David Crosby – If I Could Only Remember My Name – MoFi SACD
Original price was: £42.00.£33.00Current price is: £33.00.Mastered From The Original Master Tapes: Hybrid Sacd Conveys The Altered-Consciousness Aura, And Natural Lushness Of The Acoustic-Based Music
No album personifies the relaxed, loose, albeit troubled early 1970s California aura like If I Could Only Remember My Name. Hallucinogenic, trippy, and akin to a foggy dream you want to last for hours on end, David Crosby’s blissed-out solo debut transcends time and remains a key influence on the contemporary freak-folk scene. A thoroughly unique statement, it lingers as a beautiful convergence of spontaneity, collaboration, circumstance, and recording-studio acumen. Now, more than 50 years after its release, the longtime audiophile favorite has never sounded more ethereal, present, detailed, balanced, or lush.

Elvis Presley – Blue Hawaii – MoFi SACD
£39.95The old adage about Elvis Presley is that his soundtrack work never held a candle next to his studio albums.
Though true for a majority of his film-related outings, the traditional notion is forever disproved by his Blue Hawaii set.
Originally released in 1961 in support of the film in which he starred, the triple-platinum LP spent nearly five months at the top of the Billboard album charts; outsold his two prior studio efforts; and ultimately, remains the second-best-selling soundtrack of the musical-dominant 1960s. And now, it has received sonic treatment befitting rock royalty.

Holst: Hammersmith – Reference Recordings HDCD
£29.95“This recording was made in Dallas’s showcase Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in June 1990. The repertory is a mix of standards— Holst’s two suites—and the mildly esoteric A Moorside Suite and Hammersmith. Of these, Hammersmith will appeal to those who like the composer’s Planets, particularly Uranus. The selections are played in Holst’s original instrumentation, and sound much the better and cleaner for it. The ensemble is crisp, and the solo and sectional playing measures up to a truly ‘symphonic’ standard. …the Texans seem to have a secure grasp of Holst’s idiom. The hall provides something very close to an ideal sound envelope, and the recording presents a well- focused image with lots of depth, good presence, and, except for some brightness in the high brass, natural tonal balance.” —Ted Libbey
