Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings

Soul Time !

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings have developed an international reputation as the No. 1 group on today’s soul scene.

Soul Time ! is an exploration of the full range of their dynamic sound through twelve songs hand picked by the Daptone Records gang, each one a precious exclusive.

Amy Winehouse

Lioness: Hidden Treasures

A collection of previously unreleased tracks, alternate versions of existing classics, as well as a couple of brand new Amy compositions.

Following her tragic passing, some of the producers and musicians who worked closely with Amy Winehouse, among them Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, spent time listening over the many recordings that Amy had made, before, during, and after the release of Frank and Back To Black.

It was said by all who worked with Amy that she never sang or played a song the same way twice. It quickly became apparent to Salaam and Mark that they had a collection of songs that deserved to be heard.

the Roots

Undun

The first conceptually-based album from The Roots. Undun quickly reaffirms the creativity of the outfit that are notorious for pushing the envelope.

The album’s first single is “Make My” featuring Big K.I.R.T. Undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999).

Through the use of emotives and Redford’s internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out `on the corner’.

Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented—postmortem—and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.

Deep Purple

BBC Sessions 1968-1970

UK 2 CD release.

The transition of Deep Purple from a cult UK band that had chart success stateside, to the rock giants we all know is captured in these fascinating session recordings.

Although the rarity of some of the sessions means the sound quality is often less than perfect, it is the stunning performances, many live-in studio, which shine through.

This was a band who could play and who could electrify the audience and the listener.

Many Purple aficionados would dare to suggest that the session version of the classic ‘Child In Time’ surpasses that of the studio version. That is, of course, is subjective but why this set is so important to the Purple story, to the band’s fans and any general rock fan.

Kate Bush

50 Words For Snow

50 Words For Snow features seven tracks set against a background of falling snow, with a total running time of 65 minutes; through a highly evocative musical and lyrical landscape this haunting album once again pushes the boundaries of Kate Bush’s art.
