Louis Lane was the much-admired associate conductor of the legendary George Szell at the Cleveland Orchestra and took care of somewhat more remote repertoire and newer works.

For its 125th birthday, Deutsche Grammophon is releasing legendary recordings with highest sound standards: The new series The Original Source presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality.

SCHOOL’S OUT (DELUXE EDITION) begins with a newly remastered version of the 1972 original, which peaked at #2 on the albums chart. Essential tracks like “Luney Tune” and “Alma Mater” are joined by “Gutter Cat vs. The Jets.” The latter is an homage to West Side Story, a significant influence on the band. The song incorporates lyrics from “Jet Song” from the 1957 musical, which led to an unlikely songwriting credit for Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim on an Alice Cooper track.

"Prog-Rock group Gong features performances drawn from the ‘70s, which is seen as a key time in the development of the band that, 50 years on, still commands respect and interest. And have a large and dedicated fan base. The first 30 minutes features the classic “You” line-up including Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage, Pierre Moerlen and Didier Malherbe. The remaining five tracks on the album come from various sources and are all previously unreleased tracks. A must for any serious Gong fan."

"These performances mount the only serious competition as a complete set to the Leon Fleisher/George Szell versions on Sony Classical. Emil Gilels was an extraordinary virtuoso who decided to place his technical wizardry in the service of the most disciplined and demanding classical masterpieces.

Recorded in Ed Chalpin Studios in New York July/August 1967.

Gemma has spent the past 15 years developing her voice across rock, blues and soul finding influence in gut-punching artists such as Melissa Etheridge and Joe Cocker. Gemma currently leads blues/rock band Eleven:11, who play the music of Joe Bonamassa, Etta James, King King, Susan Tedeschi and more.

Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were remarkable craftsmen from the start, as Steely Dan's debut, Can't Buy a Thrill, illustrates. Each song is tightly constructed, with interlocking chords and gracefully interwoven melodies, buoyed by clever, cryptic lyrics. All of these are hallmarks of Steely Dan's signature sound, but what is most remarkable about the record is the way it differs from their later albums. Of course, one of the most notable differences is the presence of vocalist David Palmer, a professional blue-eyed soul vocalist who oversings the handful of tracks where he takes the lead. Palmer's very presence signals the one major flaw with the album – in an attempt to appeal to a wide audience, Becker and Fagen tempered their wildest impulses with mainstream pop techniques.

Deep Purple unleashed one of the best guitar riffs since the invention of rock and roll with “Smoke On The Water,” a song dubbed the Beethoven’s 5th of hard rock. Since its 1972 debut on Machine Head, the song and the album have left an indelible mark on music, inspiring countless bands around the world.

This was the very first Yes bootleg album . It was recorded live in Amsterdam in January 1972 during Yes' classic 1972 period with the classic Yes lineup which at that time had Bill Bruford on drums. The sound quality is fantastic and professionally recorded. The only issue with the album is the editing which has taken place cutting short some of the tracks. This should have ideally been a double or triple album to preserve the integrity of the original concert and track lengths. To the best of my knowledge the rest of this amazing show has never surfaced since. For a true Yes fan this is a must buy. The album is also very rare so catch it if you can !

Crazy Horse is best known as Neil Young's backup group for the the past 30 years. Originally hitting the Billboard charts in 1972 on Reprise Records, the vinyl album, "Loose", has been a long sought after collector's item.

I aptly discovered this group on the 25th December 2009. I had been searching through the archives, hoping I could find an obscure funk album with each member varying significantly in styles, an interesting cover, vaguely political lyrics, and very tight and memorable grooves. I was getting slightly worn out and frustrated that I couldn't find the album to peak my enthusiasm, until I found this one on Christmas Day.

Her second album. Bonnie Koloc was one of three performers who, during the early 1970s, made up the celebrated ‘Trinity of the Chicago Folk Scene’. The other two were John Prine and Steve Goodman.

Recorded on stage at Madison Square Garden July '72 New York. This is a 70's STEREO re-issue of the original MONO version.
