Hardly the disco set you might guess from the title - and instead, a surprisingly soulful gem from the post-Stax years of Isaac Hayes! There's certainly a bit of uptempo grooving in the mix - but, as on Ike's Polydor years, the approach is still handled with the deeper sounds that Hayes first forged over at Stax - a way of putting together the groove that's almost like a mini-symphony in soul - still quite complex, even when aimed at the dancefloor! But not all cuts are groovers, too - as there's some key mellow moments on the record that really help balance things out, and which we really like a lot - those slow-stepping, mature masculine numbers that always marked Hayes as one of the hippest talents of his generation. There's some key Memphis help on the record from The Movement - who handle rhythm and horns.

Originally released in 1979 under the title Lessons for the Lyra-Viol, this album is a definitive recording of works composed at the beginning of the 17th Century by William Corkine and Alfonso Ferrabosco. The title refers to one of Corkine’s pieces, part of a suite dedicated to love. This album enables us to enjoy the fantastic sound of Jordi Savall playing two magnificent instruments. A solo recording full of surprises and variety. Jordi Savall plays: Lyra-Viol de Paul J. Reichlin, d’après John Rose, 1598 and Basse de Viole de 6 cordes de Barak Norman, Londres 1697.

2018 remaster from the original master tapes. Pumping 1980 live album from the Irish blues-rocker, recorded on his "Top Priority" world tour. Rory and his band are in high gear all the way through this blistering 1980 LP (his third live album). They dig deep into his originals Moonchild; Bad Penny; Follow Me; Bought and Sold; The Last of the Independents; Brute Force and Ignorance; Shadow Play , and more!

Their previous album having scarcely made a ripple and, now, hitless for two years, the Bee Gees went for a new sound in the hands of producer Arif Mardin. The result was Mr. Natural, the sultriest and most soulful record they had ever delivered up to that time. Shedding their pop sensibilities here and singing in a freer, more soulful idiom (with a strong Philadelphia soul influence) on songs such as "Throw a Penny," and with a funky beat backing them up on a lot of this record, the group is scarcely recognizable in relation to their previous work. Mr. Natural was the liveliest, most invigorating body of music to come from the group since their debut, but it also had moments of extraordinary sensuality, most notably "Charade" and "Had a Lot of Love Last Night."

MC5 were nearing the end of their long and bumpy trail when they cut High Time in 1971, and it was widely ignored upon initial release. While it lacks the flame-thrower energy and "off the man!" politics of Kick Out the Jams or the frantic pace and "AM Radio of the People" sound of Back in the USA, High Time sounds like MC5's relative equivalent to the Velvet Underground's Loaded, their last and most accessible album, but still highly idiosyncratic and full of well-written, solidly played tunes. Fred Smith's "Sister Anne" and "Skunk (Sonically Speaking)" bookend the album with a pair of smart, solidly performed hard rockers (bolstered by fine horn charts), and Wayne Kramer's "Poison" ranks with the best songs he brought to the band (he later revived it for his solo album The Hard Stuff)…

Satchmo Serenades was originally comprised of sessions recorded between 1949 and 1951. It's a pleasant collection of ballads and midtempo romantic tunes, highlighted by the instrumental sections where Armstrong glides with the lush arrangements. When Satchmo serenades, his voice is a little too rough and sly to be truly seductive, but it's nevertheless charming, and while this album is hardly a significant work in his catalog, it's still enjoyable for the Armstrong fan looking for mid-period ballads.

Live Erleben is the first live album from German electronical musician, composer and producer Christopher von Deylen under his Schiller alias. As with Sehnsucht Live, the performances on Live Erleben often add a little dramatic flair to their studio-album counterparts, thought the mood remains relaxing. The highlights here tend to feature vocal collaborations, as heard on “Delicately Yours” and “Distance” (both with Kim Sanders), “The Smile” (with Sarah Brightman), and “I’ve Seen It All” (with Maya Saban), and plenty of in-rhythm handclaps from the audience. The album achieved gold status in Germany in 2016.

This edition contains Joe Pass’ earliest live recordings in their entireties. Taped at the Encore Theatre in Los Angeles, the guitarist is showcased in a quartet format playing a set of standards, including wonderful renditions of Clifford Brown’s “Joy Spring” and Charlie Parker’s “Relaxin’ at Camarillo”. Three rarely heard studio tunes from the same period featuring a similar formation have been added here as a bonus.
