Grammy-Winning Album Features Sophisticated Arrangements and Jazzy Backdrops: Billy Joel's 52nd Street Includes Hits 'Big Shot' and 'My Life'Sourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes and Pressed at RTI for Superb Sound: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP Set Delivers Broad Soundtages and Expansive DynamicsSome artists embrace their success by repeating the steps that originally granted them fame. Billy Joel did the opposite, refusing to be contained by prescribed approaches or constrained by a given label. The follow-up to the breakthrough The Stranger, 52nd Street further expands on it's predecessor's bold production techniques and inventive arrangements, incorporating more sophisticated textures as well as reflecting a jazz edge gleaned from New York City's thriving club scene.A key piece of Mobile Fidelity's Billy Joel catalog restoration series, 52nd Street is here sourced from the original master tapes and pressed on 45RPM 180g LP at RTI. The wider and deeper grooves - as well as the meticulous mastering - yield resplendent dynamics, broad soundstages, three-dimensional perspectives, and tonal balances absent from prior editions. This is how you want to experience the 1978 LP that captured the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.Teaming again with producer Phil Ramone, Joel capitalizes on his momentum, churning out another direct-sounding affair replete with captivating melodic devices, showmanship accents, and penetrating lyrics. The singer's concision and focus is evident via the tune's lengths, with only 'Until the Night' breaking the six-minute mark. Hit singles 'Big Shot' and 'My Life' rattle forth with an urgency and intensity that Joel had not previously demonstrated, the combination of passionate deliveries, snide overtones, and insistent grooves setting the table for what follows.Broadening his palette, and drawing from New York's thriving jazz club scene and the city's late-70s grit, Joel splashes Latin and jazz colors on several pieces, employing veterans such as Dave Grusin and Freddie Hubbard to contribute along with a cast that includes a team of background vocalists and horn players. Everything is tastefully appointed, and yet the vocalist's trademark Broadway gaze and knack for the grand gesture coincide with the straight-ahead swagger.52nd Street is one of the main reasons why Joel has always been championed for consistency. Everything here, from the production to the stand-up songs, helped redefine mainstream pop-rock. Decades later, it's finally available in fidelity that nears that of the Columbia Records' master tapes produced right on 52nd Street.1/4' / 15 IPS / Dolby A analog master to DSD 64 to analog console to latheTrack Listing:A1 Big Shot 4:01A2 Honesty 3:50A3 My Life 4:43B1 Zanzibar 5:10B2 Stiletto 4:39C1 Rosalinda's Eyes 4:40C2 Half A Mile Away 4:06D1 Until The Night 6:35D2 52nd Street 2:27

Limited orange colored vinyl. BLIND MELON was the eponymous debut album by acclaimed rock band Blind Melon, released in 1992, featuring breakthrough single 'No Rain'. Fronted by singer Shannon Hoon (who can be heard doing backing vocals on Guns N Roses' Use Your Illusion I and II) Blind Melon had a distinctive sound, influenced by Southern Rock and Psychedelic Rock. Songs like 'Soak the Sin' and 'Tones of Home' evoke Hard Rock with a funky sound; 'Time' resembles Grateful Dead-style improvisational music and acoustic songs like 'Change' and 'No Rain' hinted at Pop and Folk influences. The band recorded the bulk of the album with producer Rick Parashar (who had produced Pearl Jam's 'Ten') at London Bridge Studio in Seattle, Washington. Blind Melon's production is marked by the use of outdated amplifiers and other antiquated studio technology. Modern studio effects were not used in it's production as the band wanted to create a pure and intimate sounding record.

"The Joker soundtrack album features an original score by Emmy Award-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir (Chernobyl, Sicario: Day of the Soldado), whose composition features the cello as the centerpiece of the score, leading string-based melodies played by a symphony orchestra of 90 musicians. It won the following accolades: WINNER BEST ORIGINAL SCORE, ACADEMY® AWARD, GRAMMY® AWARD, GLOBE® AWARD, BAFTA® AWARD.To interpret the many themes explored throughout the film, director Todd Phillips very early on turned to the composer. "Hildur was writing music as far back as pre-production. I was sending her script pages and she was writing music before we even shot, and what she did for the film is so unique," says Phillips.Guðnadóttir remarks, "Todd asked me to write some music based on my feelings from reading the script, which I was inspired to do because it truly resonated with me." She sent him a sample and recalls, "The film is a gritty character study, which to me translated to melodies that are very simple and monotonic, because that's kind of the way Joaquin's character Arthur is seeing things. Then I tried to expand within that simplicity the orchestration around Joker's evolution not with chords or any complicated music, but with texture that I felt resonated with the melancholia of this character."The emotional thrum that underscores Rustin's triumphs and challenges amid one of the country's most significant moments in history, is captured through Grammy-winning jazz and classic artist and composer Branford Marsalis' score. Captured in multiple cities - New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Charlotte and New Orleans - the soundtrack was recorded digitally, then mixed to analog 2-track before being mastered digitally.That includes the track "Show Me Your Ideas," one of the score's more energetic contributions. The song seemingly captures the initial rhythm of an idea and the eventual buzz of collaboration. It was, according to Marsalis, the byproduct of a scene that required he "create a sound that delivered enthusiasm sonically.""There are plenty of versions of that in the 60s. Blue Note Records required most of the musicians they hired to record to have at least one funky blues song on their records," he continues. "Listening to Blue Note records by Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock to name a few, gave me a great sonic template to create the sound that we felt best fit the scene."The track's big band approach helps it fluctuate between a single and collective sound - something that speaks to the larger reality of Rustin's work within the Civil Rights Movement. A singular activist could conceive of a particular initiative or effort, but to carry it out on the scale necessary to create change, they'd need to eventually be open to and rely on others."Much of what I write has roots in the music that I've listened to. This is kind of an old R&B way of writing: start with the bass, then the drums, then the other instruments," Marsalis says. "One version of this style - off the top of my head - is Herbie Hancock's song 'Chameleon.' I didn't think of it as a metaphor, but I was mindful of the fact that the scene starts with Bayard speaking alone, and gradually more and more of the students participate in the dialogue."Marsalis says much of the soundtrack, including "Show Me Your Ideas," was inspired by Wolfe's own music interests as a fan of blues, and it's variations - jazz, gospel and R&B, to name a few. But it's that big band sound - "brass (trumpets and trombones), as well as woodwinds (five-piece saxophone section)" - that most effectively captures the emotion of the sequence it soundtracks.
