One of the most successful and admired opera singers of all time, Luciano Pavarotti was king among tenors from the late 1960s through the 1990s. His voice was noted for its exciting upper register, and tailor-made for the operas of Verdi, Bellini, Donizetti, and Puccini, and as it darkened slightly over the years, for the verismo composers as well. His vocal longevity, which kept him singing youthfully well into his sixties, and still beautifully after that, was a credit to his commanding technique and artistry, and remarkable considering his nearly 40 years of performing. Pavarotti's father was a baker, and his mother worked in a cigar factory.

Sometimes perfection is a real bore. In an age where karaoke puppets and corporate niche marketing have rubbed any rough edges from our aural diet, it comes as quite a shock to hear stuff like this. For, while most of this material stems from a timeframe and genre that prided itself on its musical ability, it's by no means a smooth and unchallenging ride. Even Richard Madeley's favourite band, the Moody Blues (who provide the title track to this anthology) sound edgy and mysterious to modern ears. And yet it all fell under the banner of the mighty Decca label.

Powerhouse Records and Tom Principato are proud to announce the Feb. 24, 2017 release, from Fender Telecaster icon and guitar legend and virtuoso Roy Buchanan, the CD Roy Buchanan: Telemaster Live In '75. The third release by Roy Buchanan in the "Guitarchives" series (POW-134). These recordings are rare, unreleased, never heard performances of the Fender guitar master in his prime with his well-oiled road band of the era, and feature many great musicians such as Dick Heintze, Malcolm Lukens, John Harrison, and Roy Byrd. The recordings are clean and clear, especially for the 1970s.
