattern The Residents have continued over the 50 years since these recordings were made.

Soul Jazz Records' new 20th anniversary one-off limited-edition heavyweight special-edition purple coloured double vinyl pressing + download code and striking 'Wailers' alternative gatefold sleeve only available for Record Store Day 2022.

Studio One Classics features a non-stop selection of stone-cold classic Studio One killers! Spanning 40 years of the legendary label, this album is a celebration of the music of Studio One Records and features a who's who of Jamaican Reggae: Bob Marley, The Heptones, Horace Andy, Sugar Minott, Don Drummond, Prince Jazzbo & more.

This collection contains numerous legendary tracks, including Bob Marley and the Wailers' 'Simmer Down'," "Love Me Forever" by Carlton & His Shoes, Slim Smith's "Rougher Yet," Horace Andy's "Fever,", Alton Ellis's 'I'm Just A Guy', The Skatalites' blazing 'Confucious' and loads more. Timeless stuff ' every track here is indeed a classic!

Studio One produced literally hundreds of hits and this selection includes some of the label's most enduring songs. Often described as both the University of Reggae and the Motown of Jamaica, Sir Coxsone nurtured countless artists who began their musical careers at Studio One. It is simply impossible to imagine modern Jamaican music without Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, founder of the iconic label, and virtually every singer and musician of note in Reggae cut their teeth at Studio One.

In over four decades Coxsone Dodd pioneered nearly every new form of Jamaican music as it developed over time and this album includes Ska, Dancehall, Roots, Rocksteady, DJ, Lovers and more.

This is probably the best entry of the many Soul Jazz Studio One releases if you're after a primer in the Studio One sound. It's all here from the stomping Ska of the Skatalites to The Lone Ranger's Rub-a-dub stylee!

Cruel Country�Wilco�s universally-acclaimed 12th studio album will be available for the first time on vinyl and in a standard retail CD format via dBpm Records on January 20th. The double-disc packages are comprised of 21 Country Music inspired tracks, recorded at the band�s Chicago studio�The Loft.

Originally released in May 2022 (digital only) and in a limited �pre-release� CD edition for the June RSD drop, lead tracks �Falling Apart (Right Now)� and �Tired Of Taking It Out On You� have already become staples on non-commercial, public and AAA radio. Cruel Country songs and graphics have been featured throughout the band�s June European tour and August/September/October North American tour.

A new music video for �A Lifetime To Find� will be released in conjunction with the pre-order announcement.

Bandleader Jeff Tweedy has commented a length on the concept and recording process of Cruel Country in numerous podcasts, online interviews and print articles:

�There have been elements of Country Music in everything we�ve ever done. We�ve never been particularly comfortable with accepting that definition, the idea that I was making Country Music. But now, having been around the block a few times, we�re finding it exhilarating to free ourselves within the form, and embrace the simple limitation of calling the music we�re making Country.�

Jon Pareles in The New York Times wrote: �Wilco makes an understated magnum opus. Its tone is naturalistic and understated; the album was recorded largely with Wilco playing live in the studio as a six-man band, quietly savoring the chance to make music together after pandemic isolation.�

Jon Dolan in Rolling Stone wrote: �Their latest is a beautifully rootsy album with a broken sense of patriotic concern.� ****
