Ray Charles – Ray Charles – Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series Hybrid Mono SACD
Ray Charles' self-titled 1957 album was one of the first handful of albums 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 record, its raison d'etre.

Run DMC – King of Rock – Mofi SACD
IN AUDIOPHILE QUALITY FOR THE FIRST TIME: HYBRID SACD PLAYS WITH VISCERAL IMMEDIACY
Run-D.M.C. leaves no doubt about its intent on King of Rock. The New York trio's hard-hitting sophomore album begins with a statement of purpose ("Rock the House") that serves as a stereophonic primer for the title track, a hybrid warning-anthem-theme song that swarms with justified boasts, heavy metal riffs, booming beats, cowbell accents, and dance-worthy grooves. The back-to-back tunes set the tone for a 1985 record that largely established the blueprint for the hip-hop that would follow for the next two decades — and which helped make rap a mainstream currency via the previously off-limits channels of radio, TV, and the national stage.

That prolific decade witnessed his namesake band release nine studio albums, one hybrid live-studio double album, and a triple live set. The group’s penchant for exploration and mutation — and adopting those constructs into appealing songs that surprise, delight, and inspire — flares throughout Inner Secrets, a gold-certified effort that finds the collective reaching heights it would not again realize for another 10 years.

Sarah McLachlan – Solace – Analogue Productions SACD
The Analogue Productions reissue treatment delivers sonics and luxury packaging second to none for discerning collectors. Now three titles by Canadian songstress Sarah McLachlan have been given this premier makeover and you reap the benefits: Solace, Mirrorball and Afterglow.
Solace, McLachlan’s second album, is considerably more mature and musically sophisticated than her 1988 debut, the promising if limited Touch. In fact, this disc is a must-have for McLachlan fans whose first encounter with her work was with her extremely popular later releases, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and Surfacing.
