Ray Charles – Ray Charles – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
Ray Charles' self-titled 1957 album was one of the first handful of LPs issued by Atlantic (and was later retitled Hallelujah I Love Her So). As AllMusic reviewer Bruce Elder notes, the album is weighted about three to one in favor of Charles' own compositions, with the hits "Hallelujah I Love Her So" and the pounding, soaring "Ain't That Love," which opens the LP, its raison d'etre.

John Coltrane – Coltrane’s Sound – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
Available to Pre-Order
John Coltrane's brief but prodigious Atlantic Records period (1959-61) included the highly underrated Coltrane's Sound, recorded in 1960 and released in 1964. "The title could not have been more accurate, as each of the six pieces bear the unmistakable and indelible stamp of Coltrane's early-'60s style... Regardless of the lack of attention, these recordings remain among Trane's finest," writes AllMusic.

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.

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.
Crosby, Stills and Nash – Daylight Again – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series 45 rpm 180g Vinyl
Available to Pre-Order
Although Crosby, Stills & Nash had, in effect, been together for well over a decade when Daylight Again (1982) was issued, it was only their third studio long-player of concurrently new material. Initially, the project began as a collaborative effort between Stephen Stills (guitar/banjo/keyboards/percussion/vocals) and Graham Nash (guitar/keyboards/percussion/vocals), as David Crosby was descending into a self-induced state of perpetual drug dependency. However, Crosby was included, although arguably in name alone, and his hauntingly lyrical "Delta" stands as one of his finest contributions. Perhaps the most telling element in the trio's state of affairs was the addition of the Eagles' Timothy B. Schmit and CSN bandmember Mike Finnigan (keyboards/vocals) on vocals throughout.

Described by AllMusic as the standard-bearer for post-alternative rock 'n' roll because of its '90s production dynamics, while still holding true to its classic rock core, Yourself or Someone Like You — the debut album from Matchbox Twenty — features sturdy songs and fairly strong hooks, all delivered forcefully with lead singer-songwriter Rob Thomas's distinctive bravado.
