Bob Marley & The Wailers — Rastaman Vibration Hybrid Stereo SACD release from Analogue Productions Mastered Direct To DSD by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from the original master tape Plays in all CD and SACD players When Rastaman Vibration was first released in America in 1976 it did what some in the music industry considered nearly impossible at the time. It took Bob Marley into the Top Ten alongside disco records and corporate rock, points out Rolling Stone, which rates the album 4 stars. Despite the good cheer of the title track and the upbeat “Roots, Rock, Reggae,” Rastaman Vibration contains some of Marley’s most intense images of oppression, paranoia and despair. Tracks such as “Who the Cap Fit,” “Crazy Baldhead” and “War” are offered by the Wailers with dire urgency as Marley’s brutal visions are echoed by his own church choir, the I-Threes. More than four decades later, neither Marley’s music nor his message has lost its sting.

The album has nine songs, two of which were written and composed by Peter Tosh; the remaining seven were by Bob Marley. While Bunny Wailer is not credited as a writer, the group’s writing style was a collective process. Although Marley may have been the main voice, every member of the Wailers made valuable contributions and they were never more united in their vision and sound.

Burnin’ promoted the Wailers into international fame, led by the classic hits “I Shot The Sheriff” (a subsequent U.S. No. 1 for Eric Clapton) and the enduring anthem of people power, adopted by civil rights activists worldwide “Get Up, Stand Up.”
Bob Marley And The Wailers – Exodus – Analogue Productions Hybrid Stereo SACD
Available To Pre-Order - Due February
By the time Bob Marley died, he was one of the world’s first global superstars, famous and lauded from Europe through Africa and the Americas. Some even saw him as not just a reggae singer but as a folk hero, a sort of freedom fighter, and to this day his enduring image feels greater than the music he made, writes Pitchfork. Exodus represented a subtle but significant shift for Marley; while he continued to speak out against political corruption and for freedom and equality for Third World people, his skill as a songwriter was as strong as ever, and Exodus boasted more than a few classics, “including the title song, ‘Three Little Birds,’ ‘Waiting in Vain,’ and ‘Turn Your Lights Down Low,’ tunes that defined Marley’s gift for sounding laid-back and incisive at once,” writes AllMusic. Exodus — now a landmark production on Analogue Productions Hybrid Stereo SACD!

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.
