The Miles Davis: The Electric Years box set collects seven albums from one of the most daring eras of Miles Davis’ career — In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew, A Tribute To Jack Johnson, Live-Evil, On The Corner, Big Fun and Get Up With It. Starting in 1969 and ending in 1974, this box tells the story of a fertile period in Miles’ career, the third or fourth time he basically blew up the rules of jazz and made it again in his own image. Endlessly influential, these albums impacted basically every genre of music to follow in their wake. The albums have all been mastered AAA from 1-to-1 tape transfers of the master tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. With GRAMMY Award-winning Steve Berkowitz supervising and consulting, the 11 LPs featured in the box come on 180g black vinyl, pressed at GZ, and will be limited in the first edition to 2,000 units. You can learn the story of these albums via an extensive Listening Notes booklet written by jazz historian and critic Ben Ratliff.

Excitable Boy established Warren Zevon as rock's gonzo figurehead – or, as Jackson Browne aptly called him, "the first and foremost proponent of song noir." A supreme collision of over-caffeinated energy, acerbic wit, dark humor, irreverent reporting, bittersweet romance, swept-under-the-rug truth, and illicit desire sent up with booze, pills, and therapist confessions, the breakthrough album zeroes in on frightening aspects of American culture with an incisiveness that's even sharper today than upon the effort's release in 1978. And the music has never sounded so excitable.

Demonstrating a deep-seated flair for soul and R&B, Paul Simon recruited gospel backup singers and traveled to the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios to further refine the vibrant sounds he desired for There Goes Rhymin' Simon. Clearly, his instincts proved correct. Many rightly consider the iconic singer-songwriter's third album a masterpiece – one that, per critic Robert Christgau, "suggests a new grace and flexibility for the mass-pop mode, and invests small subjects and emotions with an almost luminous wit and awareness."

Sourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes: Hybrid SACD Plays with Audiophile Sound
Teeming with identifiable characters, youthful romanticism, vivid narratives, and sophisticated arrangements, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. is a personal postcard from the heart, soul, and mind of a rock 'n' roll lifer bent on discovering his world and what lays beyond it. The 1973 album establishes many of the signature themes and sounds Bruce Springsteen would embrace throughout his unparalleled career. No wonder a majority of the songs – "Blinded by the Light," "Lost in the Flood," "Spirit in the Night" included – remain staples of the New Jersey native's fabled concerts.

"… the SACDs definitely offer a clearer view into the music. You also get a better sense of the group harmonies, with a clearer sense of the other three members of the group’s vocal contributions … To my ears, this is the best these albums have ever sounded, so if you are an early Frampton fan, these will really make you smile.

From Jock Bartley, co-founder of Firefall: The 'concept' of this album is unique and exciting - Many of the original FIREFALL band members - Rick Roberts, Jock Bartley, Mark Andes, Michael Clarke, Larry Burnett & David Muse - had played and would play in other famous bands (The Byrds, Flying Burrito Bros, Spirit, Dan Fogelberg, Heart, Gram Parsons). In 1976-77 FIREFALL played on tour & got to be friends with many top bands of the day; Doobie Bros., Loggins & Messina, The Band (!!), Fleetwood Mac, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshal Tucker and others. "FRIENDS & FAMILY" album is FIREFALL in 2023 respectfully and lovingly re-creating those other band's songs, honoring those bands and that amazing time in American music: the late 1960s and 1970s!! FIREFALL is honored and thankful to have played a small role in that fantastic musical era.

What if Dixie Chicks were in Joe Zawinuls band, immersed in his famous philosophy «We always solo and we never solo»? The music in these highly unlikely scenarios would probably resemble Open String Departments debut-album!
