The Rudy Van Gelder Sampler is a focused ten-track promotional showcase released in 2001 by Blue Note Records, celebrating the towering legacy of legendary recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder. Designed to highlight Van Gelder's meticulous 24-bit digital remastering of Blue Note's earliest 78-rpm shellac and 10-inch vinyl era, the compilation gathers landmark late-1940s and mid-1950s sessions from bebop's foundational architects. Features include Bud Powell's incendiary "Wail," Thelonious Monk's quintessential "'Round Midnight" and an alternate take of "Criss Cross," J.J. Johnson's smooth trombone workouts, Clifford Brown's iconic "Joy Spring," and Miles Davis's immortal ballad performance of "It Never Entered My Mind." Pristine sound restoration paired with historic, groundbreaking jazz performances makes this sampler a rich acoustic overview of modern jazz history's definitive sonic architect.

This is the 14th studio album released in 1982. Following the 1980 release of their previous album, "Conquest," four members, including Ken Hensley, left the band, which had been inactive. This album marks the return of the reformed Uriah Heep, led by the sole remaining member, Mick Box. While the musical style has changed, this album embodies a style that foreshadows what would later be known as melodic hard rock, and is a highly acclaimed masterpiece. This release features a paper sleeve, SHM-CD format, a 2026 remaster, and six bonus tracks!

Without Brian Eno, Roxy Music immediately became less experimental, yet they remained adventurous, as Stranded illustrates. Under the direction of Bryan Ferry, Roxy moved toward relatively straightforward territory, adding greater layers of piano and heavy guitars. Even without the washes of Eno's synthesizers, Roxy's music remains unsettling on occasion, yet in this new incarnation, they favor more measured material, whether it's the reflective "A Song for Europe" or the shifting textures of "Psalm." Even the rockers, such as the surging "Street Life" and the segmented "Mother of Pearl," are distinguished by subtle songwriting that emphasizes both Ferry's tortured glamour and Roxy's increasingly impressive grasp of sonic detail.

Roxy Music followed up their stunning debut with ‘For Your Pleasure’, an album that’s come to be regarded by many as the ultimate musical expression of Roxy Music’s early period. For this record the band found the freedom to develop the songs along experimental lines in the studio, resulting in an immensely satisfying musical statement. Added to Bryan Ferry’s alternately seductive and dystopian imagery, Eno’s other-worldly synth sounds and tape loop effects were propelled by the virtuoso musical powerhouse of Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera and Paul Thompson. Ultimately, the sum of these parts continues to earn ‘For Your Pleasure’ a place in many ‘Best Albums Of All Time’ listings and its music is as timeless and fresh today as first heard back in 1973.
