Bad Company – Bad Company – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl

Peter Grant, who managed the rock band Led Zeppelin, also managed Bad Company until 1982.

The vocal passion of "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" became the album's gold-selling single, and the album as a whole takes on a more polished feel than its predecessor Burnin' Sky. "Gone, Gone, Gone," "Lonely for Your Love," and "She Brings Me Love" work best in vocalist and rhythm guitarist Paul Rodgers' favor, and fans did prove their loyalty, pushing the album to the No. 10 mark in the U.K. and to No. 3 in the U.S.
Bad Company – Run With The Pack – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
NOW IN STOCK
Released in early 1976, the title track of Bad Company's third album "Run With The Pack" is, what one critic described as, "a male-bonding type of song" that frontman Paul Rodgers was inspired to write about the group's non-stop touring adventures.
"Run With The Pack" is notable for its string arrangement, which Rodgers said he had in mind from the outset. "I wrote that song on the piano, and when I played it to the guys they fell right in. In my head, strings were always part of the song."
Bill Evans: The Bill Evans Album 180g vinyl
The global corporation Columbia recorded and released only two LPs with pianist Bill Evans. A meagre result when one considers the numerous concerts that the new trio undertook between 1969 and 1974. Together with Eddie Gomez, a phenomenon on the bass, and drummer Marty Mortell, the three established a firm – and ever better – trio. Evans became interested in the possibilities offered by the Fender Rhodes piano and used it for the first time in “The Bill Evans Album”.
Pure Pleasure releases are created from the original artwork and re-mastered from the original tapes by engineers who on occasions, have mastered the originals. Some in the original studios! The sleeves are re-created from the originals. An exciting journey! The End Result?

Boz Scaggs – Boz Scaggs – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
Boz Scaggs’ self-titled album, released in 1969, is an iconic and pivotal record in his career, marking a shift in his musical direction to incorporate elements of soul, R&B, and showcasing his musical versatility.
Departing from the Steve Miller Band after a two-album stint, Boz Scaggs found himself on his own but not without support. Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, his friend, helped him sign with Atlantic Records and the label had him set up shop in Muscle Shoals, recording his debut album with that legendary set of studio musicians, known for their down-and-dirty backing work for Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett, among many other Southern soul legends.

Due in part to personnel problems which saw Bruce Palmer and Neil Young in and out of the group, Buffalo Springfield's second album did not have as unified an approach as their debut, writes AllMusic.
Still, the group continued to make major strides in both their songwriting and arranging, and this record stands as the band's greatest triumph, peaking at No. 44 on the Billboard Top LPs chart. As of 2012 the album was No. 188 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Charles Mingus – Blues & Roots – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
In Stock and Ready to Ship
AllMusic marks Charles Mingus' Blues & Roots as a rejoinder to the critical carping that the virtuoso bass player and accomplished jazz pianist and bandleader and his evocative music "somehow didn't swing enough." For this album Mingus turned to the earthiest and earliest sources of black musical expression — blues, gospel, and old-time New Orleans jazz. The resulting album ranks arguably as Mingus' most joyously swinging outing.
