Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt ‘A Meeting By The River’ Analogue Productions 180g, 45RPM 2LP
I was expecting the sound to be exceptional, but I was wrong. It was breathtaking, it was like I was there or they were there in person performing for me.....that is how good it is. And the music, nothing else to say but it is real....... I wanted to get the test pressing after listening to this and may do so in the near future.

Sam Cooke – Night Beat – Analogue Productions 45RPM Vinyl
Clearly Sam Cooke’s most intimate, most soulful and ultimately most real recording. This one has the feel of a private performance captured after hours when the audience had gone home and the singer was singing purely for the love of his songs. The performance put forth is simply straight from Cooke’s soul. His selection of songs include spiritual, bluesy ballads and gospel classics. Cooke owns these songs, making each interpretation all his own. This is warm music that’s easy to connect with. Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound from the original three-track masters.
Originally released in 1963.
