CANNONBALL ADDERLEY: CANNONBALL AND EIGHT GIANTS [ESP 1974] LPx2 CANNONBALL ADDERLEY: CANNONBALL AND EIGHT GIANTS [ESP 1974] LPx2 Cannonball Adderley   "Cannonball And Eight Giants"  LPx2 (Milestone)   1974  made in Spain cat. num.  MM.40-068/69 S #jazz previously released as "Portait Of Cannonball" and "Things Are Getting Better" on Riverside label. A Little Taste 4:34 Straight Life 5:30 Minority (Take 2) 7:24 Minority (Take 3) 7:05 Nardis 5:30 Blue Funk 5:30 People Will Say We're In Love 9:38 Blues Oriental 4:55 A Few Previously Unissued Words From Cannonball And Then... 0:47 Things Are Getting Better 7:09 Serves Me Right 4:44 Groovin' High 5:17 The Sidewalks Of New York 6:56 Sounds For Sid 6:24 Just One Of Those Things 6:44   "Portait Of Cannonball"   This fine Riverside debut by  Adderley  was cut just a few months after the alto saxophonist had contributed to  Miles Davis ' stellar  Milestones  release. Joining  Adderley  for the six tracks here are fellow  Davis  alumni  Philly Joe Jones  on drums and  Bill Evans  on piano. These three are augmented by the wonderful and often-underrated  Blue Mitchell  on trumpet and the equally illustrious  Sam Jones  on bass. Everyone is in top form on a varied set that takes in two  Adderley  originals (the fine ballad "Straight Life" and "A Little Taste"), a classic  Gigi Gryce  number ("Minority"), and  Miles ' oft-covered "Nardis." Filling out the program, we have a rare  Sam Jones -penned cut, "Blue Funk," and a lone standard in the  Rogers & Hammerstein  chestnut from Oklahoma, "People Will Say We're in Love." One of the highlights from  Adderley 's hard bop prime. "Things Are Getting Better" This title provides ample evidence why alto  Cannonball Adderley  is considered one of the masters of his craft. Here he joins forces with  Modern Jazz Quartet  co-founder  Milt Jackson  on vibes to create a variety of sonic atmospheres. They are backed by the all-star ensemble of  Wynton Kelly  on piano,  Percy Heath  on bass, and the one and only  Art Blakey  on drums. The moody "Blues Oriental" opens the set with  Jackson  immediately diving in with his trademark fluid runs and shimmering intonation.  Adderley  counters with a light and lively line that weaves between the rhythm section. The optimistic "Things Are Getting Better" is a good-natured romp as the co-leads trade and cajole each other into some downright rollicking exchanges. This directly contrasts with the sultry "Serves Me Right," which allows the combo members to demonstrate their collective musical malleability. The interaction between  Adderley  and  Jackson  sparkles as they entwine their respective playing with an uncanny singularity of spirit. The cover of  Dizzy Gillespie 's "Groovin' High" contains another spirited performance with some thoroughly engaging improvisation, especially during  Adderley 's voracious solos. "Sidewalks of New York" bops freely as  Jackson  unleashes some sublime licks against a hearty and equally boisterous sax.  Adderley 's "Sounds for Sid" demonstrates his uncanny ability to swing with a strong R&B vibe. With drop-dead timing and profound instrumental chops, this cut is undoubtedly one of the best from  Adderley 's earliest canon. The album concludes with a jumping reading of  Cole Porter 's "Just One of Those Things." While  Wynton Kelly  has been uniformly solid, his interjections stand out here as he bridges and undergirds the two as they banter with flair and aplomb. This set can be recommended without hesitation to all manner of jazz enthusiast, as it quite literally offers something for every taste. [Some reissues include two bonus tracks supplementing the original seven-song running order, alternate takes of "Serves Me Right" and "Sidewalks of New York."]

Artísticamente, se le dio por perdido en gran parte  por haber pasado su mejor momento. Emocionalmente, estaba sufriendo un doloroso divorcio de su entonces esposa Sara Lowndes. Creativamente, Dylan parecía estar  en un punto muerto. Las décadas anteriores de brillantez transformacional parecían haber terminado. Luego llegó Blood on the Tracks. El álbum representa un ciclo de principio a fin y documenta la búsqueda, el conflicto y la pérdida de una mujer por parte de su amante. Este vigoroso e íntimo esfuerzo de 1975 sigue siendo uno de los álbumes sobre una ruptura más completos jamás realizados.   Características: • Edición Limitada y Numerada Manualmente: estrictamente limitada a solo 9000 copias.   • El número de la copia que se muestra en la foto de la contraportada no necesariamente debe corresponder con el número de la copia actual en venta.   • MoFi SuperVinyl Pressing.   • UltraDisc One-Step.   • Edición Speed de 45rpm.   • Caja de 2LP.   • Fiel a los gráficos originales.   • Producción y masterización por Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab.   • Nuevo y Precintado de Fábrica.   DESCATALOGADO     DESCRIPTION: US 2019 Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab  UD1S 2-006   Ranked #117 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time List.   Bob Dylan was at several crossroads in the mid-1970s. Artistically, he was largely written off as being past his prime.Emotionally, he was suffering through a painful divorce from his then-wife Sara Lowndes. Creatively, he appeared at a stalemate, his previous decades unprecedented run of transformational brilliance finished. Then came Blood on the Tracks. A start-to-finish cycle that documents a lovers pursuit of, entanglement with, and loss of a woman, the bracingly intimate 1975 effort remains one of the most encompassing break-up albums ever made.       Features:   • Hand Numbered, Limited Edition – Strictly limited to only 9000 Copies.   • The copy number shown in the photo of the back cover does not necessarily have to correspond to the number of the current copy for sale.   • MoFi SuperVinyl Pressing.   • UltraDisc One-Step.   • 45rpm Speed Edition.   • 2LP Box Set.   • Housed in an opulent box.   • Faithful to original graphics.   • Production and Mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab.   • New and Factory sealed.   • SOLD OUT!     Track Listing:   SIDE A   1.

LOU REED: ROCK AND ROLL HEART [DEU 1992] CD/RE LOU REED: ROCK AND ROLL HEART [DEU 1992] CD/RE (Arista - BMG)  1992  made in Germany cat. num.  262 271 #rock   1 I Believe In Love 2:42 2 Banging On My Drum 2:09 3 Follow The Leader 2:09 4 You Wear It So Well 4:47 5 Ladies Pay 4:17 6 Rock And Roll Heart 3:02 7 Chooser And The Chosen One 2:44 8 Senselessly Cruel 2:04 9 Claim To Fame 2:48 10 Vicious Circle 2:52 11 A Sheltered Life 2:17 12 Temporary Thing 5:12   Rock and Roll Heart  was  Lou Reed 's first album for Arista Records, and one senses that he wanted to come up with something saleable for his new sponsors. Uptempo numbers with pop hooks dominate the set, the 12 songs zip by in an efficient 38 minutes, and instead of  Reed 's trademark meditations on the dark side of life, the lyrics are (for the most part) lean bursts of verse and chorus, in which the artist sings the praises of good times in general and rock & roll in particular (then again, on "I Believe in Love,"  Reed  pledges his allegiance to both "good time music" and "the iron cross," a bit of perversity to remind us whose album this is). But if  Rock and Roll Heart  sounds like " Lou Reed  Lite," there are more than a few flashes of  Reed 's inarguable talent. His band is in fine form (especially  Marty Fogel  on sax and  Michael Fonfara  on keyboards). "Banging on My Drum" is a crunchy rocker that recalls his work with  the Velvet Underground; "A Sheltered Life" is an amusing bit of  VU  archeology (the Velvets demoed the song, but this marked its first appearance on record); and the closer, "Temporary Thing," is a bitter, haunting narrative that foreshadows  Reed 's next album, the harrowing masterpiece  Street Hassle.

BOOKER LITTLE & BOOKER ERVIN: SOUNDS OF INNER CITY [ESP 1985] LP BOOKER LITTLE & BOOKER ERVIN: SOUNDS OF INNER CITY [ESP 1985] LP Booker Little & Booker Ervin   "Sounds Of Inner City"  LP (Doblon)  1985  made in Spain cat. num.  50.1892 #jazz   A1 Souchie 5:20 A2 Cycles 4:44 A3 Stardust 3:41 B1 The Confined Few 6:52 B2 Blues De'Tambour 3:38 B3 Witch Fire 4:34   Two masters of hard bop, trumpeter  Booker Little  and tenor saxophonist  Booker Ervin, square off on this 1960 session reissued by Collectables as  Sounds of the Inner City. This date has been released under various titles over the years since its original inception as  Teddy Charles' New Directions Quartet Featuring Booker Little and Booker Ervin. Most of the material is straight-ahead bop under the leadership of vibraphonist  Teddy Charles  with  Mal Waldron  on piano,  Addison Farmer  on bass, and Ed Shaunesssy on drums. This is a noteworthy reissue considering that there are so few instances of  Little 's lyrical trumpet style and  Ervin 's passionate tenor recorded together. Original compositions include  Ervin 's "Scoochie,"  Little 's "The Confined Few" and "Witch Fire," Shaunessy's "Blues de Tambour," pianist  Ahmad Jamal 's "Cycles," plus the standard "Stardust" (receiving an especially melancholy treatment.) The only complaint is the lack of liner notes, which excludes information on personnel and session history.

GARY SHEARSTON: DINGO [ESP 1974] LP GARY SHEARSTON: DINGO [ESP 1974] LP Gary Shearston   "Dingo"  LP (Charisma)  1974  made in Spain cat. num.  63 69 958 #folk rock  #pop rock   Dingo   Back Of Beyond   Witnessing   I Get A Kick Out Of You   The Lightkeeper Of America   Seagull And Swan   The Ballad Of Blasted Creek   Lump In The Bed   Aborigine   Without A Song   b. 9 January 1939, Inverell, New South Wales, Australia. This singer-songwriter was also proficient on guitar and harmonica. Shearston moved with his family to Sydney at the age of 12, after his father’s farm was destroyed by drought. By the time Shearston was 19 he was a professional singer performing traditional Australian music in pubs, clubs and on radio and television. In the late 50s he made his first recording, for the Festival label, and this was followed by a number of albums for CBS Records in the early to mid-60s. Two of these albums were described as ‘among the best records of traditional music ever made in Australia’. In 1965, Shearston received an award for the best composition of the year when ‘Sometime Lovin’’ was covered by a number of artists including Peter Paul And Mary. In the mid-60s, together with Martyn Wyndham-Read, he recorded a live album on the Australian Score record label, although CBS would not let Shearston appear on the album. In addition, he had his own folk music television programme.  Shearston then travelled to the USA in 1968 and lived there for the next four years. During the mid-70s Shearston relocated to Britain, where he recorded two albums for Charisma Records. Shearston’s one major hit in the UK came in 1974, when ‘I Get A Kick Out Of You’ made the Top 10. This single made Shearston the first Australian artist to have a simultaneous hit in Britain and Australia. Despite the long gap between albums he carried on and worked the folk clubs of Europe. Returning to Australia from England in 1988, Shearston was made a Deacon of the Anglican Church in December 1991, and has served in the parishes of Narrandera, Deniliquin, Hay, and Bangalow. In 2001, he released his first new studio album in over a decade.

LITTLE RIVER BAND: TIME EXPOSURE [DEU 1981] LP LITTLE RIVER BAND: TIME EXPOSURE [DEU 1981] LP Little River Band   "Time Exposure"  LP (Capitol - Emi)  1981  made in Germany cat. num.  10C 064-400 042 #rock     The Night Owls   Man On Your Mind   Take It Easy On Me   Ballerina   Love Will Survive   Full Circle   Just Say That You Love Me   Suicide Boulevard   Orbit Zero   Don't Let The Needle Win   Guiding Light   When  Little River Band  formed in 1975, Australia immediately took notice. The key bandmembers were already well known to Australians. Lead singer  Glenn Shorrock  had made his name in mid-'60s group  the Twilights, a  Beatles -sounding pop group that scored a national number one record with its version of  the Velvelettes ' "Needle in a Haystack." When the group broke up in 1969,  Shorrock  became lead singer of  Axiom, whose "A Little Ray of Sunshine" is still an Australian classic rock staple.  LRB 's  Beeb Birtles  had been the bass player for a popular  Twilights -era pop group called  Zoot  (Rick Springfield was a later member). When that group broke up, in search of musical credibility,  Birtles  auditioned as the bass player, but was instantly elevated to a front-line position alongside  Graham Goble. Even  LRB 's manager was well-known.  Glenn Wheatley  had been the bassist with another of Australia's bands, and possibly its most legendary,  the Masters Apprentices. Given all that background, when  Shorrock  and  Birtles  revealed they were forming a group with  Goble, managed by  Wheatley, it was major event in Australian music.
