It's pressed 180-gram vinyl on a beautiful black and blue "galaxy" colorway which is packaged in a heavyweight tip-on sleeve featuring embossed foil lettering. For this edition, Bella Donna has been newly remastered using an all-analog chain, prepared by Ryan Smith (who also cut the lacquers). And if you could only own one pressing, it'd be this one. If you could only have one Stevie Nicks solo album, this would be it. Nicks' vocals are stunning, and you couldn't find better guest stars and backing musicians than Tom Petty, Don Henley, Section members Russ Kunkel and Waddy Wachtel, E Street pianist Roy Bittan, Stax legend Duck Dunn, or Elton's guitarist Davey Johnstone.

Begun while the Mac were tracking Tusk, it features some of Nicks' most enduring hits: "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," "Leather and Lace," and "Edge of Seventeen" among them. Stevie Nicks, Bella Donna (Modern/Rhino, originally released 1981 - Essentials, May 2020)īella Donna saw the Fleetwood Mac self-appointed frontwoman come into her own. All told, with sound quality and packaging this good, this pressing is a fitting tribute to the legacy of one of soul's most revered singers. It's all packaged in a matte-finished heavyweight tip-on sleeve.
The result is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed inside a replica 1968 Atco advertisement sleeve along with a listening notes booklet. Here, the material is presented in its original, hard-to-find mono mix, all-analog mastered from the original master tapes. Whether it be the aching "I've Got Dreams To Remember," the rockin' soul of "Hard to Handle" (later popularized by The Black Crowes), or Redding's version of "Amen," there's no shortage of fine material. The set shows a singer approaching the material (a mix of timeless originals, carefully chosen covers, and arranged standards) with enthusiasm and vitality.
This collection of session material from one of Otis Redding's final studio stops in 1967 was originally released in the wake of the soul singer's untimely death and the success of "(Sittin' On the) Dock of the Bay." Unlike some posthumous releases, there's no barrel-scraping here. Otis Redding, The Immortal Otis Redding (Rhino, originally released June 1968 - Classics, April 2020) A fantastic pressing beautifully presented, The Stooges (John Cale Mix) is a new, even more abrasive way to experience the album that shook the rock world, as it was intended.
It comes pressed on red and black marble vinyl, housed in a Stoughton-printed sleeve, and packaged with an LP-sized print of an outtake from the cover photo session. On vinyl for the first time ever, the Cale Mix was mastered by Bill Inglot with lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman. Produced by John Cale, the result was rejected by the label, lost for decades. But there's more to the story than the released version of The Stooges. The original version of The Stooges was even more raw. Well, the album flopped - but it spawned movements that would change the landscape of music forever. The band's label, Elektra, didn't know what to do with the Detroit band whose raw abandon just didn't match up with what the most common record buyers were listening to. It spoke to a certain way of life that hadn't quite broken through to the mainstream. The Stooges' first album is one of the most raw and immediate albums hinting at what would become known as punk rock.
