The newly minted, piano-playing Rock and Roll Hall of Fame entry plays the RSD game with a rare vinyl setting with a tight band behind her. Also: all analog and all on clear vinyl.Ĭarole King, In Concert: Live at The BBC 1971 (Legacy) The avatars of Bakersfield’s country cosmopolitan sound, guitarists Buck Owens and Don Rich went one toke further over the line 50 years ago by appropriating the then-new vibe of the interpersonal singer-songwriting ’60s (Dylan, Donovan, Simon & Garfunkel), threw in their own brand of psychedelic C&W swing, and mono re-processed the whole thing for something bold, fresh, and revolutionarily folk-rocky.

JD McPherson, Socks (RecordingTheMasters, ThinkIndie Distribution)Īfter FLOOD’s prescient tale of RecordingTheMasters and ThinkIndie Distribution joining as one to flood the rising cassette sales market, this same pairing finds a handful of still-fresh critical favorites (in particular the dashing, eloquent country of the Avetts) to re-release solely for Black Friday.īuck Owens & His Buckaroos, Bridge Over Troubled Water (Sundazed) Raise a glass to the recently late Dean Stockwell when listening, loud. Save for composer-orchestrator Ennio Morricone’s relationship with director Sergio Leone, Badalamenti’s sensuous, sinister, and opulent string arrangements and their connection to the tortured, towering imagery of David Lynch stand above all cinematic peers. Save for its eventual production frippery, the 1971 demoed “Dream On” was both crude and elegant as a power ballad-as were rockers such as their live favorite “Major Barbara,” “Reefer Head Woman” (not officially released until 1979’s Night in the Ruts ), and early classics “Somebody,” “Movin’ Out,” “Walkin’ the Dog,” and “Mama Kin.”Īngelo Badalamenti, Blue Velvet – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Deluxe Edition (Craft Recordings) Most impactful about hearing the ever-so-slightly hissy soundcheck is how fully formed and drilled-down these guys were from the start. First up, some of the earliest, raw-powered demos recorded on Joe Perry’s Wollensak reel-to-reel tape machine by beloved Aerosmith van-driver/one-man-road-crew Mark Lehman. Like record labels themselves, the purveyors of RSD, knowing that vinyl’s price point is increasingly high due to COVID pressing problems and shortages, is extending its reach into more accessible options.Īerosmith, 1971 – The Road Starts Hear (UMe)Īvailable on vinyl and cassette, Aerosmith begins its 50-year-mark dive into rarities and catalog beauties in its label change from Columbia to Universal. Depending on the release schedule, the Black Friday RSD was (just like the post-turkey day itself) something of a hangover at first, until blossoming into its own unique signature, one that this year touches on more jazz recordings and oddball soundtracks ( The Munsters, Blue Velvet ) than any year prior.Īlong with such rich rarities, a few finales (theses RSD editions represent the last time longtime Columbia artists Maxwell and John Legend drop product with the Sony insignia), and a surprising label shift (Aerosmith’s catalog move from Columbia to UMe), look for more cassettes and CDs as part of your shopping afternoon.
