	The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery Sealed - Vinyl - CR00850 Sealed 2025 audiophile remaster for Craft's revamped OJC series. Discog Notes: Recorded by Jack Higgins at Reeves Sound Studios, New York City; January 26 and 28, 1960. "The incredible Wes Montgomery of 1960 was more discernible and distinctive than the guitarist who would emerge a few years later as a pop stylist and precursor to George Benson in the '70s. On this landmark recording, Montgomery veered away from his home Indianapolis-based organ combo with Melvin Rhyne, the California-based Montgomery Brothers band, and other studio sidemen he had been placed with briefly. Off to New York City and a date with Tommy Flanagan's trio, Montgomery seems in his post- to hard bop element, swinging fluently with purpose, drive, and vigor not heard in an electric guitarist since bop progenitor Charlie Christian. Setting him apart from the rest, this recording established Montgomery as the most formidable modern guitarist of the era, and eventually its most influential. There's some classic material here, including the cat-quick but perhaps a trifle anxious version of the Sonny Rollins bop evergreen "Airegin," the famous repeated modal progressive and hard bop jam "Four on Six," and Montgomery's immortal soul waltz "West Coast Blues," effortlessly rendered with its memorable melody and flowing, elegant chiffon-like lines. Flanagan, at a time shortly after leaving his native Detroit, is the perfect pianist for this session. He plays forcefully but never overtly so on the bop tracks, offering up his trademark delicacy on the laid-back "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" and easy-as-pie "Gone with the Wind." With the dynamic Philadelphia rhythm section of brothers Percy Heath on bass and drummer Albert Heath, they play a healthy Latin beat on the choppy and dramatic melody of Montgomery's original "Mr. Walker." Montgomery is clearly talented beyond convention, consistently brilliant, and indeed incredible in the company of his sidemen, and this recording -- an essential addition to every jazz guitarist fan's collection -- put him on the map."

	Radio City Sealed - Vinyl - ADS-1501 Sealed 2024 50th anniversary limited edition reissue on red & white swirl vinyl. "Radio City" is the second studio album by the American rock band Big Star, released in February 1974. The album is renowned for its influence on the power pop genre, characterized by its crisp, jangly guitars and melodic hooks. Unlike its predecessor, "Radio City" was recorded primarily as a three-piece band following the departure of founding member Chris Bell. The remaining members, Alex Chilton, Jody Stephens, and Andy Hummel, crafted a sound that was both raw and polished, blending elements of rock, pop, and soul. The album features standout tracks such as "September Gurls" and "Back of a Car," which have been celebrated for their infectious melodies and lyrical depth. Despite its critical acclaim, "Radio City" suffered from distribution issues that limited its commercial success, ultimately becoming a cult classic over time. The album was recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, with much of the production handled by John Fry. Its lo-fi aesthetic and emotional resonance have endeared it to generations of fans and musicians alike. Today, "Radio City" is often regarded as a seminal work that captures the essence of 1970s power pop, with its influence extending to later bands across various genres. Its legacy continues to grow, cementing Big Star's place in the pantheon of influential rock bands. ... more
	Here We Go Crazy Sealed - Vinyl - 964140211 Sealed 2025 original gatefold pressing on standard black vinyl. Custom hype sticker on shrink. "Bob Mould is not happy. Never a man known for his sunny disposition, Mould has built a long, successful career out of channeling his rage through his urgent songs, his passionate bark of a voice, and the roar of his electric guitar, and even when he seems relatively upbeat (as on 2019's Sunshine Rock) or goes acoustic (1989's Workbook, his solo debut), it's hard to detect a smile in his work. So the dark visions of 2025's Here We Go Crazy should surprise no one, though it's been a while since he's sounded quite as flummoxed by the world around him as he does here. 2020's Blue Hearts was an explicitly political set that used rage as fuel, but Here We Go Crazy often sounds like he's deeply frustrated in the head and heart, and that a good primal scream isn't going to make it all go away. The good news is that from a musical standpoint, Mould has put his moodiness to good use. Here We Go Crazy once again teams him with bassist Jason Narducy and drummer Jon Wurster, the rhythm section he's been working with since 2012's Silver Age, and they remain the best band Mould has ever worked with, playing this music with a perfect balance of violence and precision, and collectively they tear into these songs with dazzling strength, making canny use of dynamics even when they're in fifth gear. And Mould's gift for writing ear-catching melodies that mesh with his hardcore-informed attack is every bit as pleasing as it was in his days with Sugar and Hüsker Dü. That said, the claustrophobic tension of this music seems best appreciated in short bursts -- when he sings, "I worry for the future, I worry for the pain/ I worry myself sick about the wear and tear and strain" in "You Need to Shine," he sounds absolutely sincere, even if he later qualifies it with "All I want is happiness for you." And the moments of solace in "Your Side" (about a long-term relationship) and "Breathing Room" (about his creative process) have a hard time cutting through the gloom. The craft of Here We Go Crazy is superb, and Bob Mould is one of the very, very few musicians who came up in the 1980s hardcore scene and is still making powerful, relevant music in the 2020s. However, if he wanted to make an album that reflects the chaos of the culture that witnessed its creation, he may have hit the bullseye just a bit too close to the center."

	Forever Now Used - Vinyl - ARC 38261 1982 original with inner sleeve. The Psychedelic Furs carved out a unique space within the late 1970s and early 1980s music landscape, emerging from the London post-punk scene with a sound both gritty and elegant. Fronted by Richard Butler's distinctive, gravelly baritone, the band wove together elements of art-rock, new wave, and a melancholic romanticism. Their music was often characterized by a brooding atmosphere, complex arrangements featuring prominent saxophone lines, and lyrics that explored themes of disillusionment and poetic beauty. They cultivated an aesthetic that was simultaneously dark and alluring, establishing themselves as masters of evocative soundscapes that balanced raw energy with sophisticated introspection. Their 1982 album, Forever Now, signified a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing a more refined and commercially accessible sound. With production helmed by the renowned Todd Rundgren, this production offered a brighter, more polished sheen without sacrificing the band's essential character. Tracks such as the enduring "Love My Way" highlight the album's blend of melodic appeal and the Furs' signature blend of introspection and soaring hooks. It successfully broadened their audience, demonstrating an evolution from their earlier, more abrasive post-punk leanings into a sophisticated, atmospheric rock that resonated widely. ... more
