Deep Purple – =1 (2xLP Black Vinyl)
‘=1’ is the highly anticipated new album by one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Deep Purple. Produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin, this record captures the band’s pioneering classic sound without relying on nostalgia, embodying the essence and attitude of their 1970s incarnation possibly more than any other recent album.
Glass Animals – I Love you So F***ing Muck (Black & White Splatter Vinyl)
Bayley and co. return with their trademark crystalline vocals over bleary eyed psych-pop beats. As infatuating as anything they have done before. Another smooth and sumptuous ride from one of the biggest guitar bands in the world.
Cliff Jordan – Cliff Craft (Blue Note, Classic Vinyl Series)
Saxophonist Clifford Jordan blew in from Chicago in 1957 with a series of excellent Blue Note dates including Cliff Craft featuring Art Farmer on trumpet, Sonny Clark on piano, George Tucker on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums. The set included Jordan originals like the sublime ‘Laconia’ plus tunes by Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
