Edith Piaf lived a tortured life. She died at 47 of liver cancer after years of alcohol abuse and pill addiction, and it's reported that her last words were "Every damn thing you do in this life, you have to pay for." While that's a hard way to live, her pain and emotion rang true in song, and there's not a better or more gut wrenching torch singer in history than Ms. Piaf. Collecting some of her most famous recordings, including the immortal "La Vie en Rose", "Tout Fout le Camp", and "Le Vagabond", this is a brilliant retrospective of her career and a perfect entry point into the world of one of the greatest vocalists of the 20th Century.

Remastered from the original analogue tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl!“Elton John” is the second album by English singer-songwriter Elton John, released in 1970. However, because it was his first album released in America, many people there assumed it was his first album, as Empty Sky was not released in the US until 1975. Elton John includes his breakthrough hit, "Your Song", and helped to establish his career during what was considered the "singer-songwriter" era of popular music. In the US, it was certified gold in February 1971 by the RIAA. In the same year, it was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits (1972) is the first compilation album from Simon & Garfunkel. The album was a mix of original studio recordings and four previously unreleased live recordings. The remaining ten studio songs comprise nine singles released between 1965 and 1972, "America" being issued as a single several years after its appearance as a track on the Bookends album, and one album track, "Bookends".

Bridge over Troubled Water is the fifth and final studio album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, originally released in January 1970. Both critically and commercially successful, the album topped the charts in over ten countries and received two Grammy Awards, plus four more for the title song. It sold around 25 million records and was ranked on several lists, including at number 51 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

A revered figure in his native Isan region, and indeed throughout Thailand, Doi Inthanon is a legendary composer, producer, visionary and talent-spotter, a man who combines business acumen with an unerring ability to both predict and engender new directions in Thai popular music. Fittingly naming himself after the tallest mountain in the nation, he has towered over Thai music since the early 70s, and is still active today. This compilation, the first “various artists” collection in the EM Records + Soi 48 Thai music series, is an avalanche of Doi Inthanon productions, big hits and rare treasures spanning the early 70s to the mid-80s. The songs here cover a range of genres, comprising luk thung isan, Thai funk, and molam, including examples of "lam phaen", one of several styles created by the producer himself. Doi Inthanon is highly regarded as a developer of singers, and this compilation has no shortage of greats: national icons Angkanang Khunchai and Po Chalatnoi Songsoem, second-generation molam idols such as Onuma Singsiri and Hongthong Dao-udon, soul sister No. 1 Khwanta Fasawang, and 80s-90s Isan star Thongmai Mali. Doi Inthanon is a key figure in Isan pop music, and this essential collection conveniently gathers hard-to-find tracks which have been issued on various labels in Thailand, including Double Rabbits, Apple, Uea Aree and his own private label. Available now on vinyl and CD, with most of the tracks on the CD version making their appearance in that format.

This first YMO album was released in 1978 in Japan ('79 in Europe) and set a precedent in the music industry like never before. By releasing this daring album, YMO shook the world with their 'Synthpop', at the time a revelation as well as a revolution. Featuring the hit "Firecracker", an infectious and exotic Martin Denny cover, which became a staple in the early Hip Hop scene in New York.180g vinyl.

The B-52's is the debut album by the Athens, Georgia-based new wave band The B-52's. The band went on to release several chart-topping singles. Produced by Chris Blackwell, The B-52's peaked at number 59 on the Billboard 200, and "Rock Lobster" reached number 56 on the Hot 100. 180g vinyl.

A musical legacy that began in Hawthorne, California and went on to conquer the world. Analogue Productions presents the ultimate pressings of 14 essential Beach Boys albums! Mastered by Kevin Gray, most from the original master tapes, and plated and pressed by Quality Record Pressings, the finest LP pressing facility in the world, these are awesome recordings to experience. And the look of each album befits its sonic superiority! Presented in 'old school' Stoughton tip-on jackets, these time honored favorites shine brighter than the originals!Worth noting on "Surf's Up" is Stephen Desper's engineering work — the entire album was mixed to a center channel quad matrix that he was developing at the time."Surf's Up" hit the Top 30 on its first release, reaching No. 29 on the Billboard LP charts — the highest chart placement the group had had since 1967. At the time of its release, "Surf's Up" was hailed by many as a comeback for The Beach Boys, who were beginning to attract raves for their live performances, including highly acclaimed sets at New York's legendary Carnegie Hall.Carl Wilson makes solid contributions on Surf's Up with "Long Promised Road" and "Feel Flows", and the album also features stellar tracks by Al Jardine and Mike Love, as well as Bruce Johnston's most enduring composition, the gently nostalgic "Disney Girls (1957)", but the album's twin jewels are both from Brian Wilson — "Til I Die" and the title track — one of the centerpieces of the then-unreleased "Smile" (cowritten by lyricist Van Dyke Parks and here given that album's "Child Is Father to the Man" as a glorious coda.) "Surf's Up" track "A Day in the Life of a Tree" is the first in a series of Brian's songs that close the album. It's simultaneously one of Brian Wilson's most deeply touching and unusual compositions; he is the narrator and object of the song (though not the vocalist; co-writer Jack Rieley lends a hand), lamenting his long life amid the pollution and grime of a city park while the somber tones of a pipe organ build atmosphere. "Til I Die", isn't the love song the title suggests; it's a haunting, fatalistic piece of pop surrealism that appeared to signal Brian's retirement from active life.

180g audiophiles Vinyl "You talkin' to ME?!?" muss eins der berühmtesten Filmzitate von einem der eindringlichsten Charaktere in der Geschichte des Films sein.Travis Bickle, der frustrierte Vietnam Veteran aus ,Taxi Driver", der durchgedrehte, von Sex und Gewalt besessene Typ, der einen Job als Taxifahrer annimmt, weil er sowieso unter Schlaflosigkeit leidet.Robert De Niros legendäre Performance sorgte unter anderem dafür, dass ,Taxi Driver" auf unzähligen ,bester Film aller Zeiten"-Listen auftaucht.Überdies war der Soundtrack der letzte aus der Feder von Hitchcocks Lieblingskomponisten Bernard Hermann, der nur einige Stunde nach Vollendung des Soundtracks verstarb.Er erschuf eine düster-bedrohliche Atmosphäre, die den Zuschauer in den gestörten Geist von Bickle hineinzieht.Es gibt nur eine Handvoll Soundtracks, die auf Vinyl funktionieren - "Taxi Driver" ist definitiv einer davon.

Before Fleetwood Mac inadvertently admitted Ms. Stevie Nicks into their band as a required adjunct to her then partner Lindsey Buckingham joining, the already multi-platinum rock powerhouse had achieved nothing close to the substance that they would eventually typify in the subsequent years. Of course, Nicks turned out to be the undeniable genius of the troop, her elegantly tempestuous creativity anchoring the band in a solidly poetic tradition and forcing the group’s trajectory in favor of a critical excavation of the human condition in search of the very base substance of human tragedy & romantic interface: it is these crucial years of Fleetwood Mac’s history that Slow To Speak seeks to emphasize in this latest of their growing reissue series.

It was John's second double album (after Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) and the first to be released by his own label, Rocket Records Ltd.

Her Greatest Hits is the firstcomprehensive collection of hits fromfolk-pop songstress Carole King.Twelve of King's greatest worksrecorded from 1971 to 1976, the albumis a sterling introduction to thediscography of one of the definitivefemale singer-songwriters of the 1970s.Billboard smashes like "It's Too Late","Jazzman", and "Nightingale" are just asmall sample of the soft rock staples tobe found within, which featurecontributions from the likes of TomScott, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell,Curtis Amy, and others.

The only album by Euphoria, released on the Heritage label in 1969, is a terrific sunshinepop masterpiece filled with dazzlingly bright songs built around radiant vocal harmoniesand solid arrangements, echoing artists such as The Mamas & The Papas, Free Designand The 5th Dimension, but with a distinctive lysergic edge. The band's sudden break-upwould lead its members to two new different projects: Bermuda Triangle and Pacheco& Alexander. Presented in facsimile gatefold sleeve and pressed on 180g vinyl. Musicgenres are labelled for a good reason. They can be of great help when it comes toputting sounds into a few words. This terrific album is usually filed with the "sunshine"tag on it and it is hard to think of a better way to describe the dazzlingly bright songsrecorded in 1969 by this American band. The core of the group was formed by Rogerand Wendy, an acoustic duo that was a regular performer at NYC's Greenwich Villagescene of folk clubs. Two more members, Tom Pacheco and Sharon Alexander, joinedthem in Euphoria during their brief existence. The band signed to Heritage Records andrecorded this fantastic self-titled debut, featuring songs mostly written by Tom Pachecoand led vocally by Roger and Wendy. Their music is built around radiant vocalharmonies and solid arrangements, echoing artists such as The Mamas & The Papas,Free Design and The 5th Dimension, but with a distinctive lysergic edge. 'there Is Now',the opening track, is a beautiful example of the psych twist that eventually spiced up thestrongest songs of the album, as so is ide The Magic Carpet'. On the other hand,Tucson' or ou Must Forget' are dreamy folk numbers that show the band's smootherside. The catchy 'calm Down' makes you wonder about Euphoria's commercial appeal ifthey had been strongly backed by promotional efforts... However, by the time the LPcame out in 1969, this kind of folk-pop sound had become out of fashion and liveperformances with top selling artists such as Van Morrison, Iron Butterfly or Sly & TheFamily Stone were not enough to reach decent sales figures. Euphoria disbanded shortlyafter their only album was released and two new different projects followed, BermudaTriangle and Pacheco & Alexander, pursuing more contemporary sounds

The debut album Looking For Saint-Tropez by TELEX is a pop-historical album, gaining international attention in it's fun approach to the popular new wave of that time.

Remastered from the original analogue tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl! “Honky Château”, released in 1972, is the fifth studio album released by Elton John. It was titled after the 18th century French chateau where it was recorded, Château d'Hérouville. The album reached number one in the US, the first of seven consecutive US number one albums for Elton John.It was certified gold in July 1972 and platinum in October 1995 by the RIAA. This was the final Elton John album on the Uni label in the US and Canada before MCA consolidated all of its various labels under the MCA brand. This and John's earlier Uni albums were later reissued on MCA Records.Two singles were released worldwide from Honky Chateau, "Rocket Man" and "Honky Cat." A third single, "Hercules," was prepared for release, but this never materialised.

The legendary 1973-74 ‘Teac Tapes’ from deep inside the Dwight Twilley Band vault have been unleashed, never before available in any format, Oister was the primary name of the Dwight Twilley and Phil Seymour duo from the time they met in 1967 until the release of their Top 20 debut “hit” single for “I’m On Fire” in 1975. The two “halves” of the Oister formed a whole, and a tight friendship and performing partnership took flight, and with Dwight’s incredible songs in hand, the two were off an running. Recording at home with one of the first (commercially-available to the public) multi-track Teac home tape machines, the Oister DIY ethic was locked in early, and just exploded with an endless stream of ethereal pop magic, most of which has never been re-recorded by the Dwight Twilley Band, remaining frozen in time. The pair were cranking out an impressive amount of original material and pressing small batches of their own acetate LPs locally in Tulsa to sell to their friends at school, of which, this 2xLP collection rounds up 20 of their finest tracks, finally available to the public after over 40 years. First edition of 500 copies. Includes a download.

COLLECTED is a perfect overview of the multiple classic hits and tracks throughout the career of The Mamas & The Papas and complimented with several popular tracks by Mama Cass Elliot.

Jon Tabakins einziges, 1975 veröffentlichtes Album teilt das Schicksal so vieler künstlerischer Werke: obwohlperfekt gemacht, fand es keine Käufer. Dennoch muss es Eingeweihte gegeben haben, die ihr Wissentradierten - sonst würde Tapete nicht 42 Jahre später dieses wundervoll-authentische Lo-Fi-Werk remasterederneut herausbringen. Tabakin wuchs in Kalifornien auf und spielte als Teenager in verschiedenen Bands. Mit19 erlitt er einen schweren Motoradunfall. Diese Erfahrung veränderte ihn. Tabakin zog sich zurück undkonzentrierte sich aufs Komponieren und Verfassen von Gedichten. Er schrieb auch viele Songs, die er nachBeendigung der High School herausbringen wollte. Dafür erwarb er einen 4-Spur-Rekorder. Gesang, Gitarreund Keyboard nahm er in seinem Appartement auf, Schlagzeug und Bass kamen später im Studio dazu. DasAlbum brachte er dann auf seinem eigenen Label Larrow heraus. Es wurde überhaupt nicht wahrgenommenund floppte. Entmutigt wandte er sich vom Pop ab und klassischen Klavierimprovisationen zu. Über Umwegelandeten Tapes seiner Aufnahmen bei RCA, die - Feuer und Flamme - das Ganze unbedingt veröffentlichenwollten. Der Deal scheiterte letztlich an der Weigerung Tabakins, auf Tour zu gehen. Im Folgenden nahm erganz Abschied von der Musik und ein Studium auf.

Laura Nyro's third Columbia effort is easily the equal of her previous two. The overwhelming strength of her song writing and distinctive arrangements fuel "Christmas And The Beads Of Sweat". Her unmistakable style of delivery maintains the continual examination of herself as a performer. The results are uniformly interesting and provocative as she continues to draw upon her love of jazz, folk, and R&B. Conceptually, this album is as potent as her previous effort, "New York Tendaberry", but in a much different way. Rather than hanging together thematically, "Christmas And The Beads Of Sweat" features two inclusive and distinctive sides of music -- with different musicians and producers for each. The first five tracks feature Nyro backed by the Swampers from Muscle Shoals, AL, and include the talents of Roger Hawkins (drums), Eddie Hinton (guitar), Dave Hood (bass), Barry Becket (vibraphone), and Jack Jennings (percussion), with Arif Mardin producing. While this pairing might seem initially incongruous, the quintet had been concurrently working with the likes of Dusty Springfield and Cher and had gained a rightful reputation as a consummate backup band. The final four pieces are steeped in noir more atypical of her previous efforts. The all-star cast of New York City session heavyweights are led by Felix Cavaliere (producer) and features fellow Rascals member Dino Danelli (drums), Ralph McDonald (percussion), Chuck Rainey (bass), Cornell Dupree (guitar), Duane Allman (guitar), and Alice Coltrane (stringed harp), among others. As with all of Nyro's recordings, at the heart of this effort are her ageless compositions and arrangements. A motif connecting such disparate tunes as the upbeat "When I Was A Freeport And You Were The Main Drag" to the hauntingly beautiful "Christmas In My Soul" and "Beads Of Sweat" is the aching hollowness that came with the disillusionment that Vietnam, Kent State, and racial relations brought upon America in 1970. As she had done with "Save The Country" some four years earlier, Nyro's cathartic expressionism is captured at its most fervent on this album. - Lindsay Planer/AMG
