Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition 180g 33RPM 2LP Set Presents 1974 Performances with Absorbing Detail, Color, and Energy
1/4” / 15 IPS analog copy to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
It’s safe to assume no one in the audience at Carnegie Hall on March 30, 1974 anticipated what Miles Davis would play at the concert documented on Dark Magus. Recorded near the tail end of his electric period, the double album remains the darkest, most ferocious statement of Davis’ career — a visionary effort that foresaw developments in jungle, noise-rock, funk, and drum ‘n’ bass.
Initially issued in Japan in 1977, Dark Magus waited two decades for U.S. release. Now, more than 50 years after Davis and his ensemble blew minds at the famous New York venue, it’s finally available on a definitive-sounding pressing..
Miles Davis In Person: Friday And Saturday Nights At The Blackhawk – Impex 2LP, 180G, 33RPM Vinyl
Milt Jackson : Sunflower – Pure Pleasure Records 180g Vinyl
Recorded over two days in December of 1972 at Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood, New Jersey home studio, vibraphonist Milt Jackson’s Sunflower is the first and best of his three albums for Creed Taylor’s CTI imprint. (And one of the finest offerings on the label.) With a core band consisting of Herbie Hancock (playing electric and acoustic piano), bassist Ron Carter, drummer Billy Cobham, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, drummer/percussionist Ralph McDonald, and guitarist Jay Berliner. A chamber orchestra exquisitely arranged and conducted by Don Sebesky adorns the session as well.
Milt Jackson & John Coltrane – Bags & Trane – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
Available to Pre-Order
Vibraphonist Milt Jackson and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane make for a surprisingly complementary team on this 1959 studio session, their only joint recording. AllMusic notes that with fine backup by pianist Hank Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Connie Kay, Bags and Trane stretch out on two of Jackson's originals (including "The Late Late Blues") and three standards: a romping "Three Little Words," "The Night We Called It a Day," and the rapid "Be-Bop." The highlight of the set is the eponymous opening track, which just oozes late-night cool.

Mofi The Stooges – The Stooges – Mofi 180g 45RPM Vinyl LP
Few albums inspired the reactions and registered the impact of the Stooges’ primordial self-titled debut. To a majority of listeners who encountered it shortly after it was released the same week Woodstock happened in 1969, the record seemingly came from another planet despite the fact its songs reflect the band’s Detroit surroundings and youthful malaise.
Originally deemed by Rolling Stone “loud, boring, tasteless, unimaginative and childish” — sentiments shared by many critics — only later to be included on the magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time register, The Stooges established the template for myriad styles and the snarling attitude that would be associated with the still-years-away punk scene. Time further proved the band’s stomping, clattering rock ‘n’ roll way ahead of the curve given the work is now cited on endless “Best Album” lists.

Nat King Cole – After Midnight – Pure Pleasure Records 180g 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Vinyl LP
Nat ‘King’ Cole’s music is the perfect combination of romantic charm and musical invention.
Cole is renowned for his big production numbers and pop hits such as ‘Stardust,’ but he was also an accomplished and unique jazz pianist and excelled in a small-group setting.
After Midnight’s album cover states that this is a ‘trio’ release.
Natalie Merchant – Tigerlily – 2 x 45RPM 180g Mobile Fidelity Vinyl
True to its title, Tigerlily balance fierceness and delicacy, creating a rare span of emotional territory. Listening to Tigerlily, a distinct songwriter’s voice emerges, one which possesses strength and vulnerability. The lyrics are personal, the arrangements stark and sparse. Tigerlily was engineered by John Holbrook, who has worked with The Band, Peter Tosh, and the Isley Brothers.
