A remarkable vocalist who could holler gritty R&B lyrics, bring soul to torchy ballads, add charm and wit to the standards of the American Songbook, and make a Beatles song almost her own, Esther Phillips was formidably versatile, equally at ease with jazz, soul, country, pop and rhythm and blues. Famous for her bittersweet vocal sound and distinctive phrasing she was, in the words of Atlantic boss Ahmet Ertegun “one of the best singers he had ever heard”. Signed to Atlantic in 1964, she released a series of well-crafted albums, arranged by the likes of Ray Ellis and King Curtis. Here is some of the best of her output for the label.

Tracks from UK Ember first released 1962-1974. Throughout the Sixties and into the Seventies, Jeffrey Kruger's enterprising ember label released a steady stream of singles, EP's and albums by female artists, both soloist and girl groups. Actually, he didn't get off to the best of starts - Rock-Olga's "My Dixieland Doll" (Ember EMBS 105, 1960), is one of the worst records this writer has ever heard - but he went on to amass a strong roster of female vocalists including some who made their reputation in other fields but who nevertheless made good records for ember. Here we present a cross-section of their recordings, beat, ballads and a touch of the blues!

"This landmark compilation continues the unfoldment of diabolically obscure yet culturally and artistically essential recordings that have been hidden and precariously balanced on the precipice of obsolescence." For German musicians the mid-70s to mid-80s were an extremely fertile and fruitful time. Though The Peace Chant series is focused mainly on amateur bands, private pressings, and long lost acetates, many of the artists included here nevertheless made their mark upon the German and world music scene and even played with many of the giants of the movement. As the 60s were coming to a close, many German musicians began experimenting with fusing jazz, rock, pop, electronic, and world music with a harder, more aggressive sound.

Genre: Psychedelic Rock, Folk Rock | RAR 3% Rec. | Label: Elektra/Rhino (R2 565276 / 603497862634)

Love's Forever Changes is the psychedelic folk-rock pioneers’ finest achievement. The set features a few firsts for the album, including the CD-debut of a remastered version made by its original co-producer and engineer Bruce Botnick, as well as the first-ever release of the mono version on CD. Also included are alternate mixes of the album, as well as a selection of rare and unreleased singles and studio outtakes.
Forever Changes made only a minor dent on the charts when it was first released in 1967, but years later it became recognized as one of the finest and most haunting albums to come out of the Summer of Love, which doubtless has as much to do with the disc's themes and tone as the music, beautiful as it is…

The music is the synthesis of piano's technical, epic scales, psychedelic wah-wah guitar sounds and electronic "cosmic", molecular machines arrangements.

OMD have rarely been as dance-oriented as they are on Liberator, a collection of retro-disco and contemporary '90s club cuts. While it is far from the experimental and edgy synth-pop that earned the group rave reviews in the early '80s, it is an enjoyable, lightweight collection of appealing dance-pop.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark are one of the earliest, most commercially successful, and enduring synth pop groups. Inspired most by the advancements of Kraftwerk and striving at one point "to be ABBA and Stockhausen," they've continually drawn from early electronic music as they've alternately disregarded, mutated, or embraced the conventions of the three-minute pop song.
